Spectators were most disappointed by the voice-from-beyond scene, a difficult illusion which failed to get across the footlights, through no fault of Miss Cornell and her excellent supporting cast. Though he played his part as the stricken oracle with ingratiating charm, Burgess Meredith could not help tripping over Mr. van Druten's script...
