But New York already has two Democratic Senators firmly embedded in their red-leather chairs at Washington. He has business offers (here his feline pacing), plenty of them. William Randolph Hearst wants him to write a syndicated daily article in the manner of Will Rogers.

This play, long a favorite at all-star frolics, depicts a British landowner of gentle mien and sinuous mind who has gathered about his dinner table twelve persons whom he suspects of the murder of his brother. He informs them lazily of the fact, cleverly casts suspicion on them all, tells them that certain postprandial actions will reveal the murderer. The ladies then retire. Over their wine...
