This is Jeffrey barn welcoming you to the Molay Mystery Theater,

The Night's Story by Joseph Roscoe features the return of
our Mystery Theatre's most popular comedy character, Kenny Angle, the
delightful little Broadway taut who has an angle for every situation,

(01:14):
will always land behind the eight ball, and Carl Eastman
will again play the title role in the Night's Story
Kenny Angles and the Queen of Diamonds. Kenny's troubles are
started by a play written by a seventeenth century French playwright,
jeh Rassine. I remember that name, Jean Racine, or only
Kenny Angles could get into hot water because of the

(01:35):
works of a man who died two and a half
centuries ago.

Queen of diamonds?
