Description by OLDIES.com:
Unquestionably one of the most beloved and renowned entertainers in American culture, George M. Cohan (1878-1942) was a prolific actor, producer and composer, with over 500 songs to his credit (including such patriotic favorites as "You're a Grand Old Flag," "Over There" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy"). In 1913, his stage adaptation of Seven Keys to Baldpate became a Broadway hit and led to this early film version, in which he made one of his few screen appearances. His life was immortalized by James Cagney in the Oscar-winning musical Yankee Doodle Dandy, which was released the year he died.
Seven Keys to Baldpate has been remade several times over this years, including three different versions released by RKO (1929, '35 and '47) and as the all-star House of the Long Shadows in 1983, but often with the emphasis more on mystery and suspense than comedy. Cohan's co-stars include silent-era bombshell Anna Q. Nilsson and Hedda Hopper (billed under her real name, Elda Furry), who subsequently became one of Tinseltown's most popular - and most feared - gossip columnists. In 1950, two would be reunited, playing themselves in Billy Wilder's 1950 classic Sunset Boulevard.
