      Reception


      The Wireless Weekly said "the play moved ahead in rattling good style. Anonymous telephone calls, mysterious pieces of rope, blood-curdling legends about a locked door, kept popping up... There is no doubt that Max Afford, who wrote the play, can be afraid of nothing, least of all his own vivid imagination "
