Joy Davis, of Dallas, who
presented a dramatic study of
die life and style of Agatha
Christie Mallowan, literature’s
lengendary “mistress of
mystery.”
Joy hat- been speaking
pnblically for 12 years
throughout the southwest and
has been described as *
“verbal artist”
In custume, Mrs. Davis
vividly traveled through the Ufe
of Agatha Christie. Agatha’s
first book was published in 1920
with over 400 million copies
sold in the last SO years. The
brillant author carefully
designed each mysterious plot
logtaBy to appMl to every
mind. Many of her clues were
taken from,*, the Bible,
Shakespeare, and nursery
rhymes. B:
Agatha credited her
ideas to the ex-
periences she had while
working in a hospital dispen-
sary during World War n. She
learned a great deal about the
harmful effects of poison and
later used this knowledge to kill
many of her characters.
In 1914 Agatha married a war
hero named Captain Archibald
Christie, but her new husband
left immediatley for war. They
had a daughter, Rosalyn, but
their relationship never ad-
justed after his return from
combat.
In December of 1926, Capt.
Christie left Agatha to live with
his new mistress. Agatha
packed a bag and left the
following day. Her abandoned
car was found on the side of an
embankment with her fur coat
and bag still in the seat. A
muddy shoe was discovered at
the bottom of the embankement
suggesting she could possibly
be dead. Captain Christie
posted a reward for any leads
tp her whereabouts. An in-
nkeeper recognized the picture
of Ajgatha and called to say she

Agatha was registered under
her husband’s mistresses
name. She claimed to be suf-
fering from amnesia. There has
been some controversy as to
whether she actually had
amnesia or skillfully planned
the diversion.
After a mysterious disap-
pearance, Agatha wrote six
books under the name of Mary
Westmacon, but the books

'Agatha and Capt. Christie
divorced in 1927. Her career
skyrocketed in the years to
come. She has written many
best selling novels of wit and
intriguing suspense.
Agatha married a successful
archaeologist Sir Max
Mallowan and traveled abroad
with her new husband on many
expeditions.
She wrote her last book in
1970 and died in 1976.
Mrs. Davis displayed

Christie’s books to aid the
audience in visualizing the life
