When George NJ. Conan decided to
dramatize Earl Der Biggers' popular
novel. Seven Keys to Baldpate." the
wise ones" of the theater said It
couldn't be done; there was too much ac-
ton in the novel to be embraced in one
evenings entertainment. But Mr.. Conan
has succeeded in putting into his play
every incident found in the book and
then added few more for good measure.
Mr.. Biggers in his novel left the solu-
ton Of the mysterious seven keys to
Baldpate to the ingenuity of the reader.
but Mr.. Conan solves the problem in .
highly amusing manner The audience
Is kept in complete darkness as to the
outcome of the story until the final

striking examples of sustained sus-
pense to be found on the modern stage.

humor the joke by writing to her sup

The announcement Of Lieut. Hinkamp's
lecture has aroused widespread interest
for the reason that this officer has spent
the last five or six years in working out
methods of operating these dangerous
little boats and is probably better
acquainted with them than any other
officer Of the navy.
At the present time. though this newest
weaaon Of Mars Is being utilized with
such deadly effect. the average citizen
has no idea Of the manner In which these
boats are operated. the methods used in
sinking and raising them. and the fight-
