GEORGE Nj. CONAN IN
"SEVEN KEYS TO BALL PATE

George Washington Magee, a nov
elist, makes a wager with the owner
of Baldpate Inn that he can write a
story in twenty-four hours. Seeking
seclusion, Magee borrows the key to
Baldpate, a summer hotel now locked
up for the winter, and with his type
writer retires to an upper room of
story. There enters the hotel office
one John Bland, an employee of a
railway magnate, who places
100000 in the hotel safe-a bride to
be called for later by the Mayor of
Reuton. Magee surprises Bland,
who draws a pistol, but a moment
later the novelist tricks him and locks
him in a room. Forthwith, however,
Magee is confronted by a third in
truder, Mary Norton, a newspaper re-
porter on the trail of the bribery af-
fair. Magee falls in love with Mary
and complications crowd still more
closely upon one another's heels. In
all, seven persons, including Peter.
strange old hermit, come to lonely.
Baldpate that night. As expressed
by the author, the hotel seems to have
as many keys as piano. All the
KEYS are in the hands of particularly
interesting people who come on mys-
terious missions, even murder, giving
the novelist, as we'll as the audience,
all the excitement they could posi-
bly ask for. This is as much of the
story of "Seven Keys to Baldpate" as
would be fair to reveal. There is a
unique solution to the problem,
worked out in George NJ. Cohan's
highly dramatic and original manner,
presenting in all a particularly enter
tanning film, as the attraction of the
Isis theatre, Wednesday and Thurs
day.

accomplish this, however, the minister
surprises her by calling on her at her
home and asking he's. to attend his

upon his church as direct competition
to her dance hall and saloon, but the
minister so gains her admiration by
his proposition to spend an hour every
day behind her bar if she will attend
his house of worship for the same
period that she accepts.
Despite his limited knowledge of
the inner workings of a saloon. the
minister makes good with a ven
eeance, while the novelty of a "Sky
Pilot" wearing bar apron does a
record business for the female owner.
While the minister is serving drinks
right and left, "Nosepaint," one of the
characters who frequent the place,
seeks to stump the new bartender by
ordering a "Speed Ball. Not to be
outwitted, the Sky Pilot promptly
proceeds to mix the drink, using a
liberal potation from every bottle in
SlSnI, TO the great amusement OF the
crowd and the complete modification
of the man who ordered the beverage.
With the crowd thus put in good hu-
NOR, the minister invites them over
to his church across the way, gain
ing the first victory of his seemingly
impossible mission.
The piece was directed by Reginald
! Barker from the story by Monte Kat
| terjohn, and the unusually capable
cast includes Jack Gilbert, Gertrude
Claire, Mildred Harris, Jack Richard
son, William Conklin and j. P. Lock-
ney.

hint by drawing about her beauties the
first sleepy wells Of haze; by carpeting the
woods with thick beds Of leaves for her
forest children; by setting her squirrels
at nut conservation, and gathering her
birds for noisy conferences before their
southern journey Mother Nature wants
her annual nap, so she yawns and
drowses before her summer guests with
her frank suggestions that it is time for
them TO go home.

draw the shades. trim the lamp to a warm

How good it is to be at home-at home

tables, lamp and fire, familiar posses

are to US the symbol of the labor spent
