Strehlo on April 9, 1943. It 'vas a great success. The music between acts was furnished by an instru- mental group directed by Mr. R. S. Forde. Norma's mother, the famous Martha Drake, dies mysteriously at a week end party she is giving and Norma, not satisfied with the doctor's decision that her death was caused by heart failure. invites all those who were present the night of her death up to their cottage hoping to uncover the murderer. By means of an automatic phonograph she has her mother's voice ccme at them out of thin air thinking that the mur- derer will give himself away, but someone discovers and destroys the phonograph which upsets all Norma's plans. Later during a seance being conducted by Mr. Majundahr, a Hindu mystic, the voice is heard again, much to the amazement of Kenneth and Norma. Then a figure bathed in a green light appears on the stairs as the ghost of Martha and accuses Ken of the murder. Every one except the Negro maid Ruby has a motive for killing Martha, but Norma can't believe Ken is guilty. Finally things come to a point and, thanks to Erifget, everything is cleared up Martha had dis- covered that Madam Wilma Grunn was a Nazi spy and Wilma killed her to keep her from telling. Each one confesses his secret and Madam Grunn drowns when her car plunges into the lake. The play ends with a laugh when Ruby Lee, who has been hiding under the Cavenport, loses her skirt while being pulled out and runs off stage displaying her pantalettes.
