Review – Mystery in Wax The acting of the two guests, Mira McKinney (Madame Selena Dawn) and Lester Sharpe (Andrew Dawn) pulled off a macabre episode featuring sinister events, a noir effect in step with the movies immediately after the war. The over-playing of the wicked witch voice and the mannerisms worked as Madame Selena profited from her eccentricities at the expense of prominent citizens and a mouse of a husband. The interplay between Madame Selena and Lois Lane was precious at the table of her interview with Clark. Lois asking why Madame behaved the way she did, abducting five people, it was Henderson stating it was for the money, because of her predictions seemingly coming true, she raked in the profits for her little wax museum. Here is also proof again the recurring regulars, Reeves, Coates, Hamilton, and Shayne worked well together. The chemistry was there to carry off a plot such as witnessed, and recommended. The combined scenes at the Planet, the museum and the pier worked to keep the mystery there while Lois and Clark worked their investigative magic. The episodes with acting, not gimmicks, i.e. robots, dubious professors, etc. were the best, and Phyllis Coates was at her best in the role of Lois Lane.
