MARY P|CKFORD,
DOUG WE'D IS
YEARS AGO
Both, in Past, Always Denied
Separation Rumors; Romance
Praised in Film Colony

HOLLYWOOD, CAL, July 3
G.NS0.-The love story Of
Doug" and Mary reads like a
Hollywood scenario-all save the
unhappy ending.
The romance began more than
13 years ago when Mary Pickford
was already established as the
"First Lady" of the screen and
Douglas Fairbanks was becoming
one Of the most popular heroes Of
the silent films. 80
The two were married on March
81, 1920. Soon they set about
building their 100000 home,
"Pickfair," as they plunged on
ward in their careers.
Then Came the Break
For 10 years they worked con-
stantly, amassing fortunes and
emerging as the unquestioned So
cial leaders of the movie set.
The talkies came, and other
stars Of silent films fell by the
wayside-but not so with Douglas
and Mary. The medium Of sound
only opened new fields to con-
Quer.
But three years ago Doug grew
tired of the klieg lights and
exacting routine Of the movie
studios.
There were vague reports that
the link that had bound them
together-common love Of the
films-had snapped. Hollywood
asked:
what has happened to
Mary. what has happened to
Doug?"
And the answer was that Doug
wanted to play golf and loaf
and that Mary wanted to go on
working.
England and Orient
Doug, it seemed, didn't care If
he ever made another picture.
Mary, superb actress and busi-
ness woman, could never desert
that Pickering celluloid that had
brought her fame and wealth and
position.
Even in 1880 there were rumors
Of divorce-promptly squelched by
intimates of the pair.
The occasion was their first
real separation in 10 years Of
ideal married life. Doug went to
England to see Bobby Jones win
another golf championship, and
Mary stayed home to work.
He telephoned her every day,
but the report that there was
trouble in "Pickfair" persisted.
"That's the annual 'lie,' and
here's our combined emphatic
annual denial" was the way
Doug dismissed the rumorS.
In 1881, Doug was shooting
tigers in the Orient and Mary
was alone in "Pickfair" on their
anniversary, and the report Of
separation flared anew.

Collective Bargaining, Gen.
Johnson Is Informed

BY International News Service
Assurance Of early stabilization
Of the coal industry was given
Hugh s. johnson, industrial re-
covery administrator, today by
the United Mine Workers Of
America.
The mining group told John
son that miners in all Of the
country's bituminous coal dis
tricts were organized and ready
to enter into collective bargain
ing with their employers. Pre-
diction Of a speedy agreement
between miners and operators af-
ter a joint conference was voiced.
Thousands Join
Thousands Of miners were
joining the group, President
John L. Lewis reported. The
right to organize and bargain
collectively, under the terms of
the Industrial Recovery Act was
moulding mine workers of many
States into a well-knit group.
Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Colo.
RADIO, Utah, Montana, Washing
ton, Wyoming and New Mexico
were cited by Lewis as districts
/ in which organization among the
miners was lacking heretofore.
Central Pennsylvania now is 100
per Get organized, he said, with
the Pittsburgh district practically
organized to the same extent.
Textile Code Ready
Progress also was reflected in
such fully organized districts as
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and other
coal areas, Lewis said.
President Roosevelt will receive
the cotton textile code, first of
those to be developed under the
industrial recovery act, late today.
Although he is known to desire
the code in effect at the earliest
possible date because it is the first
and therefore a trial Of the entire
plan, he is expected to withhold it
until he he can put a group Of
several industrial codes in sinul-
taneous operation.
While notifications are antici-
pated, these probably will be in
the form of additional regulations
Tightening up the code and gen.
orally inSuring it's workability.

that, there is nothing further

Friends Of Miss Pickford indi'
Gated the "next move Is up to
Douglas" If he expresses a de-
sire for divorce, Miss Pickford
will probably take steps to that
end.
AS yet no attorney has been
consulted regarding the possibility
Of divorce, nor has the matter Of
where the decree will be obtained
been discussed.
Still Loves Him
However, it was recalled that
Miss Pickford divorced her first
husband, owen Moore, In Ne
vada.
Friends Of Miss Pickford de-
clared she is still very much in
love with Douglas. She told q
friend:
"I love my husband. I don't
want to say there will be =
divorce. Divorce from some
one you love as dearly and
tenderly as have loved
Douglas for sixteen years is an
almost unbearabIe thought. I
don't want to hurt Douglas. /
couldn't do anything to hurt
him any more than could
hurt my brother or mother or
any one else I love-"
The separation of Miss Pick
ford and Fairbanks follows by
two months the divorce obtained
by Joan Crawford, glamorous
movie star, from Douglas Fair
banks, Jr.. son of Fairbanks by
his first wife. Miss Crawford
filed suit in Los Angeles and OBJ
tanned the decree on the grounds
Of incompatability.
Follows Nobility
Friends said the rift between
Miss Pickford and the senior
Fairbanks has been growing dur
ing the past few years. Fair
banks has spent much Of his time
on world tours, basking in the
highest social circles of England
and Europe.
Recently, it was reported, he
sent Miss Pickford a cablegram
from abroad informing her that
If she wished to maintain their
palatial home on top of one Of
the hills looking down on Holly
wood and Los Angeles, she must
bear the expense alone.

