The night she was murdered

An appointment with whom?

No.

Then why...???

It was the first dark night and....

I certainly ought to know where my own damn stage manager was, ken.

Biff Trudy, and I'll do ALL THR PAGE BOYS

I'll bet u will

More batty than usual.

If that's possible

Your eyes are very blue.

Perhaps I will have a drink now. It makes it so much easier to excuse licentious behavior .

Quick, someone, a martini , I am in danger of frostbite.

ROGER DDARLINGGGG U LOOK DIVOON, SIMPLY.... DIVOON.

So I moved into the closet and set something on fire.

Set what on fire.

And sent to Princeton university

Showgirl costumes? I thought Princeton was a men's school.

Let her stay! I need to get started!!!!

Sit here elsa

But not licentious

What's the difference??

To other passages , the house is laced with them.

My goodness, Nancy Drew would be in seventh heaven here, wouldn't she? You never told me about this Elsa, never!!

Lion atwill, George sanders, Peter Lorre and John Carradine.

I saw it ken, and it was some of your best work.

No they werent

WERENT what?

We have been gathered in This particular house?

A backers audition.

Oh, I guess I did that.

A secret Passage,Elsa? Where does it lead??

Before going to dinner at toffenettis

Couldn't have been, ken. The stage manager was with me at the blue ribbon.

( all at the same time)

Bernice darling Please!!!!!!!

The book.

Bernice!

Hi gang

Bernice, darling!!!!

Oh god , yes

Coffees a good idea

Let him get his own agent.

Elsa, I can't wait for you to hear the show. It's DIVOON, simply DIVOON!! And I have a budget all worked out.Sardies naturally , and if we charge the actors just a teensy cover charge, we'll break even. (Seeing back of revolving book- case) ELSA ARE U REDECORATING?!!!

Ah you must be Mr. mcCuen ,since your only one unaccounted for. im your hostess ,Elsa Von Grossennueten and of coarse u know Miss Baverstock and Mr. O'reiley since you rode upbwith them.

Hardley know, Elsa as Mr. McCuen was up front with your driver. I didn't get the opportunity to tell you, Mr. McCuen , that I think its SIMPLY DIVOON of you to fill in in the last moment like this. ;)

What?

Has the silliness of Rogers frightened u?

You've added a brace latte I see.

Have a drink with us, Bernice. I'm having a Teeny martooni

This house was built by Him when we left Germany at the end of the war.

He was a general?

And I've been upstairs heating it with a candle.

Heating the lock?

I must have that martini.

How about our performers?Dare u have a drink before attempting to entice Elsa out of her money?

Saurerbraten?

How inspired! She's chosen a dish, that even if she ruined, no one could tell the difference.

WHITE HOUSE MERRY GO ROUND MARJORIE ( AFTER SING)

I LOVE IT DO FAR AND SO WILL ELSA. The tunes ; they lyrics, DIVOON. SIMPLY DIVOON!!!

Adore the rehearsal process

It will spoil the audition for u, Elsa.

Is all our company met?

KEN DARLING!!!! HOW DIVOON

Ja whol

Ken darling, look( she moves pen holder and bookcase opens and closes). A SECRET PASSAGE!!!

Marjorie,honey ( they kiss...... Exageratedly)

Kids, this is ken de la maize, your director. Whom haven't you met,ken?

Margorie sweetheart, love your new word.

Let me introduce. Actors, this is Roger Hopewell. They're to do your music,Roger. Miss,Crandall, Mr. Mccuen, Mr. O'REILLY

I shan't stay long, just a soupçon.

No really ,I.....

For that to be the true killer would have to be in this room.

Oh, let's not be ridiculous. Of coarse it isn't one of us. We're show people. (Quickly) so ... On with "act the second". As Shakespeare might have said.

There are also some page boys

Sounds DIVOON simply DIVOON.

Well universal has signed them and we've been approached about some songs.

That reminds me. The lead dancer from that show. The boy.... Grover champion....

Be realistic roger .

This, cast, is Bernice Roth, the librettist (to Bernice) YOUR CAST.

They're nothing Marjorie , just your average , ordinary everyday secret passage ways .

Was this a stop on the underground railway or something ?

Grover Champion

We should think about him. I know your only in the first draft, Bernice, but hunk about taking that long , long,lllooooonnnngggggg section where the sailor is telling the girl how beautiful she is and making it a ballet.

I thought I heard something about a blood soaked carpet.

We were talking about real life, helsa. Though God knows why, since we're here to do a musical comedy.

I know , but

Well I know, For one, would be quite sorry to see you go. I've been hearing such good things about your work. And of coarse, Ken De La Maize, who is directing the audition, knows every agent in Hollywood. Do you have an Agent in Hollywood , Eddie?

Just thiught it worth mentioning.

Well if you believe there to be a killer loose, best not stand Infrint of the bookcase. It's a secret passage

She had an appointment at the hotel.

With whom? No one was there!!!

Secrecy,Stealth, and subterfuge.

but why the secret passages??
