And Now For Those Immortal Words. . . TI-IE BUTLER DID IT! As the lights dimmed and the crowd grew quiet, the curtain rose and life flooded the stage, as Ara- gon's Theatre Company present- ed the fall play Out of Sight . . . Out of Murder. Directed by Mr. Bruce Hoard, the play proved to be both humorous and intriguing. The cast of nine people held the audience through their witty lines and fine acting. Yet, not only was the cast to be credited, but also the crew, who worked hard behind the scenes. The play was about a murder mystery writer who ends up writ- ing his novel in the old home of a murdered writer. Frustrated by his work, his characters all come to life, from the always pregnant maid, to the sweet ingenue. Slowly people were murdered one by one, but who had done it? With all the extreme personalities it was difficult to tell, and then came the moment of truth, The butler did it.!', Combining the themes of love, adventure, humor, mystery, and intrigue, the fall play was definitely a resounding success. As one per- son commented, l really enjoyed watching the play. Everything was very well done and I never would have guessed the butlerf, Out of sight , . . Out of Murder Peter Knight Minna ....
