"Then we'll go ashore, too. I want to get some pictures in which a small
boat will figure. So we'll take the camera along, Russ, and get some of
those views I spoke of."
Some scenes ashore were filmed, and then, carrying out the idea of the
drama, Ruth and Alice, with Paul Ardite, got into a small boat.
They were to go down stream a little way, and there go through certain
"business" called for in the play. Paul was to row.
The boat floated under the arching moss and vines that trailed from the
trees on the bank. Now and then a snag would be struck, and on such
occasions Ruth would start nervously, and cry out:
"Alligators!"
"Oh, please stop!" begged Alice, after two or three of these scares. "I
don't believe there's an alligator within ten miles of us."
"Of course not," agreed Paul.
All this while Russ was getting films of the boat containing the two
moving picture girls. He was following in another boat.
"Steady there!" he called, at a certain point. "Better toss over your
anchor, and stay there a while. I want a long film of this scene."
"All right," agreed Paul, and with a splash the little anchor went over
the side. The boat swung around and then became stationary. Russ was
grinding away at the camera when, suddenly, the boat he was filming, with
its occupants, began moving up stream.
