Miss Moir had returned to our stage to appear in a new study in terror by Lucille Fletcher called, Sorry Wrong Number. This story of a woman who accidentally overheard a conversation with death and who strophratically to prevent murder from claiming an innocent victim is tonight's tale of suspense.

If you have been with us on these two's denights, you will know that suspense is compounded of mystery and suspicion and dangerous adventure. this series are tales calculated to intrigue you, stir your nerves, to offer you a precarious situation, and then withhold the solution until the last possible moment. And so it is with
