Constance Bennett i'm "What Price Hollywood" Closing at the State Tonight; Two Pictures Starting Wednesday

Performances this afternoon and evening conclude the engagement, at Warmers State of Constance Bennett's latest starring vehicle, What Price Hollywood"
 Starting tomorrow another de- luxe double feature program will be presented for three days to in- clude "By Whose Hand?" g rous- ing mystery thriller and Flames" starring John Mack Brown.
 ' The former provides 9 vehicle to keep the audience on edge every minute as the logical but utterly baffling plot unfolds.
 Ben Lyon. as Jimmy Hawley, a reporter, doesn't profess to be a de- tective, but his newspaper training has taught. him enough inside" stuff to enable him to trap a ''kill- er'' who has escaped from the peni- tentiary---and further unravel a string of mysterious happenings.
 All this takes place on a Ftrans- continental train at night, which affords opportunity for vivid camera work. It so happens that the same train has aboard many notorious underworld characters. who contribute their repsective parts with interesting and com polling developments.
 Interesting performances are giv- en by Nat Pendleton, as Killer Delmar, Kenneth Thomson, Dwight Frye and William Halligan. A de- lightful romance is charmingly en- acted by Barbara Weeks and Ben Lyon. If you like your mystery films real mysterious, here's one made to order.
 The companion feature "Flames'' presents a fresh and convincing angle on the thrilling every day existence of the brave fire-fighters in a great city. The perils to which they subject themselves in the course of their ordinary du- ties, and the cool nonchalance with which they must necessarily accept them, enhance the spectacu- lar depletion of immense blazes and narrow escapes from flaming death. F
 Johnny Mack Brown. who won laurels for his clever portrayal of Billy, the Kid" and as leading man for Garbo, Mary Pickford and Joan Crawford, plays the role of the brave fireman, while his lead ing lady is Noel Francis, former Ziegfeld Follies star.

The Bidding.

q
 The one over one was the sys- tenn of bidding employed. South started with one heart and North responded with one no trump. This bid of one no trump, you will notice, was made without even one and one-half tricks. When using the one over one the first and second hand initial bids are sound and strong-they must contain two and one half quick tricks counting no combination of honors, and four and one-half to five playable tricks.
 The no trump denial as made by North in this hand simply gives partner another opportunity to bid. at the same time warning him that North's hand may be as weak as two queens. In other words, 1t does no show strength-it is a dis couraging response. :.
 East bid two spades, knowing that North's. no trump meant little or nothing, and desiring to show the spade suit while the bidding was low. South bid three hearts, West passed and North could not be criticized if he passed three hearts. However, with South shpw- ing a five-card heart suit. and an ability to rebid in the face of a no trump bid, North risked four hearts. This was the final con- tract. M
 The Play.
 Vests opening lead of the seven of spades was won by the declarer with the ace. Two rounds of trump were taken. The declarer's problem now is to create an entry in dummy, as undoubtedly the ace of diamonds Is marked In the East hand. The queen of clubs is play
 East refused to win. so the seven of clubs followed and the king was played from dummy. which East vol, with the ace.
