plumb tuckered out by her
long race after Ronald. After
SO many years of it, the FSss

her and she forgot all about
the goal. With no running to

A. A. Mines THE PER
Feet ALIBI is mystery
story with a unique quality: it
does not try particularly hard
to make you sit on the edge of
your seat. And that is precisely
why it succeeds in doing so.
This puzzler, directed by Play
House veteran Frederic Nc
IConnell, opened Tuesday, De-
cember 30th in the Brooks
Theatre whose charming in
timacy lends itself so we'll to a
mystery vehicle.
That THE PERFECT ALIBI
is an unusual thriller becomes
evident in Act One, when a
shocking murder is staged in
full view of the audience. The
problem, then, becomes not the
usual: "Whodunit ?" - But, in
stead: will the cold-blooded
culprits be apprehended?"
Bertram Tanswell temporar-
lily d es erts his directorial
chores to play Arthur Ludgrove,
the unfortunate victim. Spar
king young stars Nancy Pink
erton (THE DAIRY OF ANNE
FRANK and Lynn Storer
(THE HAPPIEST MILLION
AIRE) portray a romantic pair
whose extra-curricular detec-
tive work merits notice from
the professional sleuths on the
scene. Popular stars Max Ellis
and Don Doherty team up as a
pair of clever villains, while
Robert Altman and Richard
Oberlin are the father-son de-
tectives.
Author Milne and the Play
House are friends of long stand
ing. Frederic Mcconnell has
staged three of the late Brit
ish writer's plays: BELINDA
in 1922, THE ROMANTIC AGE
in 1924, and THE TRUTH
ABOUT BLAYDES in 1929.
Mcconnell, who also played
major roles in the first and
,hird of these productions, re-
ports that THE PERFECT
ALIBI is by far his favorite. |
It is, incidentally, the only mys-
cry written by Milne, who is

Ruling Holds
Youth 10 Trial

The United States Court of
Appeals yesterday reinstated a
robbery indictment against a
17-year-old youth and held
that he was not being subjected
to.double jeopardy even though
he previously had admitted
participation in the crime at a
Juvenile Court preliminary
hearing.
The Juvenile Court proceed
ing was in line with a full
investigation" required by stat
ute before that court can waive
a case to District Court, the
appellate tribunal declared.
consequently" the court de-
clared, "it was not improper
for the Juvenile Court to con-
duct a hearing before deter
mining whether or not to waive
jurisdiction. To hold that
Jeopardy attached at that point
would preclude the full and
informal investigation in the
interests of the minor and the
community which Congress
