Who's Who in | for Next Play
Cast of A. A. Mines Truth About Blayds"

To contrast the opening bill, "The Devil in the Cheese" the fantastic whimsical comedy of sev- eral scenes the Little Theater's second bill will be a character comedy in one set.
 Miss Schoeni has it in mind to give this a more imaginative set ting than just the four walls of stodgy, pompous English drawing room, with the usual three doors, fireplace, panelling in dark oak and the familiar fireplace.
 The over emphasis of the famous Bladys gives ample opportunity for an imaginative, exaggeration of those clements which go to make up the home which has be- come more a symbol of the old mans fame than a home for the rest of the family, whose lives are but shadows in his reflected glory. The cast is as follows: Oliver Bladys last of the Victorians. Will liam D. Pierson; Isobel Bladys, Eleanor Johnquest; Marion Bladys- Conway, Josephine Canty; William B1adys-C Conway, Percy Leaper; Oliver Bladys-Conway, Eben Web- ster; Septima Bladys-Conway. Margaret Adams: A. l.. Royce, C.. B. Steere.

 Philip Hal sims of Deal, N. J. has been aptly termed the greatest contract bridge tournament player in the world. Last spring ne formed a team to which were add ed oswald Jacoby. who will partner Sidney Lenz in his match against Culbertson, Willard Karn who re- gently won the individual contract
 bridge championship of the United
 States, and David Burnstine. This team has never been beaten In
 tournament play.
 Sweeping to triumph after tri-
 umph this team has just climaxed
 their efforts by winning the Van- derbilt cup, taking possession from
 MT and Mrs Ely Culbertson ana partners who thus saw their last title disappear.
 The -FOUR HoRsEMEN" as thev are called are members or the Knickerbocker Whist club of New York where they developed their style and system of play in coliap- oration with George Keith, Sidney eng. Commander Winfield Liggett, Jr. and others. When Bridge Head quarters was formed and the first annual convention was held at the Roosevelt hotel in New York the Four Horsemen played special matches on the huge play-by-piay board to demonstrate orthodox bid- ding methods to hundreds of teacn-
 CTS. MEN" themselves, as a result or
 skillfully and highly developed me-
 thods far beyond the ken of the average bridge player. have devei- oped a system of bidding all their own, their methods most closely resemble the so-called Knicker- booker One-over-On system as fos-
 tered by George Keith. This IS a subtle variation of the official sys- tenn of bidding, in which Keith. Lenz, Milton c. Work, B. V. Shep- ard, Shepard Barclay and others
 are the leading proponents.
 Tn the recent Vanderbilt cup tournament the leading teams used the One-over-One variation while
 one team used the official system
 and one the anproach-forcing or Culbertson system.
 The Vanderbilt method of bid- ding achieved considerable vogue some years ago and then died out. The Culbertson system was only re- gently popular but due to it's failure to include the ''invitational two"
 bid it incorporated a glaring weak ness which caused the experts to abandon 1t. Ely Culbertson declined a place on the advisory council or | Bridge Headquarters because tres mendous majority was in favor of
 eliminating the two-demand pia or his approach-forcing system. The 1 experts decided to make the two- bid a game invitation bid and the
 three bid the demand bid. The Gull bertsons are now the only ones
 among the experts to retain the de- mand bid of two.
 After the Vanderbilt cup play the -FOUR HoRsEMEN" made the announcement that the spec Itacular ''pgychic bid" was greatly ovarestimated and valuable only against weaker players. The roeent codillcation of bidding conventions
 by all the experts into the official
 system has greatly increased the simplicity and popularity of con- | tract bridge. lt ts estimated that

tract at least one trick, probably more. However, should South have a very strong hand and prefer a game at no-trump, and if game valuation will exceed the penalty of two tricks, he should unhesitat- ingly bid three no-trumps. THE SOS" REDOUBLE There is one situation under doubles which really is not classi- fled. This bid is known as the SOS" redouble as illustrated be- low:
 EXAMPLE,:
 South West North East no-trump double pass pass redouble Ca penalty pass) South in the face of East's pen alty pass, redoubles in the above illustration as Q signal of distress, calling on North for help. North's response should be made in his longest suit, and while the contract will be increased one trick, heavy | loss is apt to be averted if North happens to have a five-card suit. NOTE:
 Here is some advice which will protect you against considerable loss. Bear in mind that a double will enable declarer to place i'm portant cards and expert card readers may take full advantage oi this knowledge.
