VENKEYS'IS
EXCELLENT
REVIVAL

There is an entirely new ros-
ter of names in the cast.
slight retouching of the dia-
logue, a speeding-up of and
modernization Of the fun here
and there-but to us Seven
Keys to Baldpate" is just as
purely and distinctively re-
vival as was TIE distinguished
pertol m ance Of Sherlock
Holmes" which gave Washing
tons old guard of theatergoers
the thrill of their lives last
week.
A revival it is, and a most
welcome one, for Seven Keys
to Baldpate" happens to be
one of the durable, and GER
tainly one of the most ingeni-
Gus farceS written since the
golden days of Charles F. Hoyt
and George AIDE. 1t is a pleas
ure to add that as done at
Keith's this week by that ag-
gressive and progressive adol-
eScent of the film world, the
RK.O organization, it loses
none of the flavor or the SAVIOR
of the original.
One of the solid SatiSfactions
Of the production is that it has
not been adapted" or movie
lied, so far as we are able to
discern. If any ambitious see.
narist or supervisor has tried
to improve upon the play, his
labors have been covertly re-
strained. AS 1t stands, Seven
Keys to Baldpate" is virtually
. carbon copy of the Earl Derr
Biggers play. and thereby re-
tains an atmosphere and an
integrity that is its chief de-
light. Imagine our dissenting
note if some stray wiSecracks
Of 1880 had been jammed by
main force into a 1915 script,
just to let a Hollywood gag
man earn his Rolls Royce!
A skilful, ingratiatingA and
resourceful performance is
turned in by Richard Dix as

locks himself in a summer re-
sort hotel, in the dead of
winter. to gain the complete
solitude necessary for him to
finish $4,000 word novel in
"a hours. How he writes it.
how the narrative as it races
from his typewriter is enacted
in robust and satirical farce
upon the film, is a wheelS-with-
in-wheels type of mystery show
that is always good theater. to
put a conservative valuation
upon it.
Miriam Seegar, Margaret
Livingston, and Cre-'ford Kent
are to be noted in the en-
semble of supporting players.
The production is remarkable
in it's entire absence of pic

upon the stuff of which real
drama has been made, say,
since Elizabethan days. Which
may be another nail in the cof-
fin of the so-called legitimate
playhouse, for these carbon
copies" on the film, when done
by real men of the theater,
come dangerously near to being
as good as the original.
The supplemental features on
on the Keith bill include a Fitz.

a bit which is both substantial
and delightful. A. MI.

Vacation Weather Signs

Fred Peet, National Secretary of
the Izaak Walton League of
America, and we'll known outdoors
man, gives some interesting infor-
nation on how to tell future
weather conditions. He says:
1T is always good plan, on
travelling into new country, to in
quire of the natives regarding the
prevailing weather signs and prob
abilities. For instance, there is
always one wind that commonly
brings rain, another that prevails
only during fair weather and so on.
Every district, too, has it's old
traditional signs, such as, for fair
weather: cobwebs on wet grass,
crimson sunset; swallows flying
high; rainbow at night; heavy dew
in the evening. Bad weather indi-
cations: woodpeckers and blue jays
very noisy; swallows flying low;
sun shining through watery haze,
rainbow in the morning; a halo
round the moon; dark clouds blown
rapidly under lighter ones.
These are only a few of the an
cient rules, many of them being

good enough, at least, to give fair

Last summer while on a fishing
trip in Michigan it started to rain
quite hard. I sat under a lean-to
extending from the porch of a
farmhouse close to the waters I
had been fishing. After several
hours passed and the rain did not
let up, asked the farmer what he
thought of the weather prospect
for the afternoon. He looked up
in the direction of his chicken yard,
then said: 'Ye might jist as well
put that fishin' pole away, Mister
fer it's goin' ter rain all day-when-
ever We see chickens or any other
domestic fowl keep on feedin' when
rain commences to fall it's dollars
to corn cobs that it amt goin' to

He was correct in his prediction
for it not only rained the rest OF
that afternoon but continued in a
slow drizzle all that night. While
a good barometer might be the most
reliable, I cannot help but recognize

down by our grandparents. Nine
