CONTRACT BRIDGE
By W. E. McKenney
Many contracts are defented by nothing more or less than careless- acsa on tho part of the declarer.
Let me again advise you to ana- lyze a hand carefully from all an- gles before playing to the first trick. Try to visualize what wili happen if you make a certain play. Figure out if there is aanle way for you to make your contract.
If you discover that, by playing the hand in one way, you might make one or two extra tricks, but that if your plan falla you wll] Jong your contract, elect to take the safe and sound way that will give you only your contract.
Bridge is a partnership game and at no time have you the right to jeopardize your partner's inter- esta hy playing the hand in a man- ner that may risk a successful con- tract.
There is nothing dieult about the following hand, but still care- lessness would prevent the de- clarer from making a small ainm.

South, the dealer, when the hand was played, opened with one spade,
manner:
I believe that I would prefer to pass with this hand. Let us analyze the band In the following If we bid one apade, partner's most likely response will be two diamonds. We will now be forced to bid two hearts. This is the showing of a second sult, and is in the nature of a force.
Undoubtedly partner will re-bld diamonds and now your contract is beyond the safety zone and you still have a third suit to mention- and every time you mention a new suit, partner has a right to figure that you are making an additional constructive bid.
However, when the hand was played, South did open with one apade. North mado 1 Jump response of three hearts. Not only is this $ demand that the bidding be kept open until a game is reached, but it is also a olam try.
South then bid four hearts. While South has control of two suits-diamonds and apades-he must be careful against duplica- | tion of values. After the four heart bid, North went to five dia- monda. South signed off with a bid of five hearts, but North want to six hearts.
The Play
East's opening lead was the king of spades, which the declarer was forced to win in the dummy with | the ace.
And now you can see his pro- dicament If he allows his op ponents to get in, they will cash a club and a spade,
He led a small heart, winning In his own hand with the queen. If the declarer had attempted to pick up the trump, his contract would have been defeated. Furthermore, he dared not lead his ace, king and queen of diamonds in order to dis- card clubs from dummy.
He had only one chance of mak- ing hin contract and that was to find four diamonds in each hand.
With this one chante, he played a small diamond from his own hand and trumped in dummy with the ten of hearts. He could now lend the Jack of hearts from dummy, win in his own hand with the ace of hearts, and then swing his four round of diamonds, dia- carding dummy's four clubs,
His losing club was then ruffed in dummy with the king of hearts, and all that he had to lose was one spade trick.

CINEMA SCREENINGS.
NOTES SUPPLIED BY THE THEATRES
Simply -razy! Off stage and on! Marx Brothers for a thoroughly in- sana lat, principally through pictures as "Horse Fanthers," their latest starring effort, which comes to the King's Thontre on Thursday, shares that knowledge with the quartette's best friends. The latter know that in privat, the Marx boys ore junt an “batty" as they are on the stage or screen," Many a story about their nad off stage antics is going the routes in a dozen cities in America. The Paramount studio in Hollywood is the least safe place in the film capital when the mad brothers aro making a picture Executives arriv ing at work ono morning, for example, found the name plates from thele doors had been shifted around, and no. one know which office was which. "The Marx Brothors got hore early this morning", they were finally in- formed. And that explained i
"Strange Interlude"
Clark Gable losing the woman he lovea! Incredible, you may say, un- leas you see him with Norma Shearer in "Strange Interludo” at the Queen's Theatre from Sunday. In this Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer production of the famous Eugene O'Neill play, the screen's newest idol learn what it is to desire a woman, without winning her: He han hin moments as Norma Shearer's lover, but they are moments which belong rightfully to another man. "Strange interlude" marien n notable interlude in the career of this man whose imposing screen personali- ty siirs the signs of the gentler k and makes strong men yearn with envy. It in Gahle's venture Into the field of character acting. As Ne Darrell, loctor, he goes through all the transitions of age and character that befall Miss Shearer, Alexander Kirkland, Ralph Morgan, May Robson and other members of the cast. Clark Gable fans will see their Invourite in the most searching test of his talents he has yet fner. Com sidering the popularity of Gable, it is dificult to realize that his rise to the heights has been achieved in auth A brief and meteorie pace. Litle
ht more than a year ago an unknown, nume now is on the tongue of every screen follower, and his roles have fallowed Inat ons. on another. To Gable's further credit it must be anid that success has left him unchanged. He in na modest, unassuming and friendly to-day, say those who know him, as the day when he was taken from a Los Angeles theatre stage and sriven his first role in Ølms. His role in "Strango Interludo" is a stop in his development as a serious artist of the drama. According to Robert Z. Leonard. who directed the current film, Gable brings to bin work ǹn earnestness and enthusiasm that can- not be too highly commended.
"Sky Dovila"
"Sky Devils", the Howard Hughes production which is now showing at the King's Theatre, is cnally the laugh-sensation of the year. More than that, it is the most spectacular producton soon for many months-Its amazing air scenes unmatched since "Hell's Angels". Here is a sure-cure for the hard times blues. No matter how depressed you might be, this alam-bang comedy of the air will lift you to roaring heights. It amuses, it thrills, and at times it moves you with is down-to-earth and light- hearted romance. If over a pictura had everything-this is it. Literally and figuratively, the sky was the limit" when Howard Hughes produced this one.
