SHOW "Seven Keys to Baldpate," which was presents at the New Theater here last night, h easily one of the beat shows that has ever been given here. The play Is a mystery farce based on Earl Derr Biggera' novel and written by George M. Cohan. It I* one of his most suocessful produc tions and has proved to be one of the most popular showB ever sent on the road. The scene 1b laid in' the office of Baldpate Inn, a summer hotel situ ated on the top of Baldpate moun tain. Here it Is that William How ard Magee, a young novelist, comes to write a complete novel in twenty four hours to win a $5,000 be' he made with one of his friends. He arrives on a stormy night to begin hla wlrk and Is given only key to ! the place and left in * solitude to complete bis task. From the old caretakers he learns a taw facts re garding previous occurrences at the inn and surrounding circumstances. When he retfres to his work he has already selected bis characters and laid the plot of his story. The young novelist has apparently lost all hope of winning his wager on account of the series of interrupt Hon*, 'but when it is all over it is found that what the audienfce has been witnessing was only the stor tie was writing. There was after all only one key to Baldpate and the writer of melodrama wins his wag er by finishing his novel Just in Mms. The acting vras Indeed very good It fa In fact the splendid acting of the characters that makes this plaT so popular. The stage fettings are sood, and on the whole the audience was greatly pleased.
