The program designation, the mystery farce," as applied to George_ M. Cohan's marvelous play, "Seven Keys to Baldpate," isn't very comprehensive. It would hardly prepare the occasional, or for that matter the regular, theater goer for the bewildering series of things that happened, the sequence of surprises the record audience at the Grand last night was treated to. "Seven Keys" is, among other things, a capital burlesque on every melodrama, crime play or emotional drama from "East Lynne" down to the Theodore Kremer and Hal Reed output, including N. S. Wood's entire repertoire, "Billy the Kid," "The Man of the Hour,' "Whv Women Sin" and some of the •high* class, crook plays of the period. Mr. Cohan hasn't overlooked many of

the familiar types. There's the adventuress, the crooked politicians, big and little, their tools, the sneaking villian, the comic grouch and the hero who holds a regiment at bay with a toy revolver.
And the great strength of Mr. Cohan's play, that which makes "Seven Keys to Baldpate" a classic, lies in the fact that, after frankly taking his audience into his confidence, he gets the folks out front all worked up over his big scenes, his melodramatic climaxes. You are applauding a fine bit of acting of serious import one moment and the next laughing uproariously over a line or a situation that dovetails beautifully into a story that is never lost sight of. G. Bernard Shaw is continually trying to do what Mr. Cohan has accomplished in "Seven Keys."
Mr. Cohan's mystery farce, which is just as good as any other name for it, is unlike any other play I have ever seen, an adaptation of Earl leir Bigger's story, thoroughly Cohanized, however. The plot concerns the effort of one Magee, a writer of blood-curdling fiction, to win a wager of $5,000 by writing a novel of 10,000 words in 24 hours. The loneliest spot available is found for the effort. It is Baldpate Inn. And there really is a Baldpate Inn* Alice Fischer once told me she stopped at such a place. It is located near Gloucester.
When the play opens Magee is seen arriving at the inn, situated on the top of a mountain, in a snow storm, and is received by the caretaker, who prepares the place for him,-and departs after giving Magee the key to the front door, the only key, he says, to the hotel. But events prove there are six other keys, as Magee finds, when he is interrupted by a most unusual series of incidents.
One by one the holders of the other keys arrive, most of them concerned in an effort to do things with $200,000. There is a hermit ghost, a woman newspaper reporter, a bunch of crooked politicians and melodrama with a vengeance is dealt out. Murder and everything else that goes with melodrama whisked through the amazing series of happenings in that lonely inn on a stormy night. the most uproariously funny scene of all, though it is full of thrills at that, is where the hero, Magee, has all, the villians seated and awaiting a telephone call. There is a curtain and when the next act opens we find the villians sitting sleepily waiting for the call. "Let's start a little conversation" suggests the hero.
Then the villians and higher-ups turn on each other and lambast scandalously. When one of the sub-villians tries to square himself with the adventuress, she snaps In disgust, "Oh, go to hell!"
That line was good for a three minute laugh long enough to boil eggs to suit anv taste.
The $200,000 is lost, but it turns up, and a chief of police who makes his way to the inn takes charge of the money. Everybody claims it. But the chief calls up his wife an1 tells her to get the children and go to Montreal, that he will Join her there. "Seven Keys to Baldpate" Is magnificently acted. Cyril Scott, the novelist, has the center of the stage most of the time. This fine actor has been coming to Terre Haute occasionally for a great many years, first I believe with Richard Mansfield In "Beau Brummel" or "Prince Carl," and in recent years as the star in "The Prince Chap."
Jean Shelby as the adventuress, Frank Monroe as the crooked mayor, Spencer Charters as the hermit, Lee Sterritt as the police chief, all scored heavily. Indeed, every type was admirably portrayed.
The audience was splendidly demonstrated. It marked a two years' record for box office receipts. For the first time in the history of the Grand the orchestra was removed from the pit to make room for cash customers. The musicians were placed in the foyer. On the occasion of the first appearance of Pavlowa and Mordkin under Anne F. Hayman'e direction chairs were placed in the aisles, but the big orchestra carried by the company occupied the pit.

land, too—right alongside the big holidays and festivals of the year. The highly colored posters on the billboard, announcing these minstrels, causes the same rejoicing among the kiddles, big and little, as that created by the approach of an official "big tirr.e" day. In fact, such a permanent institution for fun has the A1 G. Field minstrels become with these patrons that the brilliant colors of the posters are superfluous. Just the name and date, with the word "Coming," is sufficient.
Mr. Field and his band of entertainers are with us today and it looks like the same old big business at the Grand. Manager Smith, by the way, told Mr. Field he could have his old date, Thanksgiving day, back next year. The advance sale for the minstrels was peculiarly gratifying, following the packed houses of Monday and Tuesday.
"The Blue Bird," most conspicuous success of the New theater, New Tork, and noted world-drama spectacle, will be seen v. ith the original production at the Grand Friday, Saturday matinee and night. Almost everybody knows something about "The Blue Bird" story and the spectacular hunt for happiness of its childish hero and heroine. Little folks are curious to see brave Tyltyl and shy Mytyl and all the wonders of pantomime drama that have been promised, while the adult theater-go-ers are looking forward to the delightful poetry, human Interest and symbolism of Maurice Maeterlinck's fairyland fantasy. The author of "The Blue Bird" has been nicknamed the Belgian Shakespeare. The fame of

play has
traveled wherever the white race has penetrated. In London it has replaced the old-fashioned clownish pantomime, and ir. New Tork the New theater production, which will be seen hare, ran lor more than a year to crowded audiences.
Robert E. O'Connor and company in the Homer Miles sketch, "The StlckUp Man," will present the headline feature, of the week-end bill at the Varieties, opening Thursday afternoon. Lebouatl, ragtime xylop'nonist Fink's mules, Madison and Laird in nonsensical tomfoolery, and Smiletta brothers and Mora contribute the other features.
It will be back to the films for one day only at the Grand Thursday. In conjunction with the twenty-first episode in "The Million Dollar Mystery" there will be a Lubin war drama. "Stonewall Jacksor.'s Way." This is a '.hree-reel film. In the cast are James Farrell, Edgar Jones, Louise Huff, James Daly and Gilbert Ely. "Stonewall Jackson's Way" ic peopled with soldiers, and they are shown in action.
The two-reel Keystone, "The Sea Nymphs," which will be shown at the Orpheum Thursday, will introduce "Fatty" Arbuckle and Mabel Normand
How to Shed a Rough, Chapped or Blotchy Skin
This is what you should do to shed a bad complexion: Spread evenly over the face, covering every inch of skin, a thin layer of ordinary mercolized wax. Let this stay on over night, washing it off next morning. Repeat dally until your complexion is as clear, soft and beautiful as a young girl's. This result is Inevitable, no matter how soiled or withered the complexion. The wax literally absorbs the filmy surface skin, exposing the lovely young skin beneath.. The process is entirely harmless, so little of the old skin coming off at a time. Mercolized wax is obtainable at any drug store one ounce usually suffices. It's a veritable wonderworker for rough, chapped, reddened, blotchy, pimpled, freckled or sallow skin.
Pure powdered saxolite is excellent for a wrinkled skin. An ounce of it dissolved in a half-pint witch hazel makes a refreshing wash-lotion. This renders the skin quite firm and smooth indeed, the very first application erases the finer lines tho deeper ones soon follow.
