Tall, broad-shouldered Richard

in Constitution Hall yesterday-an
unusual occurrence in view of the fact
not a seat in the vast auditorium was

But it wasn't done with dark magic
or mirrors. The braves and applause
which greeted the Metropolitan Opera
Co. tenor came from the stage, where
DR.. Hans Kinder and the musicians
of the National Symphony Orchestra
waited with rolled-up sleeves to begin
a brief rehearsal.

Temperament, Mr.. Crooks said, is
due to nervousness when an artist
isn't sure of himself.
After the rehearsal, Dr. Kinder and
the singer-friends since the conductor
was solo 'cellist with the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra, with whom Mr..
Crooks often sang-retired to small
dressing room to compare notes on mu-
sical world gossip
Mr.. Cooks performance last night

cert here in 1922 with the New York

The vessels, now being operated In

Dear H. j. R.: At the risk Of wound
ing your sensitive feelings, we are
afraid that we must decide in favor
Of the plaintiff. Our own inclination
would have been to open the bidding
In your position with a third-hand
club bid. While your hand was a
rock-bottom minimum and your part
ner had passed, it is sound tactics to
open in third position on a suit with
tops for lead-directing purposes. You
will find that you obtain far better
results by opening hand such as
this and then retiring discreetly from
the auction, than by first passing and
later entering the bidding at a much
higher stage.
However, having passed originally,
we feel that over Vests two-heart bid
you should have raised your partner
to two spades. True, you held only
three small trumps, somewhat neutral
support. But the vulnerable one
spade overcall would be sure to con-
tain five trumps. Then, when the op-
ponents arrived at their four-heart
contract you could have left the de-
cision as to whether or not to defend
to your partner instead Of taking the
bull by the horns yourself. Realizing
that q four-spade contract would be
hopeless, but that he would have
fair chance of setting four hearts, your
partner would undoubtedly have
passed. Inasmuch as four hearts
would have been defeated one trick
you presented your opponents with q
gift Of 900 points.

Jones was caught in Buckingham
Palace and confessed that he had
been hiding in the very same room
where her majesty, Queen Victoria,
had been discussing matters of state
with her ministers. The boys coun-
sci successfully turned to ridicule all
charges against his client, and the
verdict was not guilty. But it was
never learned how he got into the
palace.
Two years later. almost to the day,
Jones again was found inside the pal
ace walls, this time hiding under q
sofa in her majesty's boudoir! He
had been in the palace at least two
days and, he claimed, actually sat
upon the Queens throne. For this
desecration he was sentenced to prison
for three months and put on the tread
mill.
These affairs were almost forgot
ten when, on March Is, 1841, Jones
was found third time prowling about
the palace. He told his captors con-
f1dently that he could effect an entry
any time he wished.
Jones received a second sentence
of three months at hard labor, and
what happened to him after that is
not matter OF record.

An Open Letter.

n j. r. of Kansas City writes:
Dear Four Aces: Sitting North
on the inclosed hand I was severely
criticized for making a sacrifice bid
on which my partner was penalized
500 points. I have always been taught
that to save a game at the cost of
5o0 points is a paying proposition
when both sides are vulnerable. While
I didn't think that my partner could
make four spades. I did think there
was a slight chance, and it seemed
quite likely to me that unless sac
rificed, the opponents would win the
game and rubber at their heart
contract. I am a very sensitive soul,
and when my partner severely criti-
cized me, told him would turn the
matter over to you."

STEVENSON THEATRE IN HENDERSON
Picture Man by Nature.

This man Stevenson is a theatre
man by inclination and ability. Today
his reputation and prestige in motion
picture circles in the Piedmont sec
ton count for as much as that of any
other one individual in the exhibiting
business. He is more or less intimate
ly acquainted with virtually every ex-
hibitor and to practically all represent
tatives of the producers and booking
houses. He gains ready admission and
attentive audience when entering the
offices of the largo hooking concerns
in Charlotte, which today is the book
ing center of the South.
Stevenson's confidence in himself
coupled with his native ability and
genial personality, have attracted to
him abundant financial support, and
he has justified the condolences i'm
posed in him from the start. It is 1
genuine achievement to be able t,
overcome the obstacles he has face
and conquered, and his friends and
admirers-and they are leg;on-feel
that he is more than worthy of the
great success that has come to him.

Sidney Stevenson has for years beer
a leading figure i'll the association of

But last year he could fight it off no
longer, and he was made president os

But Sidney is one of the most apprc

Where have you heard that before?
Well, many of the younger folk have
never had that experience in a movie
theatre, but some Of the older heads
can remember the tiresome waits
while the one operator was changing
from one reel to another on the lone
projection machine in the operators
booth.
And that is what came into the
mind of Sidney Stevenson when he
was asked to recount something of
his experience in the picture business
in Henderson. And one never thinks
of movies in Henderson without think
ing of Sidney, for the two have been
synonymous almost from the begin

81 years he has been connected with
all but two or three ventures of the
kind that had their inception here.
