first time I met Tallulah Bank

through the open windows.
Under the soft lights her hair
webbed seductively about her
Well-shaped head, like fine-spun
gold. There was tenderness in
her large eyes. 1t was a mo-

closer to her. "Tallulah," I
breathed heavily, please don't
think me a cad-but one Of
your stockings is slipping"
We've been friends ever since.
I sat with Clara Bow. 1t was
twilight. Her soft full lips
trembled. The crimson Of an
Oriental sunset was in her
hair and in her eyes were
the mysterious enticements Of
Astarte. Gently her hand stole
over and careSSed my arm.

hung seductively over the arm

Almost Alone
A winters night, three years
ago. I sat at the right Of a
soft-voiced blonde lass. Joan
Blondell. We would have been
alone, but, alas, the hostess, her
brother, her mother, and her
fiance were also present. Joan
Blondell and I were not alone.
Outside the wind howled. In

poured out Of the radio box.
Four tall candles flickered

Jimmy Cagney plays a politi.
clans tool who becomes inter
ested in q boys reform school,
institutes some radical changes
in it's government and eventually
becomes its head in Mayor Of
He'll" which is now on the Earle
screen.
It's a fast-moving tale which
packs a punch, and, incidentally,
is q good example Of sagacious
casting. AS vote-racketeer, jim
mie Is given his reward in the
form of a position at a boys in
stitution. There he finds innu-
merable cruelties inflicted on the
inmates, and, through the inspira-
ton of the nurse Of the school,
takes charge, revises their mode
of living into something more en-
joyable.
The direct head Of the reforma-
tory, incensed at the usurpation
Of his power, begins his abusive
practices again when Cagney is
gone, is mobbed by the infuri-
ated boys and killed. The end
of the film finds Jimmie back at
the institution and in the nurses
arms.
Whether or not this picture Is
showing actual present-day con-
ditions or not, and whether it is
propaganda against them, cannot
wen be answered, but, if the hor.
rible crueltieS that are revealed
on celluloid are true, they are
really a serious and terrible
blight on justice and govern
ment.

Author Dudley Nichols turned
out a screen biography Of Mayor
Cermak that covers what he con-
Sidered the eventful milestones in
the martyred mayors career. The
picture is called THE Man Who
Dared" and Is the main screen
attraction at the Fox Theater this
week.
It Is episode in screen treat
ment and incorporates some in

famous fire in 1879, the Colum-
bian worlds Fair Of 1898, bicycles
built for two and the beginning
Of that national pastime known
as racketeering.
Preston Foster Stars
Preston Foster plays the role
OF Mayor Cermak. It Is one OF
those screen characterizations SO
wholly at ease and genuine and
adorned with so many natural
human touches the pity is that
the story does not approach the
acting in stature.
Man Who Dared" is singularly
lacking in suspense. Perhaps it
is because the audience is aware
OF the tragic ending which oc-
Cured at Miami. At any rate the
narrative is sketchy, skipping
lightly over the major incidents
in the Cermak life and focusing
on showing the influence of his
humble beginning and early hard
ships on his political career.
The direction is without vigor
and q sense Of dramatic values
that might have made such a BIZ
ography gripping. Even the Mi
ami shooting Is hurried and
poorly developed by the director.
So Man Who Dared" registers

VA THEN holding the king, queen

er'S suit, in playing the hand at no
trump, you are confronted with two
different holdup problems, depend
ing upon which way you must take
a flnesse in another suit.
Take for example the following
hand South, playing the hand at
three no trump, will get the dia-
mond opening from West, who will
open the fourth best of that suit.
East will play the jack. and before
playing to the trick, the declarer
must analyze the hand.
He can see four sure spade tricks
one diamond a sure heart trick and
a sure eclub trick-seven in all To
make his contract, he must take
the club finesse.
With the ace and queen of clubs
in dummy, he must finesse to the
East hand; therefore, when East
plays the jack on the first diamond
lead, the declarer must hold up and
refuse to win the trick, playing the
seven. When East returns the nine
of diamonds, declarer will play the
queen, and if West wins the trick
with the ace and returns another
diamond, declarer will win the trick
with the king.
He then will take his club finesse
and East will have no other dia-
mond to return. His natural return
will be a heart, and South must not
fineSse, but must go right up with
his ace.
Now let us suppose that it is
South who holds the ace and queen
of clubs. West still would open a
