CLIvE BROOK IS
 GREAT DETECTIVE


 Perhaps. no fiction character ever created has become SO charmingly roal as sherlock Holmes" created by the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author Of what Is easily the best detective literature in English.
 The character of Holmes, Doyle has told us, was partly suggested by his student memories of Dr Jo- seph Bell of the Edinburgh infirm- ary, whose diagnostic munitions used to startle his patients and pupils. But there is abundant evidence that the invention of the scientific detective conformed to a Fundamental logic in Doyle's own temper and his keen, flexible imag- ination.
 It was not until Doyle obtained his degree of Doctor of Medicine. opened an office as an eye special ist and waited for patients that never arrived, that he began to see the possibilities of Sherlock Holmes"
 Since Doyle created Sherlock Holmes he has had host of imi- tators, and must be regarded as the literary ancestor of q large army of scientific detectives. who have appeared between the covers of books as welbl as on the stage and screen.
 New Story Screened
 Doyle wrote the story on which "Sherlock Holmes," tho new Fox picture, coming to the Poli Palace theater Thursday with Give Brook playing the role of the famous man hunter, is based. It was prepared for the screen by Bertram Mil hauser, and William K. Howard, brilliant young director of Trans atlantic" scotland Yard" and "The First Year" directed 1t. Supporting Give Brook is cast that includes Miriam Jordan, beau tiful young English actress. in the leading feminine role, Ernest Tor- renee. one of the best known ''heavies" of films, as "Moriarty," arch enemy of the famous detec- tive; Alan Mowbray. Montague Shaw, Howard Leeds, Arnold Lucy. Lucien Prival, Roy Darcy. Stanley Fields. Brandon Hurst. Eddie Dil- Ion and Robert Graves.
 The story depicts the experiegces of Sherlock Holmes in dealing With American racketeering methods.

 MT Leon in the East opened with the ace of hearts, which was trumped by the declarer with tho three of spades.
 The declarer than led the ace of diamonds. Would you careless- ly play the ten?
 Mir Leon carefully thought tho hand out before playing. He could see that he and his partner could make Q diamond trick, a spade trick and possibly club trick. How were they to win the setting trick?
 MT Leon's only chance was to find his partner with the jack of diamonds 50 that he could lead a spade and thereby prevent the de- clarer from getting . ruff in dum- my. If MT Leon were to lead a spade, while he might gain dia- mond trick, declarer would gain q spade trick.
 Therefore MT Leon discarded tho king of diamonds. Declarer then led a small diamond and MT Leon played the ten of diamonds, South played the eight, and now fine partnership was demonstrat- cd. Z
 MT Guggenheim in the West realized what his partner was att tempting to do and overlook the ten of diamonds with the jack, immediately returning a spade.
 The declarer took the finessc, Mir Leon won with the queen /of spades, cashed his queen of dia- monds, and of course could still win club trick which was the setting trick. Copyright, 1932, NEA Service. s1nc.)

70 WITNESSES TESTIFY IN PROBE OF SALISBURY LYNCFIN
SNOW BENEATH
SEADESCRIBED

How it "snows" on deep-sea
divers working far below the
oceans surface was described last
night by Lieut.. Norman S. Ives,
naval diving expert, in address
ing the Washington section of the
Society of Mechanical Engineers
at Catholic University.
There are instances when the
water is so cold it crystallizes
water vapor in air pumped down
for the diver to breathe, so pellets
of sleet or snow come down the
hose. This is now usually pre-
vented by heating and de-hydrat-
ing the air first, the officer ex.
planned.
