 East, holding three high card tricks and Q long suit, made a clubs. South, even though he was vulnerable, felt that his distribu- ton was worth showing so bid three diamonds.
 West realized that this partners jump shift forcing bid showed three to three and one-half tricks; and he himself held three and one half tricks plus queen. So he de- cided that South was in for q grand slnughtering. especially since he was vu.nerab!e-and doubled.

Hollywood = A premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theater is a signal for the elite of Hollywood to burst forth in an array of gala splendor. A more bizarre setting is hard to misunderstanding studio arc lights and milling throngs forming the background for the beautifully gowned women and their escorts.
 To a degree, story of the Chinese theater must of necessity be a story of Sid Grammar, its builder. It is the fourth theater built in this city by the sowman. And each in turn has enjoyed its position at the top of the theater pinnacle. Each has been the home of brilliant premieres.
 The Chinese Theater is what It's name implies. From itsN architec- ture, inside and out, right down to the usherets with their black wigs and embroidered pajamas. 1t car ries out the Chinese theme.
 Situated on Hollywood Boule- yard, the Chinese Theater is an tm- posing sigfiht such as one would find only in a town built on make believe. The three-door entrance sits far back from the street, open ing off huge. palm -studed fore court.
 On either side of tho forecourt adjacent to the sidewalk are the gray stucco fronts of the build- ing, set off with dark gray stone corners. Two Chinese style tow CTS rise above the building on each side.
 In the center, towering above the entrance, is & wide, green slate tower, also of Chinese architecture. The same decorative scheme Is car ried out with paintings and mas- ques adorning the supporting pill lars.
 Scattered about the spacious fore court and imprinted right in the cement are the hand and foot prints of many Hollywood notables. Among those represented in this "hall of fame' are Mary Pick ford, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fair banks, Gloria Swanson, Marion Davies. Janet Gaynor, Norma and Constance Talmadge, William s. Hart, Harold Lloyd. Eddie Cantor the four Marx Brothers and Tom Mix and Tony: his horse.
