I ing. The novelist, watching proceedings
from the balcony whereon the room in
which he is working is situated, comes
nervously downstairs and demands an
explanation from the second man con-
cerning his possession of a key to the
lonely Adirondack resort, and his bust
ness in the place The stranger makes a
similar demand OF Magee at the point of
a revolver, but the novelist outwits him.
Following this triumph. Magee is again
startled by the insertion Of a third key
in the lock and a young woman enters.
Thus, one by one, come a newspaper re-
porter. a millionaire, the millionaire's

chief of police and the owner OF the inn.
each with a key to Baldpate. With each
new key and each new character the
fantastic plot becomes more complicated,
more filled with tense situations, and more
irresistibly funny.
Each Of the two acts is chucked full Of
surprises, and the epilogue caps the cli-
max in such a novel manner as to leave
the auditor divided between his apprecia-
ton of the cleverness of the piece and his
wonder as TO how he could have fallen
victim to so huge a joke.
Mr. Cohan founded Seven Keys to
Baldpate' on the novel Of the same title
by Earl Derr Biggers, and in his trans
formation of the story to the stage has
proven his growth in the art Of stage
craft, for the farce is the most serious
and most meritorious work that has
come from the cohan pen, proving the
great originality and versatility Of the
prolific playwright, as well as his genius
for accupulating clever situations. ---
The excellent acting of q splendidly
balanced cast and the skillful staging
which Cohan and Harris have given the
production add materially to its interest
George Parson visualizes the novelist

Marie Tempest in "SIary Goes
First"

Marie Tempest in ''SIary Goes
First"
After four years absence Marie Tenn
pest gIaddened her many admirers in
Washington by her temperance last
night at the BeIasco Theater in Henry
Arthur Jones' comedy, Mary Goes
First" Mary Winchello, a very bright
and clever woman, refuses to yield her
place as society leader in an English
manufacturing town to Lady Bodsworth,
wife of Sir Thomas, whose recent quite
unexpected elevation TO the ranks OF the
nobility has inflated both him and his i'll
bred, ignorant spouse with an undue
sense of their social Importance. Lady
Rodsworth seeks to hide her falling
charms by the aid Of cosmetics and
great mass of false hair which gives
Mary an opportunity to express the
opinion that Lady Bodsworth looks like
an ''impropriety" She refuses to apollo
gize and a suit for slander is begun
against her by the Bodsworths. Mr..
WincheIlo, whose one and only passion
is golf, tries in vain to compromise the
matter, and Mary enlists the aid of Felix
Cabin in love with her sister, Ella, to
defend the suit and besides to assist her
in her scheme TO obtain a baronetcy for
her husband and thus take the wind out
of the social sails Of the Bodsworth
family It takes three acts to bring
about these various entanglements, and
an epilogue to show up the success of
Mary's generalship and the return Of
Lady Bodsworth to common sense and
the abjuration Of cosmetics and false
hair.
MARY Goes First will hardly take
rank with other productions Of this au-
thor with which the public has become
familiar The action drags, and the dia-
logue, while clever in spots, Is not sus-
tanned in that particular. The play is in
trusted, however, TO an exceptionally able
company of comedians, every part being
in capable hands.
Miss Tempest is as sparkling as ever,
her gestures and play of features as ex-
pressive, and her ability to charm her
audience as potent. Her Characterization
of Mary winchello is artistic to degree,
and the author is fortunate indeed In hav-
ing the title role in the care of such an
actress. Miss Tempest thoroughly en-
chained her audience and had to respond
to repeated calls before the curtain. Miss
Kate Serjeantson gave an excellent and
most amusing Interpretation Of the mis-
nit Lady Bodsworth, and Kenyon Mus
grave was her able coadjutor as pompous
Sir Thomas. w. Graham Browne is ad-
mirable in the part Of Felix Galpin, while
Miss Lillian Cavanaugh Is moBt be-
witching Ella Southwood: Franklin Dyall

~ JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

ny JULIA CHANDLER MANI.
Seven Keys to Baldpate," which had
its first Washington presentation at the
New National Theater last night. is not
the sort of thing We have been led.
through previous experience, to expect
from the pen of George N. Cohan. But
that is just one of its surprises. The
piece is fairly saturated with them from
prologue to epilogue. And each one de-
lights the auditor and intensifes his in
terest just a little bit more than the pre-
Ceding one, until he has reached the
frame of mind by the time of the final
curtain where he can cheerfully forgive
the author for the daring trickery he
practices upon the audience itself that he
may develop a further novelty.
The plain fact is that the fellow out
front has been so genuinely and pleas
antly entertained that il isn't in his
heart to harbor resentment that he has
been so completely fooled.
While the program confesses but two
acts the prologue and epilogue round out
a very skillful and complete four, the
former serving to introduce the audience
to William Hallowell Magee, a young
writer Of best sellers who has made
a wager with his friend, the owner Of
liest spot that can be found and write
a novel of 1000 words in twenty-four
hours. Baldpate Inn, a summer hotel on
the top of a mountain, is decided upon
as the place for the work, and here We
find Elijah Quimby and his good wife pre-
pairing for the expected guest when the
first curtain rises. They attend to the
details for Magee's comfort, in accord
ancs with instructions from the owner Of
turn over to him the key which
is supposed to be the only key to the
hotel, and take their leave through the
sleet, the snow, and the driving wind.
Thus the end of the prologue finds one
settled down for a straight
stretch Of comedy, when the first act
switches to hilarious farce interspersed
with all the melodramatic thrills which
the novelist ever dared transform to
paper in his most impossible tale.
Hardly has the writer begun to tick on
his story on his typewriter when the pos
