In that convalescent stage Of in

happy that the long period of
suspense is over, that the reSpon-
sibility for the picture now tests
upon the shoulders Of another
Sol Lesser, who has agreed to cut
and release the film on a per-
centage basis.
Sinclair says:
"Eisenstein went down to
Mexico to make a travelOgue, to
be gone four months at most.
He ended up by staying IA
months, by shooting nearly
225,OOO feet Of film and by
using three times as much
money as my friends had prom
ised him.

Sinclair admits that a number
Of individuals have attempted to

the undertaking himself, he de-
clares, but his wife contributed
considerable sum.

Not on the Ballot

Critics picked the 10 best pic

which includes productions given
general release UP to November
/, 1882.
That eliminated from consid-
Grafton such features as Strange
Interlude," "I'm q Fugitive from
a Chain Gang" "Sign Of the
Cross" 'Rasputin and the Em.
press" "Cavalcade" and ''Maed.
chen in Uniform" which might
have been favorites in the vot-
ing. They will be voted on next
year.
Farewell to Arms" was on the
list, but only a minority Of crit
les saw the picture before ballot
ing. It was not released in key
cities until a fortnight ago. Ac-
cordingly it will be repeated on
the 1928 list Of productions.
'tMaedchen in Uniform" q Ger
man produced picture, is one
that drives critics overheard with
ecstasy. It has GerTnaA dialogue
but English subtitles. ScribeS in
key cities and particularly the
intellectual ones-go overheard in
praise Of "Maedchen." So far the
reaction Of the general public has
not been as enthusiastic.

That Certain Touch
NoN the one thing in the
world that I should never do
IS to bet on any sort Of en-
counter. BY some miracle or
other, I have but to place q
wager on one individual-and
before anyone knows what has
happened his opponent always
romps home. Then, too, I am
forever betting on the long shot
in any game.
But somehow or other,sI am
never quite strong enough to
resist temptation when the
odds are long enough. And in
this particular case not only
would the odds be long, but I
also had the distinct advantage
Of knowing that Mr.. Ara was
by no means q bum in the ring.
I had seen him fight twice in
New York and, while I cannot
recall his opponents at the mo
ment, I remember being highly
impressed with his work. And
I also remember that he. had q
terrific punch that, II it
landed, would have knocked
any middleweight in the world
unconscious.
So I put down my paper and
told myself that I was going
to make a bet. You'd be sur
prised how nicely / can talk to
myself now. It's q habit I've
4 acquired since I left New York.
Later in the day, as I sat in
my favorite Paris harroom and
drank my customary glass Of
milk, I remembered the fact
that I wanted to make a bet.
So I summoned the proprietor,
with whom I had become quite
friendly.
"What's the best way to get
4 bet down around here?" I
inquired. 1--WE got q hunch on
that fight tomorrow night and
I want to lose a little money.
I want to bet that Ara knocks
out Thil."
Some Excitement
,ba The proprietor's eyes almost
popped from his head.
"Are you insane?' he asked,
lust as though he didn't know.
''Don't be q fool, viii you?
Don't you know that the game
here is as crooked as it can
be, especially when q French
man is fighting q foreigner?
Why, it's worse than 1t Is in
America!"
'sBe that as it may" ! re-
piled casually. 81 still have my
hunch. I'm not betting heavily.
A thousand francs are enough.
Let's see: that makes $40. Yes,
that's plenty. But listen-I
must have odds Of at least
eight-to-one, I know, because
I'm betting against practically q
sure thing. But I'll take eight"
The proprietor arose.
"I'l see what I can do" he
promised. "But you're just toss
ing your money away"
He went from table to table
and ! noticed that, as he
talked. people began to look
in my direction. I felt slightly
uncomfortable and decided to
leave. AS I struggled into my
coat, the courtroom girl wagged
q finger at me.
Monsieur Is q foolish man."
she stated. Everything is fix
for Tlil to win tomorrow night.
Why you bet 10000 francs so

The News Spreads
BY some mysterious means
that will never be able to ex-
plain, the word spread like
wildfire. Before was fully
aware the following morning
two Of my friends had phoned
me. One Of them had heard
that I was betting 20, 900 francs
on the fight; the other was
positive that I had already
placed 10000 francs and was
looking for more.
The payoff arrived when the
waiter marched in to serve
breakfast. He spilled half the
orange juice in my lap and
apologized by stating that 1t
was because he was nervous
for me. I asked him what the
devil he was talking about.
"The fight tonight" he re-
turned. Monsieur will pardon
my holiness, but I must tell
him that everything is not
how you say?-on the up and
up in the box over here. Thil
must win. And monsieur should
not bet such large sums against
him"
I leaned back,
'"Will you kindly tell me-" I
asked, "how much I am bet
ting?"
81 have. heard" he returned
promptly, "that it is $4,000
francs"
I yawned.
you're wrong" I returned.
The sum is 100000 francs.
Please stop making a piker out
of me-"
Four to One Odds
Well, after my phone rang
all day and betting folks raced
in and out of my room for
hours, I finally got my bet
down just two minutes before
the fight began. The biggest
odds I could get were four-to-s
one. So I bet my thousand
francs against four thousand
that Mr.. Ara would knock out
Mr.. Thil.
I had to put up my $40 in
advance, and I never saw the
gentleman with whom I was
betting. And all this, you must
remember, finally happened af.
ter q day Of great excitement
during which-although I was
accused Of wagering fantastic
amountS-it seemed as if there
We're not one in all Paris who
was willing to cover my poor
$40.
Mr.. Thil, Of course, won the
fight. Mr.. Ara has lost what
punch he once had and, after
the third round, Mr.. Thil won
as ne pleased. Thil, incidentally,
IS far and away the best man
IN his class and will unuueS-.
tionably beat anybody we might
send over at the present time.

dummy. MT Schenken played the six spot. The jack was now led from the dummy.
 Which diamond would you play from the West hand? If you cover with the queen the declarer will refuse to win,. so that he may hold the king, nine-over your ten, eight. Therefore 1t looked as if the proer lay would be a small dia- mond, thereby blocking the suit for the declarer.
 All North could do then would be to lay the seven of diamonds from dummy. When the ten is played by West, North would have to win with the king and the bal- ance of the diamonds would be lost.
 However, Mir Schenken figured otherwise. He reasoned that If he did not cover the diamond, the de- clarer would probably lead another diamond and then start the heart suit which Mir Schenken knew would establish easily as he held no honor. Therefore, he covered the jack of diamonds with the queen and North allowed him to hold the trick.
 But MT Schenken now returned a spade which knocks out dummy's ace. The declarer returns the seven of diamonds but all he can do Is to cash his diamond suit and the ace of hearts. And the contract has been defeated. one trick.
