As the main story progresses the audience sees an entire troupe of players engaged to take part in another play. Then the players actually go through a stage rehearsal and finally produce the play wdth the appropriate scenery and background. And best of all, these incidents from backstage life are merely secondary to the main story, which concerns a murder systery and a romantic haunted theater. Years before this theater was the scene of a most peculiar crime, and a crime W'hich has never been solved. .But Robert McHugh, a famous actor manager, decides that he will undertake to solve the crime because it has so long baffled the public, and In order to do so he works out a unique plan of procedure. He decides to present in this very same haunted theater the same play, entitled “The Snare,” that was produced at the time of the original murder. Next, he gets word to all the members of the origlnaj cast and, despite their determined protests, he contrives to get them to re-engage for their former roles. Once their contracts are signed, however, things begin to happen in rapid succession. Prominent in the large cast are Byron Beasley, Jessie Busley, Ruth Saville, Richard Gordon, John Reinhard, Louise White, Irene Homer, Frank Harvey, F. S. Pelly, J. S. Murray, Fillis Reed, John T.
