MURDER AT THE SEANCE
ADAME DAUVRAY is holding one of her seances: "There is a presence in the room. I will speak to it. Who are you that comes to us from the spirit world? Answer! Who are you? Fingers touch my forehead ... my eyes... now they touch my cheek ... now my throat. . ." Next morning, Inspector Hanaud, of the Sdreté Generale, moves in to investigate the murder. Madame Dauvray’s household was a small one; the list of suspects short. First in line is Celia Harland, the old lady’s companion, who cannot be found. e others are the chauffeur Henri Servettaz, the charwoman, and the maid Héléne Vauquier. The latter was found by the police in her bedroom-bound. gagged and chloroformed. At the out-
set, prospects look dim for Celia Harland. Thus opens At the Villa Rose, a new eight-part NZBS serial to be broadcast first by 2YA at 3.0 p.m. on Tuesday, August 17. The story was written by A. E. W. Mason, and the cast includes Roy Leywood as the Inspector, and Ria Sohier (herewith) as the maid Héléne Vauquier.
