“Hell’s Bells,” the first cut on thealbum, is sheer banal goo based on onetrite riff.

There are occasional moments in themusic when Stewart’s synthesizer easesthe overall hectic pace.

7 KeysByP.J. PLATZDaily Collegian Staff Writer
“You might as well be patient; it’sgonna be a long wait.” Boy oh boy, ifthatain’t the truth.
“SevenKeys to Bald Pate,” the fourthproduction of the season presented bythe State College Community Theater,opened Wednesday night at the BoalBarnPlayhouse.
“Seven Keys” was written by GeorgeM. Cohan in 1913. Its obvious flaw is thatit is dated, but director Joseph Nierlehas perked it up considerably by up-dating it to the mid-19305. This hasallowed him to recreate a world of thugs,hussies and gangster politicians. It is anice idea, and works very well.
Magee has made a bet with a friendwho owns Bald Pate Inn, a New Englandsummer resort, that he can writea novelin 24 hours. The friend gives him akey tothe inn, because it is the dead of winterand Magee may find there the solitudehe needs to write. It is the only key inexistence, Magee is told.
However, he finds out soon enough
Concert setFred Waring and his singing Young
Pennsylvanians will perform at theUniversity tomorrow evening, as thefinal presentation of NittanyMountain Summer’s Spectrumseries.
Waring, a graduate of theUniversity, has performed severaltimes at the University in the past.
The concert, which is sold out, willbeginat 8 p.m. in Eisenhower.
' Of thugs, hussies andthat there is more than one key. In fact,there are seven. One by one morecharacters appear, all of them claimingto be the possessor of the onlykey.
The play took forever to get rolling.The caretakers, Mr. and Mrs. Quimby.(Geoffrey and Pat Wilson) had poten-tially funny lines, most of which werelost either through mumbling, thickBritish accents (however authentic) andslow stage business. It was more thanobvious that the audience was more thanbored.
Unfortunately, the suffering went oneven after the entrance of Magee,playedby Bruce Cleveland. The pace of thedialogue slackened greatly as the actorsfished for their lines. Cues were nevertaken from one another. The actors weresimply saying lines; there was no in-teraction between them.
Thank goodness for Joe Seefeldt. Asgangster John Bland, he burst upon thescene with enough energy to spare to atleast help pick up the dragging pace.Then again, it wasn’t a one-man job.
Enter Megan Ness as reporter MaryNorton, and Elaine deJoy as Mrs.Rhodes, her chaperone. Ness, asdisturbingly pretty as Brooke Shields,picked up where Seefeldt left off, and theplay finally found its legs.
Others deserving merit above andbeyond the call of duty are Mark Dykesas the chicken-livered mobster LouMax; JeffSilverman as Jiggs Kennedy,a bumbling Sherlock Holmes of adetective whose extremely effectivecharacter came across well through hisvery funny lines; and (best of all) JeanBoyd as the gum-cracking leggy MyraThornhill. Despite her high-pitchedBrooklynese, Boyd spoke clearly andwithout strain, an indication of good
