“See here, fellows,” Frank said, “it looks as though we had stumbled upon a fine opportunity.”
“Splendid!” voiced Randy.
“It strikes me just right,” approved Pep. “What a dandy place we can make of it, with all this space! Why, we’ll put three rows of seats, the middle one double. There’s all kinds of space on the walls for posters. I’ll have to get an assistant usher and——”
“Hold on, Pep!” laughed Frank. “Aren’t you going pretty fast? The rent may be ’way out of our reach. You know we are not exactly millionaires, and our limited capital may not come anywhere near covering things.”

“There’s no harm in that,” replied Frank.
He went up to the owner of the place while Randy and Pep strolled outside. They walked around the building twice, studying it in every particular. Randy looked eager and Pep excited as Frank came out on the sidewalk. They could tell from the pleased look on his face that he was the bearer of good news.
“What is it, Frank?” queried Randy, anxiously.
“The rent isn’t half what I expected it to be.”
“Good!” cried Pep.
