NOTES SUPPLIED BY 'THE THEATRES.
Criticinn has occasionally been levelled at the lack of distinction in the dresses worn In Britiul Alinsa, There will be no reason to cavil in | thin regard at "Wedding Rehearsal", which has been described as one of the best-dressed film,s made in A British studio. The Invellest frocks for every hour of the day are worn in the picture, and no effort was spured to get exclusive designa from the leading fashion houses. Among the creations that will delight the henri af every woman who sees the produc- tion are twelve specially designed bridesmaid'a ensembles, exquisite dresses, lovely evening frocks and perfectly fitting riding habits.
Some of the prettiest frocks are worn by Wendy Bitrrie and John Gard- ner, who play the "Roxbury Twins." These are two vf the four young actresnes signed up on a long-term contract for London Film Productions by Alexander Korda, the producer. They are making their debut in "Wedding Rehearsal". Owing to the fact that they are "twins" for the purpose of the film, they drena olike | in every respect, and affect an klènti- cal style in hair-dressing and des accessories. Some striking creations were specially designed for Lady Tree and Kate Cutler, wl play Ini- portant parts in the picture. Un- usual attention was also paid to the dressing of the crowd artistes, result- ing In an impeccable fashion · back- ground for This Blings English production.
"Wedding Rehearsal" is released 1g Heat Films Ltd. Make 1 point of seeing this must enjoyable of comed- ion,
"Wedding Rehearsal' is now show- ing at the King's Theatre.

But
temperamental she is not, no- cording to Harry Beaumont who directed Faithless," Beaumont says she is delightfully amenable to direction and tireless in her efforts. Adrian, who designs the gowns for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer stars, marvel- ed at her willingness to go hungry nconday after noonday for fittings al though she hates to bother about clothes.
Portraits, interviews, wardrobe Attings and endless rehearsals are things she had contend with besides the actual work of playing before the

She cannot sit still a minute or relax. She has a habit of running to a mirror to comb her hair-not through necessity but nervousness:
"The Front Page"
The m. rights to the outstanding Broadway stage success "The Front Page", which comes to the King's Theatre on Sunday next were bought for a huge aum. The film was pro- duced by one of the most colourful producers the industy has even had. the man who, in aplie of his limited experience, has never had a failure, Howard Hughes.
The successful producer secured the director of the past outstanding year, Lewis Milestone, who made the picture unanimously selected an "tho" pleture of 1030 All Quite on the Western Front".
t
Though there ho star part "The Front Page", Adolphe Menjou, star of many films was engaged in one of the principal roles: Pat O'Brien, this year's find from the stage, for another, while others in eluile the comedy stars, Edwards Everett Horton, and Slim Summer- ville; as well as Mary Brian, Walter Catlett, Matt Moore, and other brilliant pinyers.
"Nagana"
Can true love come to a woman who has gone through life breaking many men's hearts, serene in her ability to love and to "forget" when she han tired of each new lover? History proves that to such D woman, sophisticated, blase and apparently heartless, the "grand passion" bringa an absolutely devastating experience and the tremendous depth of her feeling brings about completa change in her entire outlook. Her steely exterior drops from her, and she becomes the abject slave of "her man", ready, if need be, to follow him
to the ends of the earth.
Such a altuation forms a part of the story of "Nagane", the thrilling Universal drama which opened to-day at the Central Theatre, with Tala Birell, exotic Viennese beauty, in the principal female role. Notorious for the multiplicity of her lovers, she finally falls genuinely in love with Melvyn Douglas in his role of Dr. Radner, head of an organization engaged in Aghting the savages of Jungle diseases in Africa, and follows him to a plague infested native village, in spite of the fact that he has repulsed her advances. Braving tho attacks of wild, beasts, she finally arrives in Nagoru, and bere begins a strange existence amid the savage tribes of the Afrlean interior. A fire brings about a veritable stampede of wild animals, and the picture reaches Its climax in scenes of the wildest directed confusion. "Nagana" Was

Just because It is possible to make a slam on a hand does not necessarily mean that the alanı should be bid. We often And n hand containing several winning finessex and a lot of good breaks with which a slam is made.
Take, for example, the following hand, which is selected from a tournament recently held In New) York. Severni players made the slam-some it spudes, some at hearts, while one player was lucky enough to make a grand slam at no trump due to a spade opening. However, net one pair bld for a alam. 1
The Bidding
At the majority of tables South | bid one heart, West passed, and North made a one over one fore- ing bid of one spade,
South showed his second sait-- diamonds. This makes the third constructive bid which now forces North to re-bld. While North hnd a one over one force, he has noth- ing but length in spades, therefore his proper response is a sign-of hid of two spades.
South is now in a peculiar pori- tion-if he jumps to four hearts,

North is very apt to pass the hand. He cannot re-bid the four card día. mond suit,

One South player responded with three no trump and North, with the ace of the unbid suit. passed. West then made bad opening of the jack of spades. so the declarer won six spade tricks, five heart tricks, the nee of clubs| and the ace of diamonds for a grand slam.
At another table South respond- ed with three clubs showing the third suit, thereby forcing North to bid again. However, North was not interested and again Pigned off by bidding three spades, and South went to four spades.
However, top score on the bourd went to the pair who played the hand at four hearts and scared the 100 honours.
The Play
A club was opened and was won In dummy with the ace. The gine of hearts was then led, and when East refused to cover, the eight was played by declarer. Another small heart was led and the ten finessed. The acc picked up East's king.
Deginrer next played his ace of spades and followed it with મ small apade which Eust won with the king. When the diamond was returned, the declarer refused to take the finesse, hat went right up with his ace. He led it anall apade which he won in dummy with the ten, and then discarded his three diamonds on dummy': three good spades.
Remember that you will win a great deal more in a year's tim by bidding for game and making a alam than you will by bidding doubtful slams which fall than 50 per cent of the time.
