The audience is let in from the start on the details of a British tennis player's plot to have his wife murdered so that he can inherit her money. The suspense of the play comes from the question of whether or not he can divert suspicion from himself. A further note of complication is intro- duced by the love affair between his wife and an American television writer. The murder plan is successful except that the hired assassin is killed instead of the wife. From this point on, the audience intensely participates in the cat and mouse game played by the villian and the alert, per- severing police inspector. Cne small detail in pinning the murder on his wife keeps the tennis player just one step ahead of 5 the other characters until the forces of justice are victorious. During a final rehearsal Irene Klemme, 3S5i5-tant dil'ECt0f, and Mr. Thomas E. Jones, director, scrutinize action on the stage. I i ' 'Dial QM ' for Murder ' ' l, X 0 N AQ by Frederick Knott 'x P ' S Gu-I A All the tension of a suspenseful murder mystery is reflected in the countenances of the actors.
