Distinguished Gathering by James Parish

The Odeon Theatre, Taunton, 1^st – 3^rd February, 1937

Audiences were given a slip with the question ‘Who Killed Eliot Vines?’ printed on it, and were invited to submit their theories and names and addresses during the second interval. The names of those with correct solutions were displayed in the foyer as the audience left!
