 A doubleton is one of the most difficult openings in bridge. There are very few cases where it pays However, an ace and small dou- bleton can sometimes be played to advantage.
 West has two trumps-he may just as well try fo ra ruff by opening the ace of diamonds. Eas: would play the encouraging nine spot and West would then continue with the deuce. which East would play the encouraging nine spot and West would then continue with the deuce, which East would win wit hthe king and then re- turn the eight, which West would trump with the three of spades.
 The declarer has already lost three tricks and now when Wes, leads the king of hearts, the de- clarer will win with the ace. Il is not difficult for the declarer to go game unless he gets careless His proper play Is to lead the ace and queen of clubs. In order to go game he must lead the king of spades and then the queen o1 spades. His next play is small spade to dummy's ace. This picks up the outstanding trump and now the declarer can lead the king of clubs from dummy and discard the losing heart.
 If he had attempted after lead ing his ace and queen of clubs to go over to the dummy with the ace of spades and then lead hi! king of clubs, his contract would have been defeated. He must ust outstanding trump and as a reen' the ace of spades to pick up tht try at the same time.

Knoxville, Tenn-Gee, it was hot. and Patrolman John Hatcher stopped wiping the sweat from his brow long enough to start at an odd individual coming down the street dressed in an overcoat. He approached the gentleman in ques- ton. Said that worthy: My name is Vonman live at Lutterell I'm wearing this overcoat be- cause thought 1t was going to rain. Is 1t any of your business? ?' Hatcher grinned and walked away content to let the man suffer.

A NEW STAR IN POLL PALACE PICTURE. DOROTHY WILSON AN INSTANT FAVOR1TE.

A new star came to the Poll Pal ace screen yesterday in a picture so poignantly true, so daringiy honest that it merits the attention of every man and woman ana cnllo in Waterbury.
 The star is Dorothy Wilson who, we are told. was adorning sten- ographer's desk just a few weeks ago in the RKO-Radio studio Tn Hollywood.
 The picture is "The Age of Con- sent',-a photoplay which ceases to be just a roll of celluloid and, in- stead. becomes a moving, stirring panorama of young lives, suddenly engulfed in Q tidal wave Of human emotions.
 There was inspiration behind the making of this stirring drama. A fine sense of beauty and human feeling, those intangible elements sometimes missed by the Holly wood productions, throughout The Age of Consent"
 Dorothy Wilson, beautiful be- cause of her winning expressive personality, must indeed hay felt, during the filming of the picture, every emotion she outwardly por- trays. Otherwise she could not pos sibly have touched so many hearts yesterday at the opening perform ance of the picture. Few other pictures that have been so modestly heralded as "The Age of Consent" succeeded in giv- ing an audience so great and happy glow as that which was aroused in them by this powerful piece of entertainmenE
 In reviewing the work of Dor othy Wilson, and the players who support her-Arline Judge, Rich- ard Cromwell, Eric Linden, Aileen Pringle and John Halliday-one disregards that they are actors and actresses.
 They are persons we have known, or hope to know, and con- sequently their crises become our crises.
 Strangely enough it is another Wilson girl, Lois Wilson, who is the leading light of the associate feature, Drifting Souls" Theodore Von Eltz and Bryant Washburn are others in the cast of this exciting modern drama.
 Marion Davies and Robert Mont gomery in "Blondie of the Follies'' is announced for Sunday at the Palace.

THE MAN CALLED BACK" AND
 MAKE ME 4 STAR" ON BILL AT STRAND TODAY AND TO.

THE MAN CALLED BACK" AMI
 MAKE ME A STAR" ON BILI
 AT STRAND TO-DAY AND TO. ,. MORROW.
 Conrad Nasel is starred in "he Man Called Back" which begins a two day engagement at Warmers Strand to-day where it heads a de- luxe double feature program. "Si- lent Thunder" the original novel on which the film is based, was written by Andrew Soutar. It is a story of the regeneration of a man through his love for a woman, whose aid enables him to fight the ostracism which surrounds him. Conrad Nagel's' role is that of an English surgeon whose career Is shattered by pronigate living. Wan derins over the Orient, he settles on one of the Malayan islands where the whites shun him and the natives mock him. A lovely visitor to the spot takes an inter- est in him-first as his patient, later as his friend. She must leave for London, and when they again meet, his shock at learning that She is married is softened by the humiliation in which her wealthy husbands philandering has placed her. Together they fight com mon battle, with happiness as the reward.
 Conrad Nagel, who has been ab- sent from the screen these many months, stages a triumphant come back as the young surgeon. He gives the part its full quota of manly sincerity, and makes the characterization utterly real and sympathetic. Doris Kenyon's charm and histfionic ability are both given ample scope In the lead ing feminine role. Other skilled troupers, famous on both stage and screen, who appear in the feature are John Halliday, Juliette Comp ton, Reginald owen. Mae Busch and Alan Mowbray.
 The companion feature is Make Me a. Star", featuring Joan Blon- dell and Stuart Erwin. It Is a comedy romance of a small town country lad who becomes movie struck and goes to Hollywood How his first picture. began az western thriller. turns out to De comedy riot and heads him roi stardom provide a new form ol 9, screen entertainment that IS wortl while viewing.

