hat? A play where the cast drops dead? They did not actually just drop-they were murdered by a psy- chotic killer. That is what happened to eight or the eleven cast members in the fall play Ten Little Indians, an Agatha Christie murder-mystery pre- sented November 16417 in the audiA torium. Ten ceramic Indian figurines 0n the mantlepiece of an old country-house pro- c vide the title of the o a play. The myS- mansion is terious owned Mrs Owen by who invites eight guests to spend the weekend at his isolated retreats One by one the Tlittle lndiansi' began to disappear in a series of bizarre accidents. First to go was the spoiled Anthony Marston tDon Raposey followed closely by the cook, Mrs. Rogers tDawn Sissont. The butler Uack Warrent was axed. Old Emily Brent tHeather Laszloy was drugged; Justice Wargrave tChip Collinsy was shot; Dry Armstrong tMike Bracey took a walk off a Cliff; and foolish Mr. Blore tDave Tucked was crushed by a heavy bronze Clock. The dashing Captain Lombard tMark Bloomt was shot by the clever secretary Vera Claythorne tAmy Betontey So where is the mystery? Vera did it, right? Wrong! Apparently Dr. Arm- strong pronounced the justice dead, so the iustice could keep tabs on every- one and expose the killer The justice then killed Blore and the doctor re- vealed himself to Vera as the psycho- path responsible for the whole cha- rade. Fortunately, Lombard was only grazed by Vera's bullet and he man- aged to retrieve his gun and save her from the crazed justice who invented Mr. Owen in order to carry out his scheme of murder. Kim Nejbauer played Nancy Narracott, the boatman. Tl wish we could have continued longerf said director Mr. Raymond Moore. I had a good script, a good cast, a superb stage-crew headed by Gary Ende, and a well-conceived set, which all contributed to our success? CAREFULLY CONTEMPLATING THE RECENT MURDERS Chip Collins rehearses his role of Sir Lawrence Wargrave at one of the lung evening practice sessrons. Fine Hrts E'B
