The juniors came through with :I real mystery this year. We quote: This is a new kind of mystery play- one that doesn't depend on shrieks, clutching -hands, or sliding panels for its effects. lnstead, Who Killed Aunt Caroline? is a study in character, humorous and pleasant characters, and tha't's the thing about this clever play that gets you. For instead of peopling the st:-gc with a lot ol' fright- ening suspects, each with some diabolical reason for committing the crime, the author introduces as amiable a hunch of people as you would ever meet. The linrlicott family are the kind of -folks who live next floor. And for three exciting acts there hangs over your head the knowledge that one of these genial people has committed a cold, calculating murder. Of oourse, Aunt Caroline deserved to die. She was mean, domineering and rieh. But who killed her? The cast includes: Mrs. Eleanor Endicott, a paino teache. ,,,, Jo Ann 'I'lmnmg Agnes, aged 17 L ...,...........,..,.,.....
