The holiday chatter in their mountain clubhouse is silenced as a radio announces the news of Paula's death. Alice has just received a letter from Paula that contains an important clue. She confides this to only one of the girls, who instantly snatches the letter and burns it! Alice may have made a fatal error in choosing her confidante. Then the killer strikes at Alice, cleverly making her death seem like a suicide. Only shrewd Eve rejects the suicide theory, but then she, too, errs in her choice of a confidante.

Characters

  • Casting: 9F
  • Casting Attributes: All Female

The Notes on Character and Costumes describe the first five girls in the cast but omits the last four. The following descriptions have been taken from the text within the script:

  • Betty (Tennessee): She has a marked Southern accent, wears a little-girl dress which accentuates her tender years.

  • Shirley: She is correspondingly cute, with big round eyes and an energy that is apparently inexhaustible.

  • Stella (Shotput): She is a heavy-set girl, the horsy, athletic type. She arrives with miscellaneous sports equipment. She wears ski-pants and an oversized sweater adorned with the college letter.

  • Mary: She is pretty, graceful, and sinuous; she displays no hint of her plebeian background.
