ELLERY QUEEN'S ALL-STAR LINEUP

The lineup includes such steady big hitters as Charlotte Armstrong whose little old lady proves most discerning when it comes to the quality of truth. Stanley Ellin goes Greenwich Village in a most unusual Death of an Old-Fashioned Girl, while Robert L. Fish's Schlock Holmes rides the bagel circuit in fine borscht style. Robert L. Bloch is capricious and campy in a piece about Life in Our Time and newcomer James Powell contributes a charming first in The Friends of Hector Jouvet. Holly Roth's last, The Game's the Thing, written before Games People Play, is a psychological startler that bears a remarkable resemblance to Dr. Berne's interpretations. Long live the Queen!
