Abstract

Ever since the beginning of man universal interest has been centered about these three magnetic words: MYSTERY, INTRIGUE, ADVENTURE. A famous author once said, "All the world's a stage and we are the actors in it. This in every respect is true for ourselves as well as for every­ body else. Plots are being formulated to shorten the ex­istence of one character for the other, the act is done, the stage is minus a personage, the actors hesitate, and the show goes on.
