Author Of PRACTICAL AUCTION BRIDGE


1t is an interesting angle OF the game
Of Auction Bridge that although the in
formatory double is now an old story in
this country, it IS just being recognized
and playedi in England. For many years
the English players refused even to con
slider its adoption and all sorts OF OBJ
~;ections were raised to il, but now these
directors seem to have become con
verted and the infcrmatory double has
obtained an enthusiastic and wide
spread popularity. Naturally, many
quections have arisen as to its applica-
tion and as some Of these are very much
to the point. the following are submitted
for the confederation Of cur readers. An

Meanwhile there were indications

CLARA BOW To BE
SEEN AT THE APOLLO

The stellar attraction at the
Apollo for the week starting tomor-
row will be Clara Bow in Hula"
her latestrand said to be her best
starring vehicle.
Laid in the Hawaiian Islands,
against a background of beauty and
strange mixture of high, but fast
living" society life in which an
American girl is growing up, the tale
is one of thousand enjoyable kinks.
Clara Bow appears as Hula" a
child who loves the out of doors
rather than the set which sur
rounds her devoted but somewhat
dissolute father.
She has been brought up by an
uncle, whose ideas on life differ from
those of "Old Bill" Calhoun, Clara S
parent. Hula" clings to her uncle
until Anthony Haldane, an English
engineer, played by Give Brock,
enters the scene. How Hula" runs
the gamut of trouble and complica-
tions in obtaining her true love
makes the basis for splendid
screen story.
Supporting Miss Bow are Arlette
Marchal, Arnold Kent, Albert Gran
and Agostino Borgato.

This opens a mystery which deep

crosses, reaching to England and
there involving three of the main
characters, the Brothers Geste,
Michael Beau" Digby and John.
Director Herbert Brenon and
1000 men in addition to the prin-

months on the Great American des-
ert, thirty miles from any hibita-

scenes, and more than three months
were spent in the studio making
the interiors.
A cast of stellar players was
chosen by Brenon to support Ronald

Ralph Forbes is John, and Alice
Joyce is seen in the role of Lady
Brandon, the aunt of the three boys
and the owner of the famous sap
phire which is at the bottom OF the
mystery which begins the story.

TODAY AT THE CIRCLE

Herbert Brennon's production OF
Beau Geste,p" the screen version of
Percival Wren's widely-read novel,
comes to the Circle Theater today,
with Ronald Colman featured in the
title role. The magnificent broad
sweep of this powerful drama of
the French Foreign Legion has
never before been surpassed, nor
has there ever been a finer theme
than the devotion of three brothers
and their unf1inching sacrifice for
each other.
The story opens with the show
ing of a detachment of the Foreign
Legion on its way across the At

has been attacked by Arabs. Ar
