Hi axeman,

I have not played this game but read the 2 wts here at GB wt site. There is part that wasn't in the wt that I think you're following. It might be the act that is needed to get it moving for you.
Here let you read: SPOILER:

Read Agnes Simon's file in the right lower drawer of the desk. You learn that she is a former silent film star. Now her dog, Wo-Tan, is a movie star and has been kidnapped.

Get Agnes wire recording from the safe and listen to hear the special call she used for Wo-Tan. Go to Agnes Simon's house.

Agnes' House

The butler lets you in only after Agnes insists. When you glance at the picture of Wo-Tan, Agnes appears and gives you a photo of Niles, her valet who supposedly died in a swimming accident. The butler then throws you out. Go to Scheherezade.

Hope this helps, if not lets wait for one who has played this game.

Good luck!

Like all Macromedia Director games, NOIR requires that something be done before something else happens. In this case, you must listen to the Agnes Simon wire recording before going to the house. Once you see the photo of Wo-Tan at the house, Agnes appears and you have the opportunity to pick up the picture of Niles. Once you have the picture, you get thrown out. Time to go clubbing!
