Whether to play for a f1nesse or a squeeze play is frequent finesse problem at the, bridge table. The flnesse offers an exactly even chance to win or lose. but some times the play or discards of an opponent clearly show that finesse would be a loser.
 In that case. as well as many others. the bridge player will use the squeeze in preference.

Performance Divided
Into Past, Present,
Future Suites.

4 S THOROUGHLY American as
~ anything in the dance world
~ today was Ted shawns %
"A Libertad." performed last
night at Constitution Hall by an en-
Semble of eight male dancers with
Mr.. Shawn himself as the nucleus
Taking his que from the regional"
influence in all branches Of contempo-
rary art, the performance was divided
into three suites, Past" Present"
and Future" And so infallibly were
these suites united to the musical
score of Jess Meeker, they might well
be called movements.
The Past" showed us dance drama
in slow, triste mood. The narrative
in this movement was concerned with
the Aztec emperor making a firm
stand against Christianity by cutting
the heart out of a subject who refuses
to profess faith in the emperor's re-
ugion. There were other ensemble
sequences and on to the Gold Rush
of 49," which saved the entire first
suite from being lost in that psuedo-
modernistic manner.
THE Present" was q group of ath-
letic impressions, Fencing" Box
ing" 'Decathlon" and Basket Ball"
They were disguised and made little
pleasanter by musical accompaniment.
The suite was novel, yes, but not art.
Travelling under the banner of dance,
simply creating and sustaining an i'm
preston is not quite enough.
In Future" their last episode, that
desire for dance and dance content
alone was satisfied. Those gentle
men made dance history during the
entire finale. One brief trio in this
suite, called Residence" was a pre-
else, light, geometric design, tempered
by imagination and well-grounded
technique. And that number alone
was worth the price of admission.
"Apotheosis," which ended the eve
ming, returned to ballet for its in
spiration, a free sort of ballet tech
nique combined with strength and
given reason by Mr.. ShaWn's choreo-
graphic skill. 1t was an exhilarating
climax, as If it were life deifed.

and Dance Features.

'EiE Five Points Club Of the Inter-

sented a varied entertainment pro-
gram last evening in the departmental
auditorium, with song, dance and
drama sharing attention. The prin-
clpal Item was a repeat performance
by the Laboratory Little Theater, Dis
trict of Columbia Branch, League of
American Penwomen, of "The Gold
Madonna" new play by Mrs. Larz
Anderson.
Betty Cavanaugh, erstwhile starlet
Of Virginia c. Hunters revues. ap-
peared twice, offering an acrobatic
number in which she displayed
marked talent for control work, re-
turning later to sing and tap Copper
Colored Gal" and beat out the meas
ures of the poet and Peasant Over
ture." The last was hardly a novelty,
but youthful Miss Cavanaugh did
good job. Louise Webb accompanied
at the piano.
Two sopranos, one dramatic, the
other lyric, contributed the interludes
of song. Thelma La Dow rendered
I'm Bel di Vedrenio," by Puccini, and
Denza's "Se," during the formal pro-
gram, and two additional selections,
"Beggar Maid" and Smoke Gets in
Your Eyes" at the banquet which
preceded. Marion Leonard was at the
keyboard. The lyric soprano of Susan
Rice Oliver was heard in "L'AmOur,
Toujours L'Amour" and "Zigeuner,"
with Villa Semple as accompanies.
"Henry's HaWaiians-American mu-
sic" proved to be two guitarists, one
performing Oh the electric instrument.
Their appearance was short but sat-
lsfying. Ann ClaXton offered two
dance numbers. one Latin, one con-
ventional tap, with Mary Lehman at
the piano, while Myrabeth Reece and
Rose Royce added to the banquet with
their rhythm dances. Concerning

sun which presumably was created to
shine upon both the just and unjust.
Mr.. Reades valance in attempt
ing to bestow a form of justice which
he thinks the world needs is equaled
by those who interpret his idea. Some
good casting helps His Excellency"
over its more difficult moments.
There was Joseph Kallini, for in
stance, who gave very neat charac-
terlzatlon OF Reades Italian repre-
sentative. Or, if you are the type
with more definite picture of Japan
at the conference table, you might
find more merit in the work of Bob
Lewis as Admiral Daruma of the
imperial navy. The volatility of
Kalllni is matched by the dignfled,
knowing reserve of the admiral. OBJ
VlouSly he came to the conference
expecting nothing and went away
with two armfuls of just that.

THERE are no startling departures,
really, in the diplomats who sit
around the conference table. They
are the types you have read about
between the lines of news dispatches
for years. Indeed, they go SO far as
to look like the very ones you have
seen in the rotogravure sections.
although that may be due to the fact
that formal clothes have the effect
of eraSing the individual.
There's Robert Shayne, for in
stance. Mr.. Shayne, a former Central
High School student, is the secretary
to the American representative, played
by Frank Mccormack Both are as
good as their parts and so is Lii
Valenty, German exile and the only
woman in the play. Miss Valenty is
Russian delegate to the conference,
put there to prove that women of that
country have equality, but not en-
phaslzing the wisdom of it.
Reade's conception of a British
diplomat is that of stuffy old gentle
man full of perfldy and patriotism
1t is played that way by George
Graham
The future of His Excellency
which still is in the process of writ
ing, would seem to depend upon how
well Reade can draw lines through
existing dialogue rather than increase
the amount or improve it.
