That was the be- ginning ofa sadistic poem which greeted ten guests on an island off the coast of Devon, England. That was lust the start of West Leyden's first murder mystery, Ten Little Indians, by Agatha Christie. It was sponsored by the National Thespian Society and was a great success which left the entire audience glued to their seat with shock after blood-curdling shock.

Their host was unknown to all of them until his voice interrupted their dinner with accusations against every one of them.

It continued on until One Little Indian left all alone, he went and hanged himself and then there were none. Ten Little Indians
