Baldpate Inn
In order to secure the soli-
tude which he needs for his
work, Doug, selects Baldpate
Inn, a summer hotel that has
not yet opened. Unfortunately
for his solitude, a band of
crooks who have stolen two
hundred thou sand dollars,
choose the same spot as their
rendezvous. A crazy old her-
mit of the neighborhood be-
comes involved in the chase for
the money. In the midst of the
struggle, which brings all writ-
ing to a complete halt, the girl
Doug, is engaged to arrives to
help him but her presence on-
ly adds. to the multitude of
complications into which he is
plunged.
As the struggle for the pos-
session of the money between
the crooks becomes fiercer, the
author becomes more impatient
of the interruptions. He be-
lieves that the entire fight has
been staged-managed by his ri-
val in order to prevent him
wrting the book—and winning
the girl. He is only convinced
of the genuine danger when
bullets start coming uncom-
fortably close and he finds him-
self in possession of the money
and the center of the blood-
thirsty battle.
Melodramatic Farce
George M. Cohan, who adapt-
ed' Earl Derr Biggers’ best sel-
ler to the stage, developed a
melodramatic farce that alter-
nately thrilled and convulsed
his audiences. In bringing
“Seven Keps to BaldPate” to
the screen, Douglas MacLean
has retained all of the original
elements and added to them
the developments which the
motion picture camera makes
possible.

cast supports the stellar come-

cisco head the group which in-
cludes Craufurd Kent, Wade

Edwin Sturgis, Fred Welsey
and Maym Kelso. Fred New-
meyer, who made Harold
Lloyd’s laugh-successes “Grand-
ma’s Boy,” “A Salor Made Man”
and “Safety Last,” directed.
The story was adapted to the
screen by Frank Griffin and
Wade Boteler.
It is with sincere regret that
the Enterprise editor learns of
the premature demise of Mrs.
Henry Meyer, nee Fehrenkamp,
of near Frelsburg, who died last
Thursday at the family resi-
dence in the' prime of life.
Funeral took place with ser-

novelists agree that the writing

The road to satisfaction is straight and smooth. It is
a paved highway with no detours, and on it are many stops
