THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPIL

CONTRACT BRIDGE

By W. E. McKenney

Móny contracts are defeated by nothing more or less than careless- nead on the part of the declaror..

Let me again advise you to anu, fyze a hand carefully from all an gles before playing to the first trick. Try to visualize what will happen if you make a certain play. Figure out if there is a safe way for you to make your contract.

If you dincover that, by playing the hand in one way, you might make one or two extra tricks, but that if your plan fails you will lose your contract, elect to take the safe and sound way that will give you only your contract.

Bridge in a partnership game and at no time have you the right to jeopardize your partner's inter- cata by playing the hand in a man- ner that may risk a auccessful con- tract.

There is nothing difficult about the following hand, but still care- lessness would prevent the de- clarer from making a small alam.

The Bidding

South, the dealer, when the hand was played, opened with one spade.

I believe that I would prefer to pass with this hand, Let us analyze the hand in the following manner: If we bid one spade, 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 suit, and is in the nature of a force.

Undoubtedly partner will re-bid 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 Ault, partner has a right to figure that you are making an additional constructive bid.

a

However, when the hand was played. South did open with one spade. North made

jump response of three hearts. Not only is this a demand that the bidding be kept open until a game is reached, but it is also a alam try.

South then bid four hearts. While South has control of two Bults-diamonds and apudce-he must be careful against duplica- tion of values. After the four heart bid, North went to five dia- monds. Soulh signed off with a bid of five hearts, but North went 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 ac

And now you can see his pre- 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 bad attempted to pick up the trump, his contract would have been defeated. Furthermore, he dared not lead his acc, king and queen of diumonds in order to dis- card clubs from dummy.

He had only one chance of mak- ing his contract and that was to find four diamonds in each hand.

With this one chance, he played a small diamond from his own hand and trumped in dummy with the ten of hearts. He could now lead the jack of hearts from dummy, wiri in his own hand with the ace of hearts, and then swing his four round of diamonds, di- carding dummy's four cluba.

Ilia losing club was then rifled in dummy with the king of hurts, and all that he had to lose was one spade trick.

"Strange Interlude" Clark Gable losing the

In this Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer production of the famous Eugene O'Nei't play, the kereen's newest idol learns what it is to desire a woman without winning her. He has his moments as Norma Shearer's lover, but they are moments which belong rightfully to another man, "Strange Intorludo" marks a notable interlude in the career of this man whose imposing screen personall- ty atire the signs of the gentler ex and makes girang men yearn with envy. It a Gable's venture into the field of character acting. An Ned Darrell, a doctor, he goes through all the transitions of age and character that befall Mins Shearor, Alexander Kirkland, Ralph Morgan, May Robson and other members of the enat. Clark Gable fans will

see their favourite in the most searching test of his talents he has vet faerd Con aldering the popularity of Gable, it is difficult to realize that his rise to the heights has been achieved in such a belef and meteoric pace. Little more than a year ago an unknown, hiş name now is on the tonguo of every Hernen follower, and his roles have followed fast one another. To Gable's further credit it must be said that succes has left him unchanged. fle is as 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 given his first role in Blms. His tole in "Strange Interlude" is a step in his development as a serious artist of the drama. According to Robert Z. Leonard, who directed the current film, Gable brings to his work earnestness and enthusiasm that can- not be too highly commended,
