SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE.

Seven Keys to Baldpate," mys- tery- farce, will be the attraction to- night at the Grand. This attraction appeared at the Hinton theatre, Mus kogee, Okla, Tuesday night, and the following is clipped from the Mus kogee Daily Phoenix of January 27:
 One of the cleverest, most exciting and at the same time humorous plays that the stage has seen for years is George M. Cohan's adaptation of Earl Derr Biggers story, Seven Keys to Baldpate," which was seen at the Hinton theatre last night.
 The closing line of the play is the keynote to the success of the per formance, Its the stuff the people want.
 We are not going to endeavor to review the play itself but if you don't know the story of Seven Keys to Baldpate,' we cant imagine a more delightful evenings amusement than reading Mr. Bigger's book.
 Conan has given to the dramatiZa- IlOll ol lllc oOOl ctli CiiS Nllii, illC etllu action that Conans plays are famous for It is as bright at Forty Minutes from Broadway and on an equality With his splendid daramati- zation of Get Rich Quick Walling- ford.' In fact for thrills and keep ing the audience keyed up to the last minute of the action Seven Keys to Baldpate' surpassed anything that has been offered the theater- going public for a long time.
 The presenting company of last night was a Conan and Harris organ ization, which means it was of the best. There are fourteen speaking characters in the prologue and the creation of Magee's brain, who writes the story as the play proceeds, and everyone of them was excellent in his or her particular part. There was but one stage setting, the office of Baldpate Inn, but every detail was carried out to perfection in this one scene. Seven Keys to Baldpate pleased one of the best audiences of the season and afforded some of the

will be remembered that at the con clusjea of episode four of "The Mas ter key, Dore barely saved himself from plunging through a blazing bridge into the depths of the canyon. The introduction of the fifth episode f the serial shows Tom Kane. cook of "Ihe Master Key mine, coming to the rescue of Dore as he lies half con- scioIs on the brink of the precipice. Wilkerson, who set fire to the bridge, meanwhile, is on his way toward San Francisco. En route he sends tele- gram to Drake and the latter meets him it the station.
 Mrs. Darnell, Drake and Ruth are registered at the Manx Hotel, the ad- Venturess and confidence man pass ing off the pretty young woman as their daughter.
 Upon arriving at the hotel Drake. Wllkerson and Mrs. Darnell discuss their plan to secure control of "The Master Key mine. Ruth, secreted in her room, overhears the conversation and learns for the first time that she has been trapped by her dead fath- CTS enemies.
 In order to prevent the conspira- tors from securing the deeds to "The Master Key" mine, Ruth locks them Tn dresser drawer and puts the key Tn her grip. The conspirators enter Ruins room soon afterward and, re- aIlzing that she has been listening, seize her. In the struggle Ruth faints and the conspirators decide to get her out of the hotel at once They phone for taxi bundle Ruth up and rush her downstairs through the lobby of the hotel to the taxi, only stopping long enough to pay their bill. The hotel clerk and house detective think the hurried departure strange. and try to stop Drake and Mrs. Dar- nell. Failing in this they give chase in another taXicab. The pursuit brings them to Chinatown, where they arrive in town to see Wilkerson force Ruth into an opium den owned by Sing Wah, former opium snug gler.
 Dore meanwhile arrives in San Francisco and goes to the Manx Ho- tel. The only suite vacant is that just given up by the conspirators. Dore unpacks his personal effects in the room from which Ruth has just been hurried away. One of the dres- ser drawers is locked and Dore sends for key. The drawer is opened and, to his surprise, the young mining en- gineer finds deeds to "The Master EeN" mine within.-Adv.

Some OF the Colorado fruit growers
on the eastern slope OF the Rocky
mountains have adopted an ingenious
method for protecting their peach or
charts during the winter season The
plan. which has been found to be a
meritorious one. consists os bending
the trees down TO the ground. cover
ing their branches with hay or straw
and then buryinz them under about
two inches Of soil. in much the same
way as blackberry and raspberry
bushes are cared for in cold climates.
Although in the past the peach trees
in this section suffered much damage
and frequently were killed outright
during the winters. by this method OF
culture they are surviving severe
weather without difficulty and bearing
good yields OF fruit.
