Invisible Ghost
Ace Boggess
Banner Productions,
Monogram Pictures, 1941
Bela, killer, debonair
in a haunting suit,
having dinner with his dead wife
who isn’t really &
isn’t at the table.
Hypnotic insanity—
nobody plays it like he:
with his cool delivery,
how he chokes the air
out of the screen.
Oh, but police
can’t solve murders for years
in the same house—
better to be a criminal
than an employee.
