INA CLAIRE'S PLAY
A correspondent inquiries why
this pillar calls Helen Hayes Wash
ington's First Lady of the Stage
when Ina Claire is around. :. Must
I take sides in this dispute or is it
just a difference of opinion. It
leads up to the fact that Ina Claire
is rehearsing again for the New
York Theatre Guild play, "The
End of Summer" by S. N. Behr-
man; and I hope it is better than
Love Is Not So Simple" which
had Miss Claire and Dennis King
and which closed a few nights
after I saw it in Philadelphia.
Closed without regrets. Ina Claire
has a Theater Guild contract
which calls for $1,000 a week and
percentage with 20 weeks a season
guaranteed. So the Guild hopes,
as do, that the new Claire play
will be a success, with my further
hope that washington will get this
first night. For I love Ina Claire
as an actress, as much as the
girls like to see what she wears.

 Declarer now paused to take i'm ventory. He reasoned that South should have all the outstanding high cards for his opening bid. and so he decided to abandon Q dia- fond finesse in favor of a squeeze on South.
 The ace of diamonds was cashed and all the hearts were played out, East discardins everything but the spades. South let go of two dia, moflds and a spade, but on the last heart lead he was squeezed in all three suits.
 TO discard 6 spade would estab- fish declarer's hand. He decided to let go of the queen of clubs.
 The last club was led from dunn. my and subjected South to still another squeeze. Whatever his dis card, declarer would make six odd for top score on the hand. Copyright. 1885. NEA Service. Inc
