orning," replied Janet. "My, but it's good to see you again. I didn't know you were going to be in this promotional unit." The cowboy flushed and grinned somewhat sheepishly. "Well, to tell the truth, I've always wanted to try broadcasting a little and I finally pestered the general manager out on the coast until he sent me along and ordered them to give me a part. Come on and meet the director of this unit." Curt led them over to a small group where a rather slender, dark-haired man was speaking. He turned to face them as they approached and Janet noted that he wore unusually thick glasses, indicating that his eyes were in need of heavy correction. "This is Mr. Ben Adolphi," said Curt, by way of introduction. "Mr. Adolphi has been assigned by the World Broadcasting Company to handle this promotion work."

At the rear of the room was a low platform which might be used for an orchestra and to the left, through a heavy plate glass window, was the control room where the engineers regulated the volume of the program and fed it out on the air. Near the door was a desk with a microphone on it for the announcer, and beyond that was a tall steel stand with several microphones, attached to adjustable arms, on it. These could be placed in any portion of the room to pick up the program to the best advantage. Mr. Adolphi joined them within a few minutes. He carried a handful of script with him and handed one section to Janet and another to Helen. "You understand that this company is comparatively small when you think of the one used in the production of the picture?" he reminded them. "It will be necessary for you to take several parts, but all of them will be minor roles since I understand neither of you have had any experience in broadcasting." The girls nodded their understanding, and the director plunged on. "We are going to give only the high spots of the film story over the air, but in addit
