BRIDGE NOTES
A Trump Safety Play
by Ely Culbertann..
One of the things that gives to Bridge its universal appeal is the fact that even expert players may In their analysis of go wrong methods of play There are many fine Bridge players who are only superficial analysis. These players fall to go to the root of things. They decide that because a cer- tain course would work in a given situation such a course should be followed in other situations which are almost, but not quite, like it..
In a recent team-of-four match lin New York City, in which I was CO., LTD, lone af, the players, the hand below Kowloon Bay was dealt, which presented a very Call Flas "L" Kelvin Motora,pretty problem in trump manage- ment.

"THE MARCUS SHOW”— QUEEN'S THEATRE
The Marcus Show is filled with a galaxy of beautiful gizle, come- dies, songs, dances, acrobatics, and akits that are, punctuated with rhythm. The girls are livelier and lovelier than any other touring troupe seen in the Colony before, and, it is one of the cleverest, most expensive and most beautiful revues ever brought to the Far East.
Much credit is due to Charles Hugo, the managing director and Leon Miller, the dance . director and production manager.
Miller is not only dance director and production, manager but 1 first-class comedian. There sre so many stars in this production that it is difficult to select any in- {dividual other than Miller for an
outstanding performance.
The Marcus Show is daring and sophisticated without being vul-
gar.
