Il II Il
DEPARTMENT STORE
MOVIE AT THE CIRCLE

Alice White brings comic relief to
Employees Entrance" an other
wise hazy picture. The vents of the
story just don't seem to click and
form themselves into an orderly
sequence.
Miss White displays new type
of her hard boiled acting in the role
of the model who does everything
but model. She is ordered to play
chess with the fussy vice-president
at $40 dollars a week.
She is offered the job Of being
mistress to the store manager with
the prospects of getting all the little
things her heart desires. She gives
her consent with the understanding
that she may be fired and paid off
at any time. Miss White portrays
this type with a dash of satire
which is most entertaining.
Warren William, as the dynamic
and unsentimental store manager,
handles his part well. He fires en-
ployes right and life, kills small
businesses and proceeds to take his
pleasures where he finds them. Will
liam's commanding personality is
we'll suited to such a role and if it
were not for the lack of continuity
in the story, the part would have
been greater yet.
Loretta Young, the traditional
girl-out- Of a-job, has a hard time
being consistent. She loves con-
sistent. She loves Martin West
wallace Ford enough to secretly
marry him, but she accepts the
managers invitation to spend the
night in his room. The part itself
is unusual and whatever acting Miss
Young may display doesn't take
effect.
Wallace Ford, as Martin West,
the managers protege, is fair. He
marries in spite of the advice his
boss has given him. Later he sees
that the type of life which he is
heading for is not conducive to
marital happiness, and quits.
I think this picture could have
been much better if the story had
been given better continuity, more
pep. and speed.
All of the action of the story
takes place beneath the roof of a
department store.

Contract Bridge

If the hand was to be played at
no trump, she decided that it would
be better for her to play the hand
due to her terrace holdings in
spades and clubs. Therefore, she
bid two no trump.
Her partner responded with three
diamonds to show two five-card
holdings. Mrs. Bennett decided to
try for the nine tricks at no trump
rather than ten of a suit, and bid
three no trump.
The Play
East's opening lead was the six Of
diamonds. Dummy's eight held the
trick.
The ace and then a small spade
were led from dummy and the jack
flneSse taken, which was won by
East with the queen.
East made a very fine play by re-
turning the queen of hearts, which
dummy won with the king. Mrs.
Bennett then led the queen of clubs
from dummy and West refused to
cover, playing the six spot.
Supposing that West had showed
you his hand and you knew that
the queen Of clubs would hold if
you took the f1neSse, would you
take the play?
If so. your contract would be de-
feated, because on the next pl you
must lead a diamond, which East
will win, and put you right back in
the dummy with a diamond, and
West will eventually win three heart
tricks.
However, Mrs. Bennett was not to
be tricked, and she went right up
with her ace of clubs. She then
cashier her three good spade tricks,
East discarding a club Two hearts
and diamond were discarded from
dummy
Mrs. Benn1tt then led heart and
won in dummy with the ace. She
cashed the coed ace of diamonds
for her ninth trick. and by refusing
to take a fineSse-even though il
was wipner-she had found the
only way to make her contract.

United Press Staff Correspondent

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. 13.-
The abiding, immutable spirit of
Abraham Lincoln lived again today
in the old haunts of his boyhood
as a distressed nation paused to re-
we're the One hundred twenty
fourth anniversary of his birth.
Statesmen, jurists, the clergy and
commoners joined here in paying
tribute to the Civil war President.
Two Governors, a celebrated
judge, an Italian prince and an
Episcopal minister assembled at the
Great emancipator's tomb in pro-
found respect. Pilgrims from sur
rounding states came to Oak Ridge
cemetery and to visit other historic
spots here closely associated with
Llncoln'S youth and the days when
he was struggling attorney.

likened unrest Of present times to
that which Lincoln faced during the
Civil war. He called upon the ma
ton to retrive Lincoln'S courage and
indomitable spirit in supremacy of
the United States government.
More than anything else" Her
ring said, the nation needs re-
turn to the plain and homely liv-
ing that marked an earlier age"
Pleas for New Courage
Governor Horner read Lincolns
farewell address to Springfield as
he departed to assume the presi-

ton lin It's present adversely to find
new courage in the wisdom, faith
and ideals of Abraham Lincoln.
From his sacrifices let us take
inspiration to meet the grave and
stupendous problems that confront
our state and nation"
AS he presented Prince Potent
ana, Horner recalled that a stone
from the wall of the city of Rome
was sent Lincoln in 1865. The
prince viewed the stone when he
visited to tomb.
