MONTGOMERY PLAYERS
IN "MEN MUST FIGHT"
lingo and Pacifist Ideals Are Con.
f1icting Forces in Interest

Ing
THE MONTGOMERY PLAYERS
= Saturday night opened their sea-
son and the local little theater' sea
son at Leland Junior High School
with an entertainingly presented per-
formance of Reginald Lawrence and
s. K Laurens Men Must Fight" a
treatise on war, patriotism and
pacifism.
Men Must Fight" sets up the op-
posing forces of rabid and misguided
patriotism, as reflected in Mrs. Chase,
who insists the country has been in
suited and should do battle. and
pacifism, personified in Mrs. Laura
Seward, wife of. the Secretary of
State. The forces are set in active
conflict through Peggy Chase. who
shares her mothers views, and her
f1ance, Robert Seward, opposed to war
as much as is his mother In the
end, young Bob goes to the wars. be-
cause it is the thing to do. he feels,
in spite of his opposite views on the
subject in the abstract. while Peggy,
now his wife, is won to pacifism when
it's brought right down to an indi-
vidual case.
Men Must Fight is an interesting
play-entertaining and holds atten-
tion-but the authors don't offer any
answers to the question they are dis
cussing. They don't win you over to
either side of their argument. Prob
ably their own views on war are best
indicated by Jose, South American
cook in the Seward home. who dashes
on home to get into the fight, know
ing not what the war is about or who
is fighting it. but knowing only that
his country calls him.
The Montgomery Players produc-
tion of the Lawrence Lauren drama.

by the fact that several players had

sions, won enthusiastic acclaim from
the audience. Nobody failed to get
his moneys worth in entertainment.

Peggy Chase stood far in the lead for
acting honors. She was little stiff
through the first act, but then loosened
up and got some depth and emotion
into her playing. Jane Plummer Rice

and j. A. Bishop did a neat Swedish
butler. j. Henry Litzelman got a
hand for his brief Jose. but we'd like

Problems in Contract Bridge

Yet that is exactly what lot Of
bridge players do in the play Of
the hand at contract.
They throw away their entries
into either dummy or their own

hands as flexible as possible.

days hand, North's overcau Of one
diamond after West has doubled a
club is a weakness bid. 1t does
not show strength. 1t really says,

it is safer to play the hand at a
diamond"
East has to allow his partner to
play the contract at three no
trump, even though he has a seven
card suit. He has bid hearts twice.
When he bid three hearts. he
told his partner that he did not
want to play the hand at no trump,
but when his partner insisted on no
trump, he properly passed.
