When George M Cohan writes a
play he It aur? of the earnest atten
tion of a theatergoing puhlic which
has oo>me to know that hi# stage ef
forts are distinctly worth while.
That being the ccm, the announce
ment that his lateat farce, "Reven
Key? to Baldpate," Is to be present
ad here at the New Theater fo* one
time, Friday night, April Snd, will
be welcome news t^ this famous ac
tlior's following. Tt has been eat d
that "Seven Key? to Baldpate," 1? a
distinct d Apart n re from stage tradi
tion, In that Cohan haa thrown eth
ics aside and constructed a farce a
long s/beolutely new Tinea. It was
Inevitable that In doing this he
tfhould have arootod discussion a
mong the reviewers of things theat
rical. but the concensus of opinion
seams to be that Coblanle departure,
admittedly daring. Is the most In
terecting, laughable, thrilling and al
together enjoyable piece of comedy
writing that has been seen CqT sev
eral seasons.
