"Oh. For A Man!" Some day
day Warren Hymor hopes to play a real gentleman in some pic- ture. In "Oh, For A Man!" Fox movietone comedy at the Oriental Theatre, Hymer plays the role of "Pug Morini," known to fistle fame as The Walloping Wop." In his prior success, "Up the liver," he wan "Dannemora Dan," a convict.

5. Doubtful slams will not be bid due to the fact that the full strength of the hand can be shown before the bidding gets too high. A jump shift bid may even be made on the second round and still not force the contruct into the slam
It quite naturally follows that if partner has no support for the suit named by the original bidder and the original bidder has no support for the sult named by partner, fzone. either they should play the hand However, I want to warn the be- in the second sult which will beginner at contract bridge not to named by one or the other, or if their side strength is in different suits, the proper declaration is no trump,
4. As the one ever one forcing bid can be used with power-house hands as safely as with minimum handa, due to the fact that the original bidder is forced to keep the bidding open, it is a tremendous weapon against the opponents.
Under the ordinary system of contract bidding, the original bid- der, we will say, opens with one club. If partner overcalled with one heurt, he would be announcing weak band-une not strong enough to jump to two hearts. But when the one over one forcing bid is used, a bid of one heart over one club might signify a minimum opposité a minimum, or it might mean two power-house hands.
The left hand opponent of the player who has made the one over one forcing bid is afraid to step in with n fair hand for fear that he will be between these two power- house hands. It is not until the second, round of bidding that he knows whether or not the handa ure mimumum, and it la gen- erally too late for him to bid ns his partner will naturally take hia

Jump to the conclusion that there is a game in the band simply be- cause partner has made a one oyer one forcing bld. This forcing bid simply asks the original bidder to detailed information give more
