North also cap see the possibility of the contract being made. He has only one high card and cer- tainly should not waste it, but should play small club on his partners opening lead.
 Now, if South is not afraid to take a chance, he will lead a small club, realizing that, unless North holds the queen of clubs, the con- tract cannot be defeated.
 Of course, North wins the second trick with the queen and now shifts to diamond, as directed by his partners play of small club. This gives South two diamond tricks, and the contract Is defeated one trick.
 If South had continued with the ace of clubs, instead of playing a small club, the contract would have been made. as East would have dis carded one of his losing diamonds on the long heart.

If you are afraid to take chance occasionally, you will never be a good bridge player. One thing to remember is that there are not rules in bridge that work every time.
 For example, in today's hand, North has a doubleton of the suit opened by his patner. Ordinarily, it is proper to play high-low, so that your partner vii give you ruff, when you have such hold ing, but you can see that this play is too dangerous.

Opera Singer Makes Screen
Debut in City at Circle
Theater.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

Movie producers are responsible
for tragic combination in Rose
of the Rancho" in bringing to-
gether Gladys Swarthout, quite the
loveliest singing lady the screen has
introduced in several years, and
story which is one of the most con-
fusing pieces film writer's recently
have thrown together. 1t opens at
the Circle today.
For If Miss Swarthout hadn't
been the star of. this picture it
might well have been relegated to
the provinces and shown as rou-
tine western thriller. In that cate
cory the film might rank fairly high.
There is plenty CT fighting and rid
ing, but some pretty bad acting.
The only reason we can see for
having given Miss Swarthout this
unwieldy opus for her first starring
vehicle is that she does have ample
opportunity to use her voice. And
1t is only fair to say that when Miss
Swarthout sings. it wouldn't make
much difference whether there is
plot. 1t is the best singing any
screen lady yet has presented. And
that despite the fact that Miss
Swarthout is a mezzo-soprano and
not the traditional soprano.
The story concerns Spanish
lady who DISCUSSES herself as &
leader of a band of yigilantes who
are striving to save the villas of
old Spanish dons, which are being
raided nightly by a gang of hood
lums whose leaders name is Kin
caid. The government, thinking the
vigilantes are the more undesirable
of the two bands, sends Jim Kear-
ney to arrest Don Carlos, vigilante
commander.
Agent Falls i'm Love
Kearney falls in love with the
beautiful Rosita, who by day is a
blushing senorita. He makes friends
with the Kincaid gang, and after
discovering who Don Carlos is, goes
over on her side and helps put an
end to the gangsters. That's about
all there is.
Another weak point in Rose of
the Rancho" is that John Boles
isn't as good as he has been.
On the credit side of Rose of the
Ranches" ledger is the work of
Willie Howard as Pancho Spiegel-
gass, Spanish Hebrew, who supplies
about all the comedy there is in
the picture. We are still wondering
why the producers wasted any film
on Herb Williams, who appears
here and there in the picture as an
insurance salesman with few old
jokes.
Music Is Excellent
The music in Rose OF the
Rancho" is so good that it stands
out like sore thumb. The best of
the songs is IF Should Lose You.
Miss Swarthout also sings Where
Is My Lover" and THE Padre and
the Bride"
MI. I1OWdIu Ids bWo SWCh CoAAA
edy songs, Got Gal in Cali
forn-i-a" and "The Lone Cowboy,
which he sings, Justify and well.
Miss Swarthouts beauty is the
dark and mellow type. She can act
when it's necessary. and sing any
time. We would like to see her
opposite Nelson Eddy.
Unfortunately this lovely lady,
whose future screen success is al
most inevitable, had to make her
debut in a picture which starts out
as a good shooting story and ends
up pretty we'll shot.
