 When this also proved to be right, the hand was spread for six odd.
 Others who conserved the club ace had to be content with four odd, as there was no way of get ting out of dummy without letting East in. Naturally, East shifted to & diamond and West was able to cash two tricks in that suit.

THINGS HAPPEN WHERE DOROTHY THOMPSON HAPPENS

DOROTHY THOMPSON, ia
nous columnist and NBC news
commentator. can't resist the
great open spaces even when
living in crowded Manhattan.
With her husband, Sinclair

prompted to inquire whether or
not Jack has a real Maxwell on
the stage of the NBC studio.
Colvig. Hollywood's most UNI
usual sound effects engineer, is
a veteran of both radio and
animated cartoon sound effects.
He was consulted regarding
effects for the venerable Benny
vehicle following the first broad
cast on which the Maxwell was
mentioned.
He uses the "south end" of
the trombone for the sound of
the cars starting motor.
The battered washboiler with
mounted electric motor gives
perfect imitation of a rickety
jillopy rolling down a bunny
road.
The rattle, cowbell, steel
plate, and coffee can mounted
on a board, when beaten with a
wooden hammer create an illu-
sion of things dropping off the
Maxwell.
The mechanical effects, to-
gether with whistles, screams,
chugs and wheezes supplied by
Pinto himself, constitute the
working parts of Jacks famous
Maxwell.
Jack calls the talented sound
effects engineer his "air chauf-
feur," and no name could be
more accurate.
For Colvig is the only fellow
who's ever actually "driven" the
Benny bus.
LIKE Phil Bakers "Beetle"
and Edgar Bergen's "Charlie
Mccarthy" Benny's Maxwell is
a rich source of gags.
Many of the heartiest outlaws
traced to the Benny program
come by way of this mythical
auto.
In this day of ever-increasing
difficulty in obtaining gag
material, Benny finds his gas
buggy a handy solution for
script troubles. ~. -, u
