Washington theatergoers-at least
very large number of then-have seen
Seven Keys to Baldpate": they have
been thrilled with it; they have laugh
ed at it, and then, while on their way
home after the play, have laughed at
themselves for being fooled with It.
There is never feeling of resentment,
because the whole thing is so clever
that one feels impelled to congratulate,
not condemn, the author and the play
wright, one or both of them, for its
genuine novelty and the enjoyment it
affords. The auditor feels much as the
child might feel who expected the
pumpkin to fly open and disclose a rab-
bit, when, 10 and behold. a mule bobs
up in view and stays, instead of run
ming away, to help him laugh at the
northumberland at himself.
Those who do not know are inform
ed that Mr.. George NJ. Conan, the an
gularly ungraceful young man who
thumped himself into great popularity
at first with his feet in the unique Co
hanesaue dance, and then essayed to
make the musical comedy writers take
a back seat while his own product
stalked to the front, with its blend of
impudence and patriotism, has now
borrowed from a story WRITTEN ny Earl
Derr Biggers the main suggestions for
a play and by injecting into 1T much
of his own daring and defiance of con-
ventional drama construction has real
~ evolved a new thing that he calls
"a mystery farce" 1t is just as well
to call it that as anything else, because
what it is has not heretofore been de-
fined by doctors of dramatic construc-
tion and disease. The guesser might
call it, melodrana with a farcical
climax, which has all the grip and
thrills of the ore and all the fun and
laughter possible to the other. What
ever it is. it is a genuinely good even
ing's entertainment, but it is an abuse
of time and effort TO describe il.
All that happens in it occurs in the
large office of summer hotel on the
summit OF Haldpste mountain in mid
winter. The Office is q glass-roofed
and glass-doored affair. with an open
stairway leading to an open gallery,
from which the rooms are reached.
The glass paneS show plainly the drift

William Hallowell Magee. a writer of
1urid melodrama, has come there on a
wager of $4,000 to write a best seller

Garden.

The Shubert's film production, when
Broadway Was a Trail,' was the stel-
lar attraction at Moore's Garden Thea
ter yesterday. It is romance of
early New Amsterdam days, full of
incidents and charm, written and pro-
duced by o. A. c. Lund. The con-
trasted communities of New Amster-
dam, now known as New York, and
Danvers, now Salem, Mass, furnish
Mr.. Lund background for an effective
story. There is an abundance of heart
interest. and intimate views are pre-
scented of New York city in the olden
time and in the present day.

strolled into the IN. & N" saloon where from
the rather disturbed atmosphere of the place l
noticed something was amiss. One just
picking himself up from the ground, while most
OF the attention concentrated upon drunken
miner sitting billiard table. On inquiring
what the trouble was, | informed that the
miner had buffaoed" the saloon--in other words
he defied the crowd any of the bartenders (the
man whom l had observed picking himself up
of the latter TO put him outside. No
one accepted the invitation till the door opened
and a trooper of the r. n. w. NJ. police in his
red coat strolled in Another trooper quietly fol-
lowed Neither IN any way appeared to notice
anything was particularly wrong The first troop
er strolled up to the table and looking steadily at
the drunken miner, quietly ordered him to put
on his coat and get out. The miner started to
swear and buster; but at the repeated order
this time in rather sharper tones he put his coat
on and walked out like lamb. The two troop
ers followed. They did not even trouble to ar
rest him. the occurrence being unusual one.
This little incident made me realize what
influence this small body OF men had gained in
that wild stretch of country. During the great
rush the troops OF this corps-one OF the finest
that ever ruled the kings dominions-did their
work In the Icy north on their wage OF 81 a day,
when the lowest wage for ordinary skilled labor
was seldom under $40 During that mad rush
into Klondike not single murder was committed

In addition to the fact that the population is
