 Americans In Principal Roles
 MT. Stokes and I are most for- tunate in having for the pr0duc~ ton of Merry Mount" the vast re- sources, musical and tecmnicaI of the Metropolitan Opera House; in having such great artist as TulliO Serafin prepare and conduct this performances; in having such dis tinguished artists to interpret the various roles; in having such q magnificent chorus-for in a sense the chorus is itself a solist to which again and again Is allotted the setting of the emotional quality of scene and of building it's cli- max. And the ballet, also, is an in- trinsic dramatic implement. The opera itself is essentially spec tacular, with the scenery designed by Jo Mielziner and painted by Joseph Novak.
 Such cast as MT. Gatti-c -casazza has provided could not be duplicat- ed in any opera house in the world All but one of the principals are Americans. Lawrence Tibbett will be Wrestling Bradford; Goeta Ljungberg. Lady Marigold sandys; Edward Johnson, Sir Cover Lack land; Gladys Swarthout, Plentiful Tewke: Arthur Anderson, Praise ! God Tewke; Arnold Gabor, Faint Not Tinker; James Wolfe, Samoset; and the other roles will be filled by Irra Petina, Giordano Paltrinieri, Alfredo Gandolfi, Helen Gleason. Henriette Wakefield, Marek Wind helm, Louis D'Angelo, Milo Picco, Max Altglass and Pompilio Malates- ta. Giulio Setti has trained the cho- rus; the dances have been devised by Rosina Galli, and Wilhelm von Wymetal, Jr., will be the stage di- rector.

Rule Is Broken To Win Exception To Standard Practice Enables Declarer To Ward Off Defeat In
 No Trump Contract.

As general rule, when you have long suit with two honors in one hand and one in the other, and you are starting to set up that suit, the proper play is to leaS from the. hand containing the two honors, with the higher of those honors. However, there are ex- captions to that rule, and that Is the key play in to-day's hand.
 Vests opening lead was the three of hearts. The first trick should be won in dummy with the king in case the declarer wishes to lay off one heart trick.
