drama, is proving one of the most de-
lightful plays yet offered by the Bon-
stelle Company at the Playhouse and
will be continued for a second week.
The play was produced in New
York City with Madge Kennedy and
Gregory Kelly playing the leading
roles and won the plaudits of the crit-
ics, Percy Hammond of the New York
Herald-Tribune, stating: "The play
bamboozled me and the audience
pleasantly."
The final act is located in a sup-
posedly haunted house where comedy
and melodrama run each other a rapid
race with the climax being entirely
different than the audience is led to
suspect at the beginning.
