'BaIdpate' For
RKO Tuesday

Seven Keys to Baldpate" is to
open tomorrow at RKO Keith'S.
This is in line with the Keith
policy of special openings and
takes on particular significance
from several angles. 1t is the first
picture under Gene Raymond'S S
new contract with Radio Pictures.
It has Margaret Callahan playing
the chief feminine interest role.
It is the fourth time the story has
reached the screen, and the Sec
ond time at RKO Keith'S it hav-
ing been shown at the Fifteenth
Street Theater almost five years
ago to the week, with Richard Dix
in the role now played by Gene
Raymond.
Seven Keys to Baldpate" has
had an interesting and profitable
career" both on the stage and
screen. Written by Earl Derr Big
gers it first was dramatized by
George M. Cohan and with Cohan
in the leading role was a great
stage success. It set the new style
of mystery stories reversing the
previous methods utilized with
such tales. In the silent days of
the screen it was given two pro
ductionS.
In giving it special opening
tomorrow the Keith management
is anticipating the picture to re-
peat it's former success. The cast
in addition to Gene Raymond and
Margaret Callahan, newcomer of
whom much has been heard late
ly, the cast includes Eric Blore,
Grant Mitchell, Emma Dunn and
Moroni Olsen.

When Barbara La Mari, that
most beautiful and lamented Of
actresses, used to sling party, in
the middle of it she would sneak
out onto the back porch Of her
pink Whitley Heights palace and
throw out the master light switch.
Then in she would romp, lament
ing and moaning that the fuses
had blown, and pretend to call
up the light company. When she
thought her guests had swallowed
this story, back she would go and
throw it in again, and take a
good peek. Those were the good
olo days!
Lon CLANCY not only risked his
life in some of his grotesque film
makeupS, he even damaged it Sc
verely for life. In the hunchback
of Notre Dame, he wore a film
over one of his eyes to make him
seem half blind, and so painful
was it that it definitely and
permanently injured his sight,
and all but destroyed it.
To go back decades, when the
divine Sarah Bernhardt filmed
Queen Elizabeth as the first full
length feature film for Jesse
Lasky, in her death scene, instead
of doing a little judicious cutting,
she went through the whole death
scene, word for word as she did
it on the stage. Snce the speech
took a mere jolly little matter OF
20 minutes to recite. La Bern
hardt was dying for a long, long
time indeed, and tipped over about
half an inch to the reel through
out most of the picture.
Look around you. They were
only mists of time. We're back in

is thinking seriously of quitting
the Hollywoods for the time being
to spend Christmas in New York
with Mary Pickford. Her separa-

that Hollywood hostesSes didn't

of them to the same party or no

the very near future her daughter

There's no holding Mabel Stark,

caused her to be the recipient OF
some lis stitches. She said then
that there was another tiger in

because it would break up the act
for a couple of years. Well, it

many vaudeville acts of eStab-
lished reputation fail here be-
cause Of choice of material. Our
Friday censorship bars fan
dancers, red ties and "panSy"
references, nudity and offensive
smut. A good many entertainers
find the restrictions hinder their

Fox have discovered that it pays
to keep the shows as reasonably
clean as possible.
The world is changing and so

standards of good taste and cul-

q problem in the theater since
great grandpa's day, yes, before
that. For instance:
THE GOOD OLD DAYS
"The Black Crook" back in
the SO's was the first musical
that dared to put girls in tights

a murmur today. Back in the
early 19O0's it had the nation by

Hammerstein's Victoria Music

Girl in Blue" for one Monday
matinee performance. First COM

FIRST PROFANITY
The exciting and limit in dar-
o ing burlesque act from 1905 to
about 1915, was provided by
Charmion, whose feat was to
climb up on a trapese and pro-
ceed to disrobe. But Charmion
never went any further than
tights, her closing thrills tossing
her stockings to front row
patrons. Minsky's and Jimmy
Lakes crowd would call this
tame stuff today.
Then, as you perhaps recall,
after the Armistice, came What

of profanity and start the play
