 went through it in so capable . for scene changes, fs sufficient proof that this is no ordinary anna teur theatrical group.
 Miss sch0eni is again the power behind the scenes as director and in the first play of this season has whipped together an altogether agreebale piece. If you have an ac- tive imagination you will thorough ly enjoy the fantastic and ludic- rous situations developed in the play; if you have not, it's just too bad. The Devil in the Cheese" has two main scenes, both atop a high promont0ry showing the monastery of Meteoro. Between these two scenes which form the first and third acts, comes the fantasy, and during this act of a few episides skilfully handled by the stage busi- ness group, one is shown what is going on inside the head of Gold Ina Quigley. heroine of the show. A nove situation, this.
 The manner in which the Quig- ley family is hoisted up the side of a cliff and deposited at the mon- astery furnished no little amuse- ment. MT Quigley, a fond but un- reasonable father, rents the suppos- ed monastery from the also sup posed Father Petros, Q Greek monk, in order to remove his daughter from a certain Jimmie Chard, ship steward. What goes on way up on top of this cliff and subsequently in Goldina's head fol- low. You are not altogether sur prised when Jimmie arrives by air. plane, or when in the last act the pious group of monks turns out to be company of ferocious bandits, hungry for a fat ransom.
 Since this is only fantastic comedy with the traditional happy end in sight, the hero eventually holds up the entire bunch in true movie fashion at the point of the gun, and once more the Quigley family is seen inside the deluxe drawing room basket about to des- cend down the side of the cliff.
 The honors of the show go to the young couple Goldina and Jimmie, played by Mrs William Wirt Young and Fred Green, who have unusually long parts. They gave to their roles a youthfulness and sincerity quite in keeping. Wal ter Pease and Mrs Ray Wood as MT and Mrs Quigley, the latter furnishing large bit of comedy, the former the perplexity of an ir- ate and baffled father, gave agree able performances.

i, there is a total of six high card tricks with more or less equitable distribution in the two hands, and there generally is game if the partnership can get together on the best bid of the combined 26 cards. The game-demand or jump-shift take-out is of such importance that 1t will be explained in separate lesson devoted entirely to this bid and the subsequent responses. TABLE OF NO-TRUMP TAKE OUTS OF SUIT BIDS OF ONE
 (No Intervening Bid) Assuming no intervening bid, lacking adequate support for Q major suit bid and no suit to show. take out In no-trump-with good no-trump distribution, as follows: 1. With two unbid suits stopped

 BY OPPONENTS
 If there has been an intervening adverse bid, the no-trump take-out should show at least two stoppers In the adverse suit. If there Is only one stopper in the adverse suit there should be either.
 (a) additional strength in two or
 more suits, or
 (b) there should be a solid minor
 suitsOf at least five cards and,
 under these provisions, tine
 takc-Out may be either two or
 three no-trump, depending on
 the count in the hand.
 An intervening bid by the oppo- nents often confuses the average player and tends to discourage him from bidding the full value of his hand.
 Valuable inferences may be drawn from the opponents bids and 1t should be clearly understood that it is entirely possible for both North and South and East and West to have a game in their hands.
 If player has studied a good system, he can disregard the bids made by opponents, ex- ccpt as source of valuable infor- nation.
 If you bid in strict accordance with the Official System you can bid with the absolute assurance that your bids are sound. If you have no bidding system you have no sure defense against opponents bids. You are making a shot in Inc dark.
 Bid your hand confidently and don't let opponents. especially if they are experienced players, upset your Bidding. They win surely try 10 do 1t. HANDS ILLUSTRATING RE- SPONSES TO A SUIT BID

WAR PROF4TEER
CURB OFFERED
BY BARUCH
Commission Studies Plans to
Mobilize Industry During
Times of National Conflict

Within 48 hours after declara-
ton of war, leaders of every indus
try would be mobolized in Wash
ington, and within two weeks they
would have a smoothly-running or
ganization which would place
every resource of the nation at
the disposal of the war-making
industry.
This would be accomplished un-
der plans being studied by the
commission for taking the profits
out of war which is holding hear
ings on war policies at the Cap
itOI.
Bernard M. Baruch, wartime
chairman of the war industries
board, and other leaders have
been called into consultation by
the commission, and next week
the group plans to hear more
than a dozen persons who had
extensive experience in the last
conflict.
Baker May Appear
These witnesses will include
Newton D. Baker, Secretary Of
War during the world war, and
probably General Pershing.
Mr.. Baruch has laid before the
commission the most comprehen
sive program thus far. Under II
he would place all industry and
labor under Government control
without the Government formally
taking over industries as it die
the railroads during the World
war.
An industrial strategiSt" OF
other controlling agency WOULD
be set up to direct affairs.
Hearings Next Week
This central head would be
assisted by representatives OF
every industry. He would work
in conjunction with the War De-
partment, but would not be under
it's control.
Mr.. Baruch's plan is similar to
one prepared by the War Depart
ment under the National Defense
Act.
Secretary of War Patrick Hur-
ley, chairman of the commission,
announced today that further
hearings will be held Monday,
Wednesday and Thursday.
