About This Book

Two sisters and their actor father face financial strain after the father's sudden loss of a theatrical engagement, and the girls resolve to help by seeking work. They find opportunity in the early photo-drama industry, learning stage and screen tasks while coping with rehearsals, replacements, jealousies, and a mysterious missing model that sparks a pursuit and capture. The narrative follows their practical resourcefulness, family loyalty, and growing independence as they balance household worries, theatrical setbacks, and the challenges of nascent motion-picture production.
