Rose on Merit Alone

I OLA LANE is one Of the screen
stars whose career has been mete-
oric. She has neither beauty contest
nor pull" to thank for it.
Three years ago, in her small home
town in Iowa, it was forbidden by social
ethics to be interested in the show
world. Her college professor never at
tended shows, nor would he permit his
pupils to see movie.
Lola felt the urge Of the stage and
she ran away from home, with New
York, mecca for all stage aspirants, as
her destination. After a few trials she
landed in the Ziegfeld Follies, thence
into vaudeville and finally she found
her way to George Jessel and THE
War Song" There she was discovered
as good screen material and went to
Hollywood with Fox contract.
Miss Lanes current picture, a James
Cruze production, Hell Bound" at the
Rialto, is a perturbation of Edward
Dean Sullivan and Adele Comandini's
story. Platinum" It is an underworld
story.

AUCTION BIDDING:

No score, rubber game If z dealt,
Did one spade and A passed, what
should Y do?
Many players with VS. hand would
pass and give as their reason that he
holds three spades and should, there
fore, not deny his partners spade bid.
This reasoning is correct if your partner
never bids four-card suit; but, in
these days, four-card suits are bid
freely and often, and three small
trumps are not average or proper sup
port for four-card suit-bid. Such a
sult-bid, to produce the best results,
requires at least three trumps to an
honor or four or more small trumps.
Us proper bid, therefore, is two hearts.
At spades, Y Z could make only
three odd, while at hearts they could
easily score four odd, game and rubber
Z held 4 four-card spade bid and A
made two tricks in spades. Be on the
lookout for such hands and don hesi-
tate to show as good a suit as y held,
even if YOU do hold three small trumps
of your partners suit.
At Contract, the bidding should be
the same.

bid one spade and A passed, what
should Y do?
Here is another hand, very similar
to Hand No. l, where Y holds three
small spades which, as already pointed
out, are not proper support for posi-
bic four-card suit bid. US correct bid
with this hand is one no trump. B will
pass and z will now bid his hearts. At
the latter bid, Y Z can score game and
rubber, but if Y had passed and allowed
4 to play the hand at one spade, Y Z
would only have scored three odd. Be
on the lookout for hands of type one
and two.
At Contract, the bidding should be
the same.
