HORN" AT
 FOX-POLl PALACE

Metro-G -GoldWyn-Mayer's miracle "roadshow" picture of 1881. Trader Horn," now running on Broadway at $2 a seat, but shown at the Fox Poli Palace in Waterbury. at reg ular popular prices, is the big attrac- ton at the city's largest and most luxurious playhouse to-day and We'd nesday only. Trader Horn" will as- tound, astonish annd amaze you. Nothing just like it was ever pro- duced by mortal man. Pounded on the "best selling novel by Aloysius Horn, the romance of his fifty years of adventure in the heart of the dark continent. Trader Horn" is fas- cinating adventure story, a delight full love romance, and mighty Af- rican spectacle that quite surpasses anything ever before screened. Thou sands of wild animals of 33 di;erent species, in herds of the thousands and hundreds: 13 different tribes of savages, cannibals and pygmies; the widest of scenery in the heart of Africa; battles to the death between lions and other ferocious beasts. The Metro company travelled 14,000 miles through equatorial Africa, with a caravan of one hundred cars and trucks. Elephants, leopards, lions. zebras, crocodiles, rhinos, hippopo- | herds of hartebeest and antelopes ap- pear as actors in various sequences of the picture. Through 1t all runs a thrilling and fascinating romance the love of Trader Horn" and his partner, Peru" for "Nina," the white goddess of the Isorgi. Nothing quite so thrilling and spectacular as Trader Horn is to be seen in Wa terbury. It is made doubly spectac- ular at the Fox-Poli Palace by the use of the giant Granduscope screen extending completely across the stage. and showing all the big scenes and action shots in the clearest and most vivid manner. The sound is ex- ceptionally good, and Trader Horn was the first sound and talking pie ture to be made in the African veldt and jungle. Trader Horn is un- reeled on the giant Palace sheet starting at 1858, 4:18., 6:43 and 9:08 D. m. The Fox Movietone Newsreel completes the bill.

least four small trump or three to the ace, king or queen.
 South has now accounted for either nine of the diamonds or eight of them with four top swings. The only possible losing trick he has Is the king of hearts. Undoubtedly partners two quick tricks are in spades, so South responds with five hearts. North would go to six dia- monds, feeling more sure. of the slam in diamonds than in hearts, and still giving his partner a chance to go to six hearts.
 South should close the contract ing with six hearts. It is quite true that he feels confident that there is an absolute grand slam if the king of hearts is in the East hand, but if it should be in the West hand he could not make grand slam at either hearts or diamonds, and as long as he has 100 honors in hearts (bear in mind that in contract four honors .n one hand count 100) he prefers to play it at that suit
 North should pass the six hearts. He has given his partner perfect picture of his hand and must leave it to his judgment as to whether the ohOuid OO pi1y Cu hOl c oIielii slam or a grand slam.
 The Play.
 West would open the king of clubs. Declarer can see his small slam made if he can find the king of hearts in the East hand, or If the diamonds are split two-one. He will need two entries in dummy, to play the hand perfectly safe. The spades vii lprovide one entry. If he is careless and allows the club to ride up to his ace, all he can make is small slam. There- fore the club should be ruffed in dummy with the four of hearts and a heart returned and the finesse taken. The seven of spades is led to the dummy's ace and another heart returned. Again the f1nesse is taken.
 Declarer plays the ace of hearts, picking up East's king. When the diamonds break, he spreads the hand for a grand slam.

ROBERT MONTGOMERY IN HIS FIRST STARRING PICTURE "SHIPMATES" CLOSING AT THE STATE TONIGHT.

If you are one of those prosaic landlubbers whose knowledge of the navy is confined to recruiting posters and newsreels, don't miss the thrills of "Shipmates" Metro Goldwyn- May CTS hit talkie which is closing a highly successful four-day engage ment at Warner Bros State theater to- might.
 Robert Montgomery makes his bow as a star in the film with Dorothy Jordan as leading lady, which is reason enough to see the picture, even if it lacked the thun- dering battle parctice scenes in which the entire Pacific fleet takes part.
 With most of the scenes filmed aboard the U. S. s. Colorado, the picture provides unique and fasci- hating entertainment as we'll as nautical education. An entire navy career parades before you in ab- sorbing intimacy and the climax is reached in dramatic rescue staged on burning ammunition barge.
 Montgomery is perfect in his role of the sailor-hero and so ideally fits itno the navy background 1t is difficult to realize he is not, in fact a bluejacket, but an actor playing a part. As the admiral's daughter with whom he falls in love, Miss Jordan turns in charming per- formance.
 Harry Pollard directed the pie ture with keen insight and color. The splendid cast includes Ernest Terrence, Hobart Bosworth, Cliff Edwards. Joan Marsh. Edward Nu- gent, E. Allyn Warren. George Irving, Hedda Hopper and William Warrington.
 A very excellent surrounding pro- gram accompanies the picture which is shown at 2:20, 4:45, 7:00 and 9:30 D. m.

