There's a door from the dressing rooms, Kennedy suggested.
gpt
Any of the actors or actresses could have used the place.
human
Of course! Manton grasped at the straw.
gpt
I had forgotten. There have been complaints to me about the players using that room.
human
I have the towel with me, wrapped up in a paper in this grip, Kennedy went on.
gpt
It's so very valuable as a bit of evidence--I wonder if I could borrow a locker so as to keep it under lock and key until we're ready to return to the laboratory?
human
Sure! Of course! Manton glanced about and saw the little knot of people still gathered in the set.
gpt
Millard! Go over and tell Kauf to get busy. He's losing time. Then he turned to us again.
human
Come on, Mr. Kennedy, we have some steel lockers out by the property room.
gpt
Do you ever use snakes in films, Mr. Manton?
human
Why, no! The promoter stopped in his surprise.
gpt
That is, not if we ever can help it. The censorship won't pass anything with snakes.
human
You have used them, though?
gpt
Yes. Once we made a short-length special subject, nothing but snakes. Manton became enthusiastic.
human
It was a wonder, too; a pet film of mine. We made it with the direct co-operation and supervision of the greatest authority on poisonous snakes in the country, Doctor Nagoya of Castleton Institute.
gpt
Have you any copies of that particular film?
human
Just the negative, I believe.
gpt
Could I have that for a few days?
human
Of course! Manton seemed to wish to give us every possible amount of co-operation; yet this request puzzled him.
gpt
Would you care to go down to the negative vaults with me?
