Seven Keys to Baldpate (novel)

First edition, Bobbs-Merrill & Co., 1913

Seven Keys to Baldpate is a 1913 novel by Earl Derr Biggers. A bestseller, it was adapted by George M. Cohan into a play, which in turn was adapted several times for film, radio and TV.[1][2][3]

The plot of the novel differs from the play in many respects.[4]

The setting was based on the real Baldpate Mountain.[5] An American hotel inspired by that name, The Baldpate Inn, opened in 1918.
