In the play, he is a pitiable dodderer who fails to realize what is happening until his son-in-law is murdered. It is his spinster friend, Lorinda Pike, who spots the Corpo invasion from afar.

But he has a knack of conveying a sense of horror ; in one Invitation to a Murder scene a rich and powerful California lady lies in a deathlike trance, shrouded, while the grisly organ music of her funeral fills her mansion. Lorinda Channing (Gale Sondergaard) feigns death with the aid of a struggling physician (Walter Abel) to trap a relative who has been trying to poison her. Returning from the tomb, she personally executes her would-be assassin, neatly shifts the blame to another. Between waves of goose-pimples, audiences have spells...
