II is natural that Hartford should bid
for the proposed memorial to Mark
Twain, the great American humorist. A
temporary organization to be known as
the Mark Twain Memorial Foundation
was accomplished in New York this week.
The memorial, already designed by Walter
Russell, consists of seven sculptural groups
and twenty-one base reliefs surrounding
a circular enclosure, the floor made OF
mosaics representing Twain books. II
would be fitting accompaniment to the
Clemens home In Hartford.

Already the Rialto Is buzzing
with schemes for me- autumn.
Lee Shubert, Max Gordon and Jed
Harris are In Europe rounding up
plays and foreign talent; though
Harris also Is trying to sign Doug
las Fairbanks, Jr., for a dramatic
engagement. William A. Brady,
now the dean of Broadway pro-
ducers. has contracted for a couple
of London successes. And three OF
Europe's most famous actresses,
Gertrude Lawrence, Yvonne Prin-
temps and Elizabeth Bergner. have
agreed to appear here. For the two
latter stars 1t will be an American
debut.
There's a feeling among show
men that domestic stars, nearly
all OF whom have been In the
movies, are less attractive than
celebrated foreigners to the top
price theater patrons. Imported
talent always provides material for
spirited argument at dinner par
ties. And unanmity OF opinion Is
a very hard thing for the boiled

have been sitting around agreeing
dispiritedly that Huston. Hayes,

the characters but also the many adults who attended.
 The entire production, costumes, scenery and makeup were taken care of by members of the Junior League and regret has been ex- pressed that the play is not to be repeated in this city although the local group will journey to Stam- ford in the future to present the play before the Stamford League and the children of Stamford.
 Perhaps one of the most appeal ing characters in the play was Miss Margaret deLancey who took the role of Friar Tuck and accounted for many of the laughs which the children had during the morning. Miss Betty Price was outstanding in her part of Maid Marion and Mrs Gerald Low created an amount of excitement in the role of Dor- othy and her shrill shouts gained definite reaction from the au- dience. Robin Hood, the robber who was ruler of Sherwood Forest, was portrayed by Mrs John Brodie.- Miss Elizabeth Nuhn was @ suc- cessful Alan-a-Dale.
 The scenes were especially well arranged and the intricate arrange ment of the castle and the forest gained the commendatiOn of the adults in the audience.
 Members of the committee in charge made the morning complete when at the close of the perform ance they distributed Jolly pops with children and grown ups con- Suming them with much delight.

CONTRACT BRIDGE
 BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the American Bridge ieague
Keep Eyes On Low Ones By Watching Drop Of Cards And Remembering What Is Outstanding Decarer
 Makes His Contract
Solution to Previous Contract Problem

I often have remarked that aces and kings are very nice cards to hold. but that they will win tricks for anybody. What you must do to win at bridge is to keep track of the small cards. If the declarer in today's hand had overlooked the small cards. his contract would have been defeated.
 West makes the natural opening lead of the jack of spades, which IS the lead that helps the declarer to make his contract if he observes the smal cards. He covers West E jack. with the queen in dummy.
 East wins with the ace and re- turns the five of spades, on which the declarer plays the seven. West the nine, and the trick is won in dummy with the king.
