The Sentinel Play,
'The Sixth Key/'
Friday Night
It has been many years since such
an absorbing, thrilling, chilling
mystery play as ‘‘The Sixth Key”
has been written. As a rule, most
mystery plays depend upon slam
ming doors, and ‘‘moans and
groans” for their thrills. But“The
Sixth Key” depends upon its great
story, the mystifying situations
and the unusual chaarcters to thrill
its audiences. From the rise of the
curtain on the first act until the
fall of the final curtain, the audi
ence is held spellbound as this un
usual plot is unfolded before them.
An odd safe built in an old man
sion. Six keyholes around the door
of the safe. Five of the keys are
present and accounted.for. Where
is the sixth key? Who posseses
it? The safe cannot be opened
without the sixth key. The safe
presumabily contains some precious
old statuettes stolen in the Orient
many years before. Ah, that ac
counts for the presence of the mys-
of brick finish. - terious Chinaman in the house.
