Those outstanding pitter of thrills brings you an hour, a full 60 minutes of suspense. Tonight, a banner presentation of Emile and William's classic, Night Must Fall, directed by Anton M. Leader and produced by Robert Montgomery.
Our stars, Mr. Montgomery and Dave May Whitty, with Heather Angel, Richard Nay and Matthew Bolden, in Night Must Fall. This is Robert Montgomery. I cannot introduce Night Must Fall. I have no words in prologue. So surely do I feel that the play is the thing. But I can introduce with great anticipation and pride the performance
of Dame Maywitti as Mrs. Bramson, Heather Angel as Olivia Grain, Richard Nae as Ubit Lowery and Matthew Bolton as Inspector Bell's eyes. It is our particular pride that both Dame Maywitti and Matthew Bolton are playing the roles they created in the original stage play in London, and I will play Danny.
With these performances and with Night Must Fall, we again hope to keep you in Suspen! It is a smallish place, a typical English country cottage rambling and comfortable, with roses climbing upon the walls and the fences.
Surrounding it on every side stands the dark bulk of the forest, the massive trees close packed, their interlacing canopies shadowing the undergrowth below. It is an out-of-the-way place, far from the nearest village, a mile or more from the nearest neighbor, a proper place for a murder, you might say.
Usually the forest quiet is undisturbed, but today one might hear a few scattered shouts see strange men in uncomfortable city clothes poking above through the brush searching and in the Bramson cottage door of a maid is receiving a visitor in the kitchen.
