At II tables South opened with a
bid of either four hearts or one heart.
In either instance the team arrived at
a contract of four hearts, which would
eppear to be the normal bid on the
hand. If hearts break, the game is
made. (The Four Aces bid on the
hand, in view of the vulnerability of
the opponents, is pre-emptive bid
of four hearts) No declarer wasfcrtu-
nate enough to make four hearts, and
in every instance the East.West team
set the contract one trick.
One team of ultra conservative
players arrived at a three-heart con-
tract when South opened with that bid.
The conservative team took delight in
pointing out to all the better players
in the duplicate that precise bidding
always paid. OF course, in a rubber
bridge game the partial score would
not have made so substantial a differ
enece as it did in the duplicate game.
However. the conservative team kept
referring to its prowess on this hand
until finally one of the better players
asked to see its score in general. It
turned out that the team was less
than average for the night, which is
an indication that while conservatism
ana timidity in bridge pay occasional
diVidends on specified hands, in the
long run 1T is best to bid your hand
accurately and to the extent war
ranted by the high card and distti-
butional values of the hand.

long run bidding rather than timid
partial-score tries pays the highest
dividends.

Brahm.
Negotiations for the loan of
Fonda were completed by Columbia
early last week with Walter Wanger
to whom he is under contract.
In bringing the story to the screen
William Perlberg, who will super
wise the production, is seeking a

Adaptation of the story was as
signed to Anthony WELLER. credited
with scripting such pictures as
"Winterset' and stage Door" +"
among numerous others.
Director Brahm is being acclaimed
as one of Hollywood's most brilliant
directors in the perturbation of

critical reviews.
Olivier, who played Hamlet in the
extended version for three months
last season in London, is Hollywood
bound to play in that fearful, tear
full story of Emily Bronte's, "Wuther-
ing Heights
Although only 81 years old, Olivier
is veteran Shakespearean actor.
He made his stage debut at the
Shakespeare festival at Stratford-
on-Avon in 1922.
NATURALLY there is nothing more
exciting than good performance
as Hamlet" he said here before
leaving for Hollywood. But, the two
favorite roles I have played are
both modern. One was Capt. STAN

other was Richard in Paris Bound'"
About "Wuthering Heights" it
sounds as If it will be one of those
chilling, brooding pictures filled with
exciting, jittery moments. Merle
Oberon will play opposite Olivier
and United Artists also is trying
to assign another role to that bel
lowing, boogerman-Orson Welles.

people practically out of their night

Another famous Hamlet who Is
triumphantly present on Broadway
is Raymond Massey. now playing
the title role in the hit, ABE Lincoln
in Illinois"
Massey made his first appearance
on Broadway in 1881 in the role Of
Hamlet.
Another famous Hamlet, John
Barrymore, has also reported that
he probably will appear on Broadway
this season in a play called my Dear
Children" It was in 1922 that he
triumphed in the role of Hamlet and
he toured in the part in 1923 and
1924 and the following year opened
it in London.
Also, another pair of Hamlets,
Walter Hampden and Fritz Leiber,
are now on Broadway preparing
other plays for the new season. Both
OF them have appeared as Hamlet
in several different productions both
here and on tour.
AS Olivier suggested the other day,
it might be a good idea for Billy
Rose to assemble all these several
Hamlets now in the neighborhood
and stage "a Hamlet to end IIamlets

Grifis admitted he knew nothing
about television and less about how
it could be practically applied to
the movie business. Nevertheless, he
said it would be "a great thing for

Griffis declared Paramount had
bought SO per cent interest in the
Du Mont laboratories. pioneers in
the television field, and that he and
other studio officials were vitality
interested in seeing the invention
commercialized at the earliest pos
sible moment.
But he confessed the company had
not single tangible plan at the
moment for production of special
television films or for their broad
casting.
At other studios. spokesmen were
inclined to stick with earlier dec
larations-that television isn't ready
to enter the commercialized amuse-
ment field, and won't be for years
to come.

ing a different tune. Basil Rath-
bone says he's through with the

he says. Robert Montgomery, who
has always entertained a warm spot
for "the boards" says the stage has
lost every vestige of its old appeal
for him.
There shouldn't be anything new
or surprising about the situation.
For years, the movies have been
Skimming the cream and carting
off most of the milk from the liter
ary markets. The prices they pay
give them access to the whole store
of world literature. Even so, every
major studio is tortured several
times each year to find suitable
starring stories for top stars.
Passing through the average film
story department each month are
more than a thousand manuscripts
novels, short stories, magazine
stories, even newspaper clippings
that might suggest stories-turned
in by agents and scouts throughout
the world. All studios maintain

The final source and recourse is the
playwright-and chances are that
gentleman is no philanthropist. If
he has something good, he knows
the movies will pay him much more

Union Pacific" He says:
Il know it will be bombshell to
the uninitiate. but it's no secret in
the studio music departments that
we can make leading men look tall
or short, sad or gay, with music.
In other words. the composer new
job is to supplement the actors ap-
pearance and abilities. And We
DO it every day of the week.
For example. a leading man has
been getting little overweight
lately. His face looks bland and
mild instead of portraying the
menace it should. If that actor tried
to assume a menacing character in
a scene without music, the scene
would flop. We know it. the direc-
tor knows it and the producer knows
it. So we work out theme with
bassoons and other instruments
that give the scene a menacing
note. Because the human senses
are alert to music. you can change
the mood of an audience so that it
almost seems to change what they
see. And the feeling and mood of
menace are there without the actor
supplying it."
It's the same with leading ladies,
Antheil explains:

ward and jerky in her actions. We
