INTIMATE GLIMPSES AND INSIDE STUFF ON THE
 MOVIE COLONY

BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Holywood.-The coming summer months will see quite a number of musical films launched on the silver screen. The tremendous suc- cess of ''Fortysecond Street" and The Kid From Spain" has seen to that.
 However. we are not going to be deluged with this type of pie ture as we were about three years ago. All of which is fortunate for the producers. as we'll as au- udiences. A few good musicals will make plenty of money. A lot of bad ones-and if a large num- Der are made they are almost cer- tain to be poor-won't.
 Two factors enter into Holly woods decision to go slow on mu- steals despite the fact that they are the films cleaning up right now. For one thing the produc- CTS haven't forgotten how they were stung once before when the public suddenly turned thumbs uo"H oA suCh pTouuCllOHS. AISO, musicals are costly and require long production schedules.
 A director usually can figure on shooting eight or ten scenes of the ordinary picture in a single day. One or two scenes for a musical is good days work. And with the picture industry in its present financial status. 1t is nec- essary to make good pictures cheaply and quickly.
 Mae West Held Back
 A propos of what is in store for us, comes the news that Mae West may not be seen in another picture until next fall. Studio executives have just about made up their minds = a really big event in it. self-that she is not the type of star who can be showed on to the public too frequently.
 So they are going to wait until

new find for the cinema world, Frank Lawton, Beryl Mercer. Irene Browne, Merle Tottenham, John Warburton and Margaret Lindsay are perfectly cast in colorful roles.
 "Cavalcade" is absolutely unique in screen entertainment, so much so that it almost defies description by this commentator.
 There is no plot, in the general use of the word, it is instead a vast assortment of sequences. woven to- gether to make very interesting en- tertainment, and in which effects are achieved that fairly lift the au- dience out of their seats, which happened at all performances yes- terday.
 Massive in every detail, titanic in its sweep, great as life itself, a story of courage and love, the beat ing of a mothers heart, story of home and family, loyalty and all of lifes gallantry are found in this great picture.

"Cavalcade" is a picture that you cannot afford to miss.

 Noel Coward, the author, chose a
 daring theme, and the daring of

Crawford and Cooper
 Team in Fine Show

Joan Crawford and Gary Cooper in To-day We Live" has been de- lighting capacity audiences at War ners' State since it's opening on Saturday. The picture continues to- day and tomorrow.
 Miss Crawford, who seems to grow more exciting in appearance with each succeeding vehicle, has a striking role as the aristocratic English girl who cannot stand re- maining at home while her brother and two men who love her are at the front. Franchot Tone, the brother, and Robert Young, the childhood sweetheart, are mem- bers of the torpedo squad while Gary Cooper, who is closest to her heart, enrolls in the flying forces l In order to be near the three, Miss Crawford becomes a mem- Der of British ambulance unit.
 It is when Cooper is reported killed that the hysteria of the war forces Mis- Crawford to give her. self to the man who had loved her from childhood. Cooper's unex- pected return precipitates a stir ring dramatic climax. The picture is brought to smashing close when two men give up their lives in the sinking of a ship in order to save Cooper for the girl whom they all love.
 In To-day We Live" Miss Craw- ford offers what is probably the finest work of her entire career, and she is ably seconded by Coo per, the scenes between these two rising to a new high in the way of fervid romance. Robert Young as the lover who loses out offers a distinctive and sympathetic por- trayal, and Franchot Tone as the brother proves to be a new talkie find" Excellent performances are contributed by Roscoe Karns. the inimitable Louise Closer Hale, Rollo Lloyd and Hilda Vaughn.
 Wednesday brings another smashing double feature bill, headed by Lionel Barrymore in "Sweepings", his greatest character role and "A Lady Profession" with Allison Skipworth. Roland Young and a brilliant supporting cast.

 The most interesting form of championship bridge is the team of-four game. Here one pair of a team sits North and South at one table while their partners sit East and West at the other table. The opposing team takes the opposite seats.
 The board is played at one table and then passed over to the other table, where your oppo- nents hold your cards and your teammates hold the cards held by the opponents at your table. It is in these types of matches that real championship caliber is brought out.
 As this writer has often stated, the one over one system of con- tract bidding has won great majority of major championships within the last three or four years.
 The first important tournament of 1883 was the Eastern tourna- ment held in New York City and here again the one over one sys- tenn of play was victorious, carry ing off both the team -of-four championship 'and the open con- tract pair championship.
 The team-of- -four championship was especially interesting this year

in this and the next three articles I will present those hands.
 In the first hand we find MT Burnstine, rated as one of the ten best players in the country, win- ming the match not by specta- cular bid or play, but by we'll timed pass.
 MT Burnstine in the south open- ed with one spade. His partner made a sign-off bid of one no trump. MT Burnstine then bid three spades--an absolute forcing bid.
 MT Frey in the North respond ed with three no trump. Many players in MT Burnstines position would make the mistake of bidding four spades.
 But he has opened first hand with a spade bid. He has made a forcing bid of spades in the face of one no strump sign-off bid. He has certainly told his partner everything about his spade hold ing, and now if his partner will not elect to allow the hand to be played at spades, MT Burnstine correctly decided to pass.
 West doubled, and MT Frey re. doubled. This redouble demands partner not to go back to spades
 The Play.
 East elected to open a small spade which was won in dummy with the ace. Hearts were then led until vests acc was forced A club was returned by West and MT Frey then spread the hand for four no trump.
 At the other table, the opposing team, holding MT Burnstine's cards arrived at four spade contract which MT Schenken doubled and defeated one trick.

