course your brother's death immediately yes the police wrote my theatre and they asked me to go to headquarters right after the performance but frankly i i couldn't finish the performance well i don't blame you have you any theories as to what might have happened no it was all a great shock to me you and your brother were very close weren't you yes we were very fond of each other and well i guess i'd better run along you'll let me know if i can help because thank you so much for coming so care you've got a whole staff a reporter some of them god to me and listen tell me this does concern you the night watchman of a big plant in the bronx was murdered do you mean to tell me you called me in the middle of the night to tell me i was one was killed you're crazy now i'm not allies excuse me miss carney tony will reach of the record i happen to be at the scene of the other murders so naturally i'm interested in this one would you mind answering a few questions good morning good mo awfully glad you could come i want to talk to you because the doubt thank you oh i see you've been reading my review yes it's a little harsh on the place i'm afraid the play wasn't very good i guess you're right it closes tonight on i'm sorry well the other notices were bad too in fact not his kind of joy you know father said some very nice things about you last night he's very fond of you i think a great deal about mr world which the reason i asked you to come over is i have a very special request to make naturally you have the right to see you i'll be glad to do anything i can i'm worried about father very worried he's ill and he's been behaving strangely lately really and he seems to suffer from lapse of memory but anyway i want him to quit the stage and really retire is not a question of money any more has it ever been frankly father's had his financial reverses as of all  resent that his play is a hit i know but it's worth trying and it might save his life disease that it's not only that i have a terrible premonition that he will be killed next unless we do something to prevent it or frankly i have the same well i'm glad you told me this i'll look into it right away and about father i'll talk to him too that's very kind of you i hope i haven't presumed a great deal about it all my i be presumptious for a moment are you going to marry john carroll be the columns or follow up i haven't quite made up my mind wow wow i haven't quite made up my mind why i ask you that's a strange question maybe but it's not exactly an idle question no no you see i've sort of appointed myself guardian well a critic is god you have an active family that's the millennium are perhaps with sounds like i'm interested  wanted then we're going to the gotham theatre and do a little investigating i suppose his brother's death had something to do with it i don't think you knew about it then i'll go in and mum's the word oh one other little thing might and this is strictly between you and me was there a shooting accident here last night or not that i know i want to talk about belong to mr moore they're really antiques roberts's dressed takes care of them i see how does it happen that our real blood was used on one of them last night i don't know must have been a mistake don't you load them with blanks yes oh did you see joe yes thomas i know that an accident happened here last night and there's no use your denying it now i won't print anything you tell me but i would like to hear about it mr moore ask us not to talk about it it's someone try frankly i'd rather not do it no i want you to talk to him but only as you said at the psychological moment leave it to me how about having dinner with me tonight no not tonight i have a date but ask me again that minute he's in his dressing room now thank you i'll be right back like you know i take america i think and there i go fam i come from i get i'd interested i not at all i have a feeling that there's something progressively sinister behind those murders and that perhaps you yourself might be in danger but i have no adam is that your brother had it well a business man sometimes makes atom is you know of course that peter kearney was at one time your company electrician rather i'd forgot he was mrs carney tell me mr moore something happened when you were running that old more repertoire company something that had repercussions today what was out of a moment take is probably the worst thing in the world you mean you don't believe he's the killer i don't know but i doubt if the police are on the right track why were they killed what could have happened those many years ago mr burrage or digging into the past like a google might even just upon making me talk about things that are better forgotten because you know yourself there's a killer lives was bent on wiping out all the moore's possibly everyone on this program but in the paper it said that the police had arrested some i know the police unfortunately they are didn't work near the truth do you feel that you are if you drop me what happened in the more repertoire company twenty five years ago well it is it began when i joined the company jonathan began to show an interest but i was not with one of the active heavy branches with his name then suddenly one day henry just peered into thin air i was distracted i even went to the re you still married to no i devoted to many years ago he's dead now he died in an asylum his effects were sent to me you know he changed considerably after our marriage he was moody extremely jealous something seemed to be happening to his mind honest in order to save my own sanity i understand residue can and would you do me a favor and come to the garden theater with me all the excitement about somebody took a shot at me for just imagining things claudia and you know there was another shooting here tonight you know or somebody heard no but the bullet almost had my name on it but why would anybody want to kill you i'm not sure the bullet was meant for me you think it was meant for my father could be kept the police do there's been a murder committed right here in your apartment a murder here you hurt me programs were available for anyone who wanted to look at them they're playbills from the older more repertoire company and are very murder victims are on them so that's the connection one played the start button each one kept in kid nero in the you mean as bait to catch the murderer what else why moore's been playing in the theater for months he's been using himself a bait the killer was after him that's right it's probably only a matter of time before the killer strikes it more but i'm going to different idea if a pattern were followed deliberately the killer might rise to the bait especially if it ok but it's dangerous to leave my man like more  from the fed and there's enough actors down there to fill the metropolitan opera house and they all want to play brutus supposing we don't get the right brutus that's a chance we'll have to drag but i'll lay odds that the wright brothers will show up and with the dagger and supposing that dagger hits moore in the throat or some place that's not protected by that steel best that's another chance we'll have to beg you mean more we'll have to take a listen tony i don't like that anyway why have anything happens that means my bad we just can't allow anything to go wrong that's all right for you to say you'll still be the dramatic critic of the record and i'll be putting up the top of flatbush isn't so bad i was there once for a trial come on the set of let's go get a drink you look like you need well where do you want your dramatic critic with a nervous breakdown i'm going to see more that he's going to have it he's going to some of some practical joker probably you know tony five is in danger i know and now miss more everybody on the stage is being watched so you just take it easy i have a feeling that there's something going on something i don't know about what is it mean no no no you're too late now the rest of you on stage
