"In the Dark."
"In the Dark" turned out a good sized hit. There is a novel idea in this bit of sketching, and, while not overly well done, is away from the usual run of playlets, and for that reason is welcome. Starting out like a real drama, it takes an unexpected shift for comedy, and works into a real farce with a dramatic touch at the finish. Varlerie Vergere once used the idea of circumstantial evidence for a dramatic play, and the theme is used in this sketch, but worked up to a comedy finish that is very enjoyable.