ENTRIES SLOW
ORNAT|QNAL
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH

NEW YORK, April 21.-For the
first time since golf became COL
umn / matter instead of a curio,
the prestige of the national open
championship is seriously chal-
lenged today.
It has the dates, June 8 to 10,
inclusive. It has the site, North
Shores snugly trapped course at
Chicago. It has the prize money,
$4,000, to be split 20 ways. What
it hasn't got is an adequate
entry.
Usually by this time there are
as many as $50 on the line. To-
day there are less than 80, with
the deadline, May 2, rapidly draw
ing near. If the nominations
don't come on with something of
a rush in the comparatively few
days remaining, the 1888 event
can't and won't be truly repre-
sentative meeting, at least not in
the matter of manpoWer.
GuardedeIy Admitted
These facts were guardedly ad-
mitted today at the headquarters
of the United States Golf Asso-
citation, with the further state
ment that last years grand total
of entries was 1912. To ap-
proach that under existing condi-
tions, business will have to take
a brisk upward turn. To equal
it would mean a deluge.
The answer? The United States
Golf Association blames the lack
of early response to the fact that
the championship dates were sud-
denly advanced, with the result
that most of the field isn't yet
aware that the affair is drawing
near.
They expect an overnight rush
to get in under the gun or before
May 2.
Rewards Too Few
What they can't expect, and
probably don't, is a general
response from the lower-mi6dle
class of golf professionals, in The
face of the fact that, while IN
dividual finances are dubious. the
rewards of championship play are
all too few. The ranking star
will be there, the aristocrat of the
fairway who travels de luxe and
is pandered to by the best people
in the hope that he will accept
them as an equal. Most of them,
in fact, automatically qualified
by finishing in the first 80 last
year.
But the obscure of the pro-
fession either have decided to
distinguish the occasion with
their absence during the sectional
trials of May Is or they are
waiting to find out whether the
railroads will be reasonable and
take it out in trading stamps.
Midnight of May 2 will tell
that story.

LOW-H|T GAMES
MARK EARLY
SEASON

From early indications, 1888 is
to be great year for major
league pitchers. Low-hit games
have been the rule, even with the
weather wet and cold, and the
pitching should improve when hot
weather sets in. In 10 days, Lou
Gehrig and Jimmy Foxx were the
only players able to hit more than
one home run.
The dozen clubs that played
yesterday averaged but seven hits
apiece. There were four four-hit
games.
Iron Man" Carl Hubbell, who
has worked in all three of New
York's games, pitched the Giants
to a 1-to-0 Shutout over Fred
Farmhouse, of the Boston Braves,
yielding but four hits. The star
southpaw famed 13 men, winding
up the game by striking out three
sluggers - Schulmerich, Berger
and Hogan. A triple by Davis
and a single by Critz accounted
for the only run.
Dean Drops Decision
Dizzy Dean, of the st. Louis
Cardinals, dropped his second de-
ciSion of the year to the Cubs,
3 to l. Pat Malone was the win
ming hurler and Babe Herman
drove in two runs.
Clint Brown, Of Cleveland,
turning in his second win Of the
campaign, won keen duel from
Vic Sorrell, of Detroit, 3 to /, as
the Tigers defense cracked. Cleve-
land collected five hits and De-
troit four.
Manager Lew Fonseca and AL
Simmons starred as the White
Sox noSed out the Browns. S to 4.
FonSeca drove in the winning run
in the ninth, a few minutes after
Simmons completed an unaSSiSted
double play by spearing Ferrell'S
short liner and running to second
base to double Melillo. who had
rounded third. Simmons also took
the lead IN the American League
batting race.
Club Brooklyn HurIerS
The Phillies clubbed four Brook
lyn pitchers for 13 hits and won
in a romp, 10 to 2, with Elliott
and Pearce limiting the Dodgers
to four blows. Cy Moore, Philly
pitcher, was taken to a hospital
with a broken nose after being
hit by a line drive in batting prac-
tice, and Outfielder Hal Lee pulled
a charley horse and had to retire.
Two other Phils, Whitney and
Hurst, also are out of commission.
The Pirates, Reds and Red Sox
did not play. The Yankees, un.
defeated in five American League
games, lost an exhibition contest
to Jersey City, 4 to 2.

Gehrig's Great Record

Why, only last summer he
Smacked four home runs in a
single game. In his major
baseball career Gehrig's runs
have averaged nearly 1874 and
his hits about 1913 per year. He
has averaged driving in 141
runs per season and in 1892,
when he drove in 1874 runs, he
broke his own record Of ITS.
What-a-man, What-a-man. He'll
be with us Sunday!
Incidentally, you will probably
find Gehrig, as well as Senor
Lefty Gomez, the gallant but
goofy Castilian, and many Of
the other Yankees present at

Son Athletic Night to be held
