"I did nothing to discourage the mistake, and I
presume Gusty Durgin still believes I pose before the camera."
"Gusty has aspirations that way herself," chuckled Bane. "She is a
character."
"I wonder what kind of screen actress I would make?"
He smiled down at her rather grimly. "The kind the directors call the
appealing type, I fancy, Miss Grayling. Though I have no doubt you
would do much better than most. Making big eyes at a camera is the
limit of art achieved by many of our feminine screen stars. I do not
expect to put in a very pleasant summer amid my present surroundings."
"Oh, then you are here for more than one picture."
"Several, if the weather proves propitious. I shall play the fisherman
hero, or the villain, until my manager has my new play ready in the
fall. Believe me, Miss Grayling, I am not in love with this picture
drama. But when one is offered for his resting season half as much
again as he can possibly earn during the run of a legitimate Broadway
production he must not be blamed for accepting the contract.
