The Moving Picture Girls Snowbound Or, The Proof on the Film

"The Moving Picture Girls Snowbound" by Laura Lee Hope is an adventure story for young readers set in the early days of film. We follow the DeVere sisters, Ruth and Alice, and their father, a former actor, as they face challenges and strive for stability. The family is stressed because their father is late from the film studio, suggesting bigger problems to come. The girls are quite different, with Alice being energetic and Ruth being more serious. When their father gets back, they learn about Dan Merley, who says the family owes him money, threatening their reputation and finances. As they get ready for a new adventure, a blizzard traps them on their way to Elk Lodge, which becomes a story of adventure and family drama happening against the backdrop of a snowy landscape.
