"Bunny Brown and his Sister Sue"


Bunny and Sue could be plainly seen now, for they were exactly in the
path of the strong light. There was some laughter in the audience, and
then the man who was turning the crank of the moving picture machine
began to understand that something was wrong.
He stopped the picture film, and turned on a plain, white light, very
strong and glaring, Just like the headlights of an automobile. Bunny and
Sue could hardly see, and they looked like two black shadows on the
white screen.
"Look! Look! It's part of the show!" said some persons in front.
"Maybe they're going to sing," said others.
"Or do a little act."
"Oh, aren't they cute!" laughed a lady.
By this time the piano player had stopped making music. She knew that
something was wrong. So did the moving picture man up in his little iron
box, and so did the usher--that's the man who shows you where to find a
seat. The usher came hurrying down the aisle.
"Hello, youngsters!" he called out, but he was not in the least bit
cross. "Where did you get in?" he asked.
