Puzzle for Players

Duluth's theatrical comeback is threatened by a mysterious curse that seems to haunt his new theater. Members of the cast start turning up dead before the curtain call. This book makes nice use of the charcter's Broadway background. - The Mystery Lover's Companion, Art Bourgeau
BACKSTAGE
BEDLAM ON THE GREAT WHITE WAY
Peter Duluth was staging a comeback on Broadway as
producer-director of a promising script by an unheralded playwright. But a
deadly drama was being re-enacted in the long-uninhabited Dragonet Theater.
Shocking apparitions were seen in dressing room mirrors; rats were set free beneath
the boards; and the coffin scene ended in some unfortunately realistic mummery.
Onstage the dramatis personae included Iris, the future Mrs.
Duluth, making her stage and romantic debut; Mirabelle, the world-weary leading
lady; Lionel, the veteran bit player; and Wessler, the famed Austrian actor.
But behind-the-scenes a beautiful ghost, a man with no face, and a phantom
saboteur were vying for the lead.
“This Broadway mystery has sound construction, brilliant
dialogue, suspense and an atmosphere of genuine horror.”
