This clever mysTery play which has been played by more Than a Thousand schools aTTer a long, successTul run on The proTessional sTage, was laid around an isolaTed counTry esTaTe called MysTery Manor, because oT The alleged haunTings. Erma Lowrie, a young shop girl, had inheriTed The esTaTe Trom her eccenTric aunT, and according To The Terms oT The will she had To occupy The house Tor The period of one year. Erma's cousins, ArThur l-lale and Oswald Kerins, her loving AunT Sophia and Peggy Van Ess, a Tormer girl Triend, were all house-guesTs when Things began To happen! There was a delighTTul Thread oT romance, clean and highly-amusing comedy, alThough The mysTery elemenT dominaTed, Thcre were no dead bodies, no shoTs Tired and noThing really gruesome. Much Time, worlc and careTul planning resulTed in whaT was hoped To be one oT The besT producTions ever sTaged in This high school. Many mechanical and elecTrical eTTecTs had To be worked ouT. The play iTselT needed careTul rehearsing as The acTion was rapid, characTerizaTions all vasTly diTTerenT and well wriTTen.
