Noted actor Fredric March makes his second appearance on Suspense in this Ben Hecht play based on his short story. Hecht narrates this account of a strange dinner party staged to trap the murderer of a prominent actor’s daughter. 

Both east and west network recordings have survived. The close of the east recording mentions “next Thursday” and the close of the west recording mentions “next week.” The east recording is slightly better than the west, but both are good.

The cast: FREDRIC MARCH (Maurice Tillihugh), BEN HECHT (Himself, the narrator), John McIntire (Alfred O’Shea / Clerk), Hans Conried (Walter / Fritz Von Klauber), Harry Lang (Morey Stein), Joe Kearns (Man in Black / Butler / Doctor), Jeanette Nolan? (Marsha Tillihugh / Rina)
