...somewhat naively solves "The Preview Murder Mystery." The plot hinges upon a cinema director's suspicion that his actress-wife, Gail Patrick, is in love with the hero of a film which he has just finished.

Togo lived a long time after that, but never so fully again. By the time of the World War he was no longer on the active list. His battered old Mikasa, laid up too, was made a national shrine. An unpretentious hero, as Chief of the General Staff he plodded...
