 Earl Derr Biggers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many of his plays and novels were made into movies.
His novel Seven Keys to Baldpate led to seven films of the same title (each largely forgotten) and at least two with other titles but essentially equivalent plots.
George M. Cohan (better known as a songwriter, and vaudeville and Broadway song-and-dance man) adapted the novel as a stage play, which undergoes occasional revivals as of the decade of the 2000s, and the film version he later screenwrote (released in 1935) is perhaps the least forgotten of the seven films.
