therefore, most defensive players would try to stop declarer from ruffiing clubs. Haddad figured that as his partner had doubled hearts, he held at least four and had pos- sibly 8 club trick. So, instead of returning heart, Hadded imme- diately decided to try to create a club trick for his partner and re- turned the ten of clubs.
 West played the queen and de- clarer won the trick with the ace. Declarer led a small heart from dummy, East played the ten and declarer won the trick with the jack.
 Declarer now reasoned that East was probably out of hearts and made nice play by leading a small club. West won the trick with the king.
 At this point, if West returns either 8 heart or club, the con- tract can be made. However, West returned the queen of diamonds, which declarer won with the king and now, regardless of what de- clarer does, he will have to lose either a club or Q heart trick to West. This fine defense defeated the contract one trick.

Just One Way to Win Here Game Contract That Can Be Defeated - But It Calls for Intelligent
 Play by the Defense
Solution to Previous Contract Problem

In the days of national auction championship tournaments, mid- western and especially Cleveland players were rated the favorites. Today, however. eastern players are the high favorites in contract tour naments.
 This. I believe, is due to the fact that the eastern players are by far the better bidders, while midwest ern players depend upon their great playing ability to pull them through.
 At the forthcoming Western States championship tournament, which will be held in Cincinnati, Sept. 25 to 28, great exhibition of card playing should be given by these fine midwestern players.
 In today's hand, L. J. Haddad of Chicago, president of the American Bridge league. and Charles A. Hall

And for one to let his emotions 60 free invites
the danger of becoming maudlin.''
Charles Laughton is in the early forties. A
sensitive, refined man, he is direct as rain
in speech and manner. He was born in Scar
borough, England. When he was little fellow
he lived under the dire parental threat that if
he did not behave he would grow up to be an
actor.
His boyhood may be described as sensi-
tive lads struggle against the preconceived
notions of small town environment. England
also has its Main Streets" down which
people of talent and spirit early beat their
wings in vain - as they do in cities.
A lad in middle class Scarborough was
expected to become respected and substan-
tial citizen. Acting was not among the honored
professions.
Laughton might become an officer in the
army or navy, barrister or doctor Any
thing but an actor!
His growth today is evidence that he could
not be made to fit into mold
He was sent to prep" school. 81 was con-
sidered a nasty little fat boy"

r TE is the only successful actor ever
to renounce Hollywood at the
zenith of his career. When it was
u announced that he was going to
England to play in the screen version of the
immortal "Cyrano de Bergerac." Hollywood
learned that his contract stipulated that he
be allowed to play abroad on stage or screen
for six months of each year.
THE best way to retain ones perspective"
he said. lis not to allow Hollywood to get
too much in the blood" And then. with
wry smile, in 'Cyrano de Bergerac' become
lover at last - true, very ugly lover with
long nose but - ah - lover at last"
The word genius" is as common as ego in
Hollywood. 1t might possibly be applied to
Charles Laughton. Heis. perhaps. the greatest
actor in the world. More versatile than Chap
ln he is more profound. He is the most
superior man l have met in films
With wide and understanding knowledge
of literature and the arts he brings intelli-
gence to such different roles as Henry VIII
and Ruggles of Red Gap. He is in every
sense of the word mental actor His

brain fuses with his heart, and makes of him
that rarest of earths phenomena, great
actor who is also great man. The former
English scullery boy has gone far and bril-
liant way in the land of make believe.
He turned down the role of Micawber in
David Copperfeld" because II don't like
Dickens. He writes so thoroughly of all his
leading characters that he leaves the actor
Evening star., 1935-11-03

1t might be inferred that world famous
man making such statement had suffered
in childhood.
He still tells, with a tinge of remembered
mirth and sorrow, of developing phobia over
the back of village constable's neck He
loathed the red muscular partition between
the officers head and shoulders and early
avoided His Britannia Majestys guardian of
the law.
When older, he saw the man become tender
to lost child, and realized that he was
merely pawn in the whirligig of destiny like
himself. "After all the poor fellow had to
have neck"
Though he was the butt of ridicule, the
nasty little fat boy" had golden dream in
his head He would become great actor
At twelve he was in prep" school at
Stonyhurst College in Lancashire His parents
fondly hoped that their chubby little land
lubber would win the right to enter the British
navy as cadet.
The nasty little fat boy" had no such
ambition. If he could but stir the hearts of
nation, he cared not who won its wars
He was brought before the British Ad-
miralty. 1t was their duty to select the future
Nelson's of the sea.
Not wanting to be an admiral, the embryo
actor came before his mighty judges. All the
ships in the British navy had not supplied
them with sense of humor.
Oliver Twist asking for more poridge
could not have been whit more pathetic
than seemed the boy with the fat jowls and
the forlorn expression. Far away ships rocked
at his stupidity.
"Who was John Paul Jones1" was the
question.
THAT was Lord Nelson's name before he
lost his leg" blithely chirped the rot,nd
youngster.
The Admiralty Board gazed in wonder.
Was it possible1 Were they awake or asleep?
They looked from one to another, while the
nasty little fat boy" who did not want to be
an admiral stared straight ahead.
One sighed, then the other. The ships at
sea became calm
is it possible that such boy lives on fair
Albion's shores?" one finally asked another.
With the solemn expression of his later

unless they were thinking their roles as well.
Emotion is essential, but l am convinced
that acting is also matter of thought, plus
the assurance that comes with experience.
II have moderate degree of confidence in
the workings of my mind - not so much in
the steady dependability of the emotions
"If l could trust myself to hold fast rein
on the emotions. there should be more humor
in the pathos of my character and vice versa.
But / fear constantly that to inject more wit
here and there would also demand more emo
tion in order to strike that balance of values
