Noah Mystery Show Wins Approval of Crowd Craterian Showing A spook - and spoof picture which provides that gagging screen and radio comedian, Bob Hope, with the funniest materinl he has ever had was presented to local audiences for the first time last night at the Cratermn Theater. It's "The Cat and the Canary," starring Paulette God dard with Bob, and featuring a host of players admirably suited to the alternately gay and chill- inspiring moods of the picture. The eerie doings have their Inception in a spooky old man sion in the Louisiana bayous. The strange gentleman who owned the place he has been dead ten years has provided that his heirs hear the reading of his will at midnight ten years after his death. Consequently, Hope and Miss Goddard proceed thence, along with four others, and the lawyer who is to read the will. They are greeted more or less by the deceased's housekeeper, a strange looking lady who has lived there alone since her master s death. With the reading of the will, and the naming of Miss God dard as heiress, provided she doesn't go insane or mad within a month, the creepy mood really becomes intensified. Ensuing events are marked by the ap pearance of "The Cat," who or which is supposedly- an es caped, murderous lunatic from a nearby asylum. Terror stalks through the house that night with "The Cat scaring every body, especially Miss Goddard. The Cat" murders the lawyer the only person knowing the name of the second heir and events lead to a thrilling, hair raising climax.
