 David Belasco's "Kili," is being presented by the Post Road players this week with evening perform ances at 8:45. Dorothy Burgess is the guest star and is well known for her many star performances on the screen as well as on the stage. Deed Herring, a member of the company, has the supporting role this week.
 Because of the popularity in last weeks show, Onward Bound" Ed- gar Barrier is again appearing this week. Jeanette Chinley, who is do- ing splendidly this year has the role of an actress who is passing her peak.
 The play is about little French gamin in the chorus of a music hall who falls in love with the manager of the hall. The manager pays no attention to her. Kiki is of the spite full and yet sweet character. Through various wiles she finally gets into the managers house and refuses to leave. The manager realizes that his divorced wife, Madam Paulette, played by Miss Chinley, who has been starred in his productions for over 10 years, that she has no more appeal to the public and tries to straighten out the various compli- cations which are confronting her. The cycle of Victor Renal, and Madam Paulette; Xxi and the man. ager, is most interesting, as one is trying to get rid of another.

In such 8 case it does not neces- sarily follow that partner has 8 bust hand. He may be short the strength for a free bid, or may be anxious to play against opponents suggested contract. In either case 8 double by the opening bidder will disclose the true situation.
 West, with good i've card suit and an outside king-queen, could not be blamed for his overcall. Lighter ones are made without pen- alty every day. Over his bid, North himself was not strong enough to double, nor could he make another bid, and East, of course, had nothing to say.
 South had choice. He might bid 6 spade, or double and see what his partner had to offer. He wisely chose the latter course, and North, with his four hearts, an ace and @ queen outside, and shortage in his partners suit, left the double in for penalties.
 The opening diamond lead was won by South with the queen, who now returned his club. This the de- clarer wisely read as & doubleton, and when North permitted the king to hold the trick, he led round of trumpS.
 In this way he was able to make i've tricks, going down 500 points. Had he not taken two rounds of trumps when he obtained the lead, he would have won only four tricks, as South would have ruffed . club. While North and South could prob- ably have a game in no trump, the penalty was at least as great, and the risk much less.
