5000 Be. RAZOR
Greek Minister, SiciIIianos,
Displays Collection of
Art Treasures.

A stone razor used by an extinct
people in 5000 BIC and q trans
parent stone, cup-shaped bowl are
among the valuable and priced curio
collection of Minister Demetrios Sicil-
lianos of Greece.
Collection of art treasures, includ-
ing rugs, paintings, exquisite en-
broidery work, dishes and carvings ex-
cavated from ruins of ancient cities,
has filed an important part in the
Minister'S life. Yesterday he dis
played part Of his vast collection.
Worn, but still quite sharp. the
stone razor is, indeed, a prize. 1t
was excavated by Seager, an American
explorer, on the Isle of Nochlos near
Crete about 1902. he explained. The
fine craftsmanship depicted by this
and other curios found at the time
showed evidence. Minister Sicillianos
said, Of an ancient people unknown
even to historians Of his historical
country.
Taken From Palace Of Kn0ssos.
"They were taken from the Palace
Of Knossos," he related. after ex-
palace was even larger than those of
my people. Three were unearthed in
ALL"
But the Minister'S collection did not
stop there. Other rarities from all
sections Of the world decorated the
ministry at 1920 Twentieth street.
Included among these were chests
OF embroidery work estimated to be
more than 200 years old, and done
in elaborate design and unfading
colors. Chiefly, the work is that Of
the island people off the coast Of
Greece.
Small statues Of clay were exhibited
in cabinets. Some had been broken
and pieced together, while some were
almost perfectly preserved. They
were estimated to have been made at
different periods, ranging from 300
BIC. to 100 BIC.
Another possession was that of a
part of funeral relief, excavated on
the sacred road leading to Athens.
1t dated back to the period of 430 BIC.
Chinese Works Among Treasures.
Numerous other art treasures were
valuable Chinese works in porcelain.
Also an ancient game similar to chess,
with the figures hand d-carved in ivory.
Minister Sicillianos pointed out
plateware centuries old from a num-
Der of countries. mostly European.
A confirmed bachelor, the Minister
has devoted large portion of his
life to this end. In all he has been
in the diplomatic service some IA
years.
He is the author of book on icons.
A number of them grace the ministry
walls.
Il never tire of increasing my COL
lection" he concluded. In them I
find much of the beauty Of life"

Mr.. BurnStine


The queen of clubs was opened and
won by dummys ace. Mr.. Burnstein
now led the three of trumps and East
played the seven. Which card did
Mr.. Buynstine play from his own
hand, and why?
Mr. Burnstine played the ace of
diamonds. This constituted a safety
play and was designed to give him
the best chance of fulfilling his con-
tract.
Suppose West had held the singleton
king of diamonds. The ace would drop
the king, and now Mr.. Burnstine would
return to dummy and flnesse against
the jack, thereby making grand slam.
Suppose West had held the singleton
jack of diamonds. The ace would drop
the jack, and now he would lose only
the king of diamonds.
Suppose West were void of diamonds.
This would show up by the play Of the
ace, and Mr.. Burnstine' would now
lead diamonds twice more from
dummy, losing only to the king.
Suppose West had a singleton small
diamond. Mr.. Burnstine would return
to dummy and lead, thereby trapping
the jack and losing only to the king.
The actual holdings were:

Mr.. Schenken.

West opened the king Of clubs
against a seven-diamond contract.
We would like you all to plan your
own play of this hand before going
over the reasoning Mr.. Schenken fol-
lowed in adopting his line Of play.
The basis of Mr.. Schenken's rea-
soning was that he wished to play
the hand so as to succeed against
the greatest possible number Of COM
binations of adverse cards. Obviously,
should trumps break two and two.
and spades four and three. the hand
would be o spread, and there would
be no need Of the heart hnesse. Also.

Evening star., 1936-05-31

As the reader will note, Mr.. Burn
stine's play of the ace resulted in the
hand being a spread. However, had
Mr.. Burnstine finessed either the
queen or the ten on the first lead, he
would have had a problem on the
next round as to whether to f1nesse
or drop the other honor. BY means
of the safety play of the ace, this
guess had been eliminated.
We shall now try you out on some
thing considerably harder-a hand
played by Howard Schenken in the
final round match in which we sue
cessfully defended the Spingold Cup,
emblematic of the Masters Team-of-
Four championship Of the United
States.

Suin gtirne Santa Claus Visits
Celebrities Along Broadway
Helen Hayes Gets a Coal Scuttle From
Ruth GOrdOn-RObinsOns Purchase
Fine Pictures Worth SI2O.OOO.

NEW YORK, December 26.-Judg-
ing from q quick peek at the loot,
Santa Claus went to town in swing
time on Broadway.
The presents ranged all the way
fromsa coal scuttle for Helen Hayes
to 100000 worth Of pictures for Ed
ward G. Robinson.
Well, perhaps the coal scuttle was
not the bottom. Russell Grouse, au-
thor of Anything Goes" and the cur
rent hit musical. Red, Hot and Blue, =
seems to have topped that in moth
ingness. He gave his writing wife,
Alison Smith, a note telling her that
he had Christmas gift all picked out
for her. but wouldn't buy 1t until the
post Christmas sales in the depart
ment stores. She must have antici-
pated it, for what he found in his
sock this morning was a note covered
with ditto marks.
The Robinsons made this Christ
mas the biggest OF their combined
lifetimes with the purchase OF paint
ings by Corot. Picasso, Gauguin and
Cezanne. But said Mr.. Robinson,
they didn't f1t into the family stock
ings, so he had TO 60 out and buy
some more conventional things, toys
for Amanny. his son, and jewels for
his wife. THE pictures were for the
whole family" he said. IF tried
to get away with them alone I'd be
marked up like the fellow who bought
his wife new washboard for their
anniversary"
Asked for Coal Scuttle.
Helen Hayes got the coal scuttle by
pre-arrangement. but it came as a
surprise nevertheless. A few days ago
Ruth Gordon, her dearest rival on
the stage, called up and confessed she
did not know what TO buy her for
Christmas. MY goodness" said Miss
Gordon, you've got everything you
want. You've even got a mink coat
