suit or singleton. The conclusion is,
therefore, that Z has exactly two hearts.
If A should play the queen of hearts,
therefore, all Z would have to do to
make four heart tricks would be to
refuse to win the first trick. Then as
soon as he obtained the lead, he could
lead his second heart, finesse the jack
and so win the next four heart tricks.
A can block this pretty little play,
however, by playing the seven of hearts
on the second trick. Il Z plays the jack
from VS. hand, it will win the trick, but
the only other heart trick he can win is
the ace. A must win the third heart
trick and so blocks VS. heart suit as the
hand contains no re-entry card. This
play, also, looks simple, but notice how
frequently player will split his equals
when he can only lose by so doing.

any defense. Before reading further,
figure out rs proper play.
He should first play out four rounds
of clubs. On the third club lead B
should discard the seven of hearts. On
the fourth club trick A should discard
spade, Y a diamond and B the trey of
diamonds.
z should now lead the deuce of
hearts, play the ten from Y's hand and
B must win the trick with the queen.
B must now lead diamond or a heart.
If the former, z lets the queen win in
VS. hand and then leads the jack of
hearts. If B should lead back a heart
instead of a diamond, z should let the
jack of hearts win in US hand and then
return the heart, capturing BIS king.
Played insthls way, B must win dia-
mond trick. Insny event, Z must score
at least three odd, game and rubber. It
is pretty hand to play and one well
worthy Of closest study. =

can't tell even now, after being
a star for so many years, what
makes people laugh.
In all OF the Fred Stone shows,
Mr.. stone has worked patiently
on a great number Of things de-
signed to bring laughter. Many
of them have been Developments
of things which accidently
brought laughs in previous pro
auctions. Others have been oriyi-
nal. ideas, and, Of course, many
things have been carefully worked
out that have been found wanting.
But in every production there has
. been some little added touch, put
in by chance which has brought
one of the greatest laughs Of the
pC C-formance.
For instance in stepping

stage suddenly, put his head in

The trick was tried out during
the rehearsals Of that musical
play, required no expensive or IN
tricate pumpkin. and certainly no
skill, yet it stood as one OF the
heartiest laughs of that show.
In Tip Top" Mr.. Stone, quite
by accident, added a bounce into
the orchestra pit onto the kettle
drum and back to the stage just
for good measure, yet 1t was one
Of the greatest laughs OF that
production.