The Bidding


 At auction, a pre-emptive bid of four hearts by South might be jus- tified in an endeavor to shut out the spade bid, but the writer be- lieves it better to start a hand this strong with the bid of one hoping to be doubled if forced into a high contract.
 At contract bridge. however, South having enough tricks in his own hand to go game. should start the bidding with two hearts. using the demand bid. This requires part ner to keep the bidding open. The writer requires for a definite re. sponse that partner hold two high card tricks.
 If only one high card trick is wanted from partner to go game, we start with three bid. If one and one-half high card tricks are needed, one bid Is sufficient as partner will keep tn ebidding open with one and one-half tricks, there. fore with less than two tricks in response to two bid. partner should bid two no trump---then if on the next round the original two bidder forces again. ho informs partner that he needs only ono trick to make a small slam. After Bouth'a two bid, some play CTS would risk three clubs with West's holding, but lt might prove very costly, especially lf East and West wer0 vulnerable,

Mary PickfOrd in "Kiki'' and Buck Jones in "The Texas Ranger" on
 Double Feature Bill at Strand

Bringing to the screen a picture packed with laughter, love interest and droll comedy situations, Mary Pickford's latest United Artists fea- ture "Kiki" comes to Warner Bros. Strand theater tomorrow, headlin- ing brilliant double feature bill.
 'Kiki" was an international stage success and Miss Pickford has given to the role her. own personality in madcap characterization of the type that first brought her fame.
 It is a Sam Taylor production with Reginald Denny, himself comedy drama star, playing the masculine lead, and with a splendid cast including Margaret Livingston, Joseph Cawthorn. Fred Walton, Phil Tead, Fred Warren and Edwin Maxwell in support.
 Taylor, 1t will be remembered, di- rected Miss Pickford in My Best Girl" "Coquette' and Tanning of the Shrew," the last named having been the only picture in which Mary and Douglas Fairbanks co-starred.
 Taylor wrote the screen play as well as directing 1t. The settings of the story are in modern New York and were created by William Cam eron Menzies. supervising art direc- tor at the United Artists studios in Hollywood. The backgrounds are of a romantic nature and provided a pictorial sphere for the work Kari Struss. cameraman, who holds theA first award from the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences
 The story is that of q pretty, ha- rum -scarum girl whose infatuation for a young man causes many ludlcrous situations. \

GEORGE ARLISS IN THE
 MILLIONAIRE TO OPEN 3


 George Arliss in "The Millionaire" entation at Warner Brothers State |theater for the next three days Istarting tomorrow.
 MT Arliss without costumes or makeup is still the master of char acter and diction. The dialogue in "The Millionaire is supplied by Booth Tarkington, a worthy em- |bellishment to the original story by Earl Derr Biggers. John Adolf directed.
 MT Arliss' support includes Flor ence Arliss, (his wife )Evalyn Knapp and David Manners, as the romantic leads. Noah Beery, Fully Marshall, Ivan Simpson, J. c. Nu- gent, J. Farrell Macdonald, Bram- well Fletcher, James Cagney, and Sam Hardy.
 'The Millionaire" is based on the danger of idle luxury for an active man, MT Arliss plays the part of Ia wealthy automobile manufacturer. faced by doctors orders and his family's insistance. that he give up active work. Unable to stand the enforced idleness and the apparent certainty that his daughter is to eventually marry into the idle rich class, Arliss finds himself a new Interest in life in a partnership, with Ia young man in a garage and filling station.
 Amusing and dramatic complica- ltions ensue with the retired capital ist pitting his wits against unfair Icompetition without recourse to his wealth. This gives Arliss the op- portunity ot play part in overalls land service cap, rather rare ex. perience for him, but delightful lo one for any audience.
 "The Millionaire" Is a nengagine American comedy with Arliss tn what we predict will be the most popular role he has had in talking pictures, not even excepting the now | famous "Disrasii" and "oid Eng. lish."

FASTEST CAGE CAME 0F THE SEASON WON
 BY INLET ANTLERs
Boy. what a game that was

Basketball fans waxed hot and cold during the extra last five minutes of play last night betwix the Anchorage Antlers and the Seward high school Ponies" which the Inlet five won by one point, 29 to 28. And on the one foul shot made by tn evislt- ors during the entire fracas. Fur thermore it was at the last possible moment for just as Arbiter Fran cis Groth tapped Don Shellhorn on the back for fouling Strand berg, the time-keeper's bird-like whistle blew; simultaneously with the referees.
 In a breath taking drive the Ponies" had dynanlited through from a 14-24 score at the end of the third quarter to 26-26 tie at the final blast. It was decided to play five minutes more in an endeavor. to play off the tie
 Both teams were going at a tremendous pace with Anchorage almost frantic in their efforts to halt the stampeding Ponies"
 Porter, crack Antler forward, sunk a pretty one from the field. Shelhorn and Rogers, both foul ed by Antler men, converted tying the game again. Then came the last foul which proved to be tie winning point for Anchorage when Standberg converted. And the crowd roared its approval of the end of the hardest fought, most evenly matched squads and the best game witnessed in Sew ard in decade.
 1 Captain Strandberg, at the end of the game, rushed over to Sup erintendent of Schools, M. J. Roaney, to personally congratu- late him upon his gamey team commenting especially on the "Po- nies" wonderful drive from be- hind.
 '! Some really marvellous plays were made by members of both lives and to laud anyone individ- ualIy over a compatriot, would be entirely out of order.
 Scoring was made as follows:
 Antlers-
 Holdimane l2, strandberg g. Porter g.
 Seward high school
 Lange 10, Shellhorn 9, Benson ! 6, Sandbeck, ?.
 The first quarter ended in favor Of the AntleIs, 6-2; the half saw them maintain their lead, 1O-6; third quarter 24-14 favor of the Inletters and 26 all at the whis- tie; end of extra five minutes of play, 292S.
 Referee Groth, as usual, hand led the game to the perfect sat, isfaction of the majority and tht visitors thanked him for his fai' decisions and alertness in keep ing the game going at top speed If he Missed any, he called dog } ems of others the fans failed t.
 pick out.
 The Antlers left for home to-
 day, happy in that they are re turning with at least one Sewar'
 scalp, even though it is tougl one, and darn hard-earned.