greenhorn. During the two years she has been working as a stand in, she has studied hard in order to be prepared for the day she would get her break. She got il and she's ready.
 It was nothing but pure luck which brought the contract tc Monica Bannister. For months Monica has been working around the various studios as an extra But like most of her 10000 sis. ter extras she received little at- tention from anyone.
 She just kept plugging along working when she could and not expecting ever to get much far ther than the extra ranks. It just happened that on the first day oi Warmers raid for new talent, she appeared at the studio in quest ot work. She didn't get any work that day, but she did get a con. tract which will bring her plenty in the future.
 Jacqueline Allen was the next to be handed a contract and wal the only one for whom the studio sent. The others just happened to come around when the studio boss was in the mood for signing new players. Miss Allen had been dancing and singing at the famous Cocoanut Grove, one of the few hang-outs of film folk. Being one of those personality-plus girls she attracted plenty of attention. So when Warmers started looking for new talent they decided she would be given a trial.
 The remaining four of the group, Patricia Green, Muriel Cor don, Geraine Greer and Alice Janz, all had been doing extra work - when they could get it.

Youth At Premium Again As
 Movies Seek New Girls For Stars
 rec, DEMAND FOR OLDER AND MORE EXPERIENCED PLAYERS WAL.
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

dollWood - summer ID over.
 Anyway the kids are back in school, husky football stars are getting in shape for the 1882 sea- menced its usual autumn search for new talent.
 Just a few days ago, the War ner-First National studio handed out long-term contracts to seven new girls. And other studios are picking up potential stars where ever they can be found.
 The last 12 months have brought about quite change in the cinema industry. A year ago studio exec utives were combing the legitimate stage for middle-aged players to portray character roles. Now they are putting premium on youth again.
 All of the seven girls signed by Warmers are still in their teens. And stardom is being predicted for each of them. Of course that won't happen. One or possibly two of the group might develop into real stars. If they do. the stu dio will be well repaid for it's ef- forts.
 Outstanding in the group and with the best chance of really going places, in my opinion, is Lo- rena Layson. Nineteen years old, with brown hair and brown eyes, Miss Layson now has been in pie lures for nearly two years. But her face never has been on the screen. She did work for half a day before the cameras once but not single scene in which she appeared ever reached the finished picture.
 Since fat first day as an ex- tra, Lorenu has been working as a stand-in girl--a girl who stands in for the star while the electri- clans and cameramen focus the lights and cameras for the shoot ing of a scene. During this time | many of the stars for whom she has stood in have plugged" her | for a contract.
 Dorothy Mackaill told one pro- ducer that he would regret the day he didn't sign her. Barbara Stanwycl: tried to persuade the ex- ecutives of two studios that she was a good bet. Ruth Chatter ton almost insisted that she be given a scren test. And several directors promised to make the test. But nothing ever happened.
 Then the autumn search for new talent started. And before she knew it, Lorena had put her name on the dotted line of a seven-year contract. Nor is she starting her acting as an absolute

 With the possible exception of Miss Layson, none of this group know much about acting. How ever, they will be given every op- portunity of learning. And after that = well, let's wait and see what happens.

WORLD OIL CARTELS
MAY BE ORGANIZED
Conference in New York Is Likely
to Produce Stabilization
in Industry.
BY BRADLEY w. TRENT.

NEW YORK, May IA series OF
cartels are seen as the outcome Of the
world oil conference, which, according
to C. E. Arnott, president OF Socony-
Vacuum Oil Corporation, will begin
formal discussions here Monday, follow
ing the preliminary talks this week.
Virtually every important worldwide
oil producing and marketing company
will be represented.
Meanwhile, the stock tickers are
directing attention to the domestic oil
situation They are outlining the story
of the statistical improvement in the
petroleum industry. Accompanying a
series of price advances for gasoline
and various petroleum products, the
highly integrated corporations are now
making better income statements for the
last two months.
The search for oil has abated. This
is indicated by oil well competitions, a
decline in drilling operations in Wild
cat and proven areas and the surrender
Of millions Of acres of prospective oil
lands under lease by large corporations
that would rather surrender such leases
than pay rentals
Oil wells completed in this country
in 1929 numbered 15,509. In 1880 they
were 1853 and in 1881 were 6,748.
Little wild-catting is being done
Neither money lenders nor "get-rich-
quick" investors are financing wild
cat operations these days. Low crude
prices and the proraticning of all new
pools, which eliminates the spectacular
gushing of liquid gold" have erased
much of the investment glamour in oil
Almost two-thirds Of the present drill
ing operations are within the proven
East Texas area, where allowed produc-
ton is based on the number of wells.
Then, too, the low prices of crude have
knocked the former backbone out of the
industry by causing the abandonment
of thousands of stripper wells.
