CONTRACT BRIDGE
 By VIM. E. MCKINNEY Secretary of the Amer ican Bridge League

Bridge players have long since learned that the order in which tricks are taken is important. Much has been written about timing" !" the term invented to describe the selection of choice of plays. In today's hand there is an excellent example of how advantage may be taken of the time factor to estab- fish a winner before the opponents have an opportunity to take the setting trick.
 So far as the bidding is concerned, the feature is East's free bid" without a quick trick, but the dis tribution, plus the fact that the dou-

POLI'S

Today Loew's Poli Theater pre- sents "The Crime of Dr. Hallet."
 Working under intolerable hard- ships in a fever infested tropical jungle, heroic scientist finds his efforts to save countless thousands of human lives thwarted by the death of single individual.
 What is he to do? Shall he meekly bow down before the con- ventional standards of right and wrong and thereby abandon suffer- ing men and women to their agony? Or shall he defy handmade laws and the taboos of human society for the benefit of tortured humanity?
 This human dilemma is the theme of "The Crime of Dr. Hallet."
 This picture was produced as a tribute to science. The entire film was photographed in Samaritan jungle built within the biggest sound stage at the studio.
 The story of this picture concerns battle of elemental love and hate, with men and women aroused to primal emotion at fever heat, against 8 background of heroic martyrdom to science. Hallet goes to Samatra to find a fever cure, and falls in love with his woman assistant, Dr. Reynolds. When Dr. Saunders, another assistant, dies through an imperfect experiment, Hallet takes his name to carry on his work to fulfilment. Then Saun- ders' wife, Claire, arrives and threatens exposure.
 Ralph Bellamy is outstanding as Dr. Hallet. William Gargan, as his ironical assistant, revels in one of the pictures best roles. Josephine Hutchinson, as Hallet's sweetheart, Dr. Reynolds, gives a touching por- trayal, while Barbara Read, as Claire, and John King, as the ideal istic Dr. Saunders, round out a most convincing cast.
 Sharing honors on the same pro- gram are Evelyn Venable and Grant Richards in My Old Kentucky Home" which also features the Hall Johnson Choir singing Stephen Fosters immortal song hits.
 On the stage tonight, at g D. m. there will be another gala stage presentation consisting of big acts of headline Broadway vaudeville.
