BRIDGE NOTES

Minimum Bidding.

by Ely Culbertaon.

res-

There has developed recently in the world of Bridge a school of! players who pride themselves that they always make minimum ponses. Partners of such players must be well-nigh paychic to de-) termine whether the two-spade bid in the following example

is a sign-off or is showing a strong hand. If the guess is correct, no harm may be done, but, after all, the principles of correct bidding require that you subject your part- ner to as few guesses as possible and do not expect him to make any bid that you yourself should make.

A recent team-of-four match in New York City gives point to this story of minimum bidding.

A crisa in Arabian affaire that is endangering the interests of Britishers and other foreigners, is expected to bring Col. T. E. Lawrence, one-time "uncrowned ruler of Arabia," out of his obscure role as an enlisted man in British Air Forse, and send him back to the desert as peacemaker. Saud, King of Saudi, precipitated the crisis by using planes, machine guns and other modern imple- ments of war to overcome the Imam of Yemen and capture his territory, including the important city of Hodeida.

"THE MARCUS SHOWTM

QUEEN'S THEATRE

The Marcus Show is filled with a galaxy of beautiful girls, come- dies, songa, dances, acrobatics, and skits that are punctuated with rhythm. The girls are livelier and lovelier

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