"When the world works out

in the means and in the result.
Here also temporary exchange

We must rather mitigate exist

the exchange Of products which
one nation has and the other

"The conference was called
to better and perhaps to cure
fundamental economic ills. 1t
must not be diverted from that
effort"
Considered Ultimatum
President Roosevelt's statement
in fact was an ultimatum to thu
conference to concern itself with
the objectives for which it wal
called and to confine itself tc
subjects on the agenda.
The result was an electric
shock for the French and a les
ser shock to the British, WHIT

whether the French will make
good their threat to bolt thu
conference unless they have theil
way.
The whole French thesis l1a1
been that it is useless to discuss
anything until the dollar is sta
bilized. President Roosevelt hal
challenged that thesis in unmis
taxable terms, and it has put
the French in an extremely EN-
barrassing diplomatic position.
The French will either have tx
backtrack on their whole StanC
or reaffirm it at the cost o!
breaking up the conference.

BRIDGE BIDDING
NEARLY PERFECT
D. c. Inventor of New Sys-
tenn and Associate Praised
on Accomplishment.

That puzzled and befogged sector Of
the Capital which plays contract bridge
and is just coming out Of the ether
occasioned by the new contract rules
and scoring counts today has q new
bridge bidding system before 1t, almost
automatic in its game approach and
claimed by its sponsors to be absolutely
infallible, except in the case OF freak
h2nds or unusual card distribution. The
new system is the invention of a Wash
ington bridge expert, Samuel Gutten-
plan, of 1852 Montague street. who has
been associated with Samuel Dworin in
its development. They have placed the
new system before numerous bridge ex-
perts and contract teachers in the Capt.
tai and according to them all these
experts have pronounced the plan the
best yet devised for sound contract
bidding arriving at game, arriving at
slam contracts and, in all, playing
sound contract bridge.
Changes Accepted.
It has only been q few weeks since
bridge headquarters in New York an
nounced a new set of rules, or rather
q STRENGTHENING and codif1cation Of
rules frequently broken, together With
. new system Of counting penalties and
over scores above contract. These new
rules have been accepted by most
Washington bridge players and now are
In use, together with the new counting
system. Now comes an entirely new
system of bidding. claimed to be auto
matte in operation and infallible in
arriving at the maximum bidding
strength of partners hands. Mr.. Gut
tenplan and Mr. Dworin claim to have
played thousands of hands using the
new bidding system. called the Gutten-
plan system" and claim to have satisfied
themselves and other washington bridge
experts Of the soundness Of the plan
and its superiority over other bidding
systems.
The new system utilities q wheel. the
cutter circle Of which explains the open

to honor tricks in the bidding hand.
The inner circle or wheel explains the
response which must be made by
partner. and the bidding II progressive

both hands is revealed by the bidding
to reach game or slam contract.
0OnA Nh Trumnn Eliminated

INV ANV ~-.~~~'
The system eliminates the uninforma-
tive opening bid Of one no trump, but
goes on from an opening suit bid to the
maximum bidding strength Of the four
hands. BY its use Is claimed automatic
bidding operation and elimination Of
Wading through a complicated set Of
rules and exceptions to rules, which
tend to slow up the bidding unless the
players have memorized them all Many
of the conventional rules are followed,
such as the necessity for one and one
half tricks and supporting trump
strength to keep the bidding open, and
the conventional one-no-trump reply to
partners suit bid with bust hand or
holding of less than one and one-half
honor tricks. Defensive bids cannot
be made without q minimum OF two
and one-half tricks, with all these mat
tiers of bidding showing on the wheel,
which Is kept in front Of the players.
. Here Is an example Of the bidding:
A hand holding three tricks, regardless
of suit, bids one diamond If partners
hand holds one and one-hAlf tricks he
bids one heart, or If he holds two and
one-half tricks he bids two spades. The
second bid by the original bidder, after
partner has shown his honor strength,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1933-03-09

is the true biddable suit. II that suit
is desirable to the partner and he holds
normal support he either assumes .
game contract or shows his suit.
Those washington bridge experts who
have played the 0uttenplan system pro
nounce 1t the most accessible and by
far tho easiest to follow Of any Of the
systems yet devised to teach the game
to experts and buffers alike.
