Seven Keys to Baldpate" is an
old old story. Originally written by
Earl Derr Biggers as a novel, and
translated into drama by George

Shirley has collection of dolls
worth S25 ,000-yet all Al of the

at auction. She has proved their
value by insuring them for that
amount with Lloyd's of London.
Obviously, it was sentiment, not
intrinsic value that prompted the
film star to insure them, as each
doll is a memento of some famous
screen luminary Each doll was a
present to the little fame-haired
youngster when she was known as
Dawn O'Day and played supporting
roles with nearly every star of the
period. She had more than 100, but
