"Bucconeer" Seen at Palace

Plenty of gold braid and
swank at Loew's Palace Theater
last night, even though the
sneak preview of Cecil B. De
Miles The Buccaneer" had to
compete with the White House
diplomatic reception.
1.-The Buccaneer" is De Miles
twenty-fifth anniversary produc-
ton. He il the Hollywood master
at combining history and enter
tanning fiction.
"The Buccaneer" revives such
historical incidents as the battle
of New orleans, flight of Dolly
Madison from the presidential
palace with the Declaration OF
independence. attack on La.
fitte's pirates by the U. S. Navy
such historical characters
as Lafitte, Mrs. Madison, An
drew Jackson, Governor Clai'
borne, of Louisiana; Dominique
You, Ezra Peavey, Admiral
Cockburn, General Ross, Vim
cent Nolte.
Fredric March has never had
a better part than the role Of
Jean Lafitte, the brilliant and
mysterious pirate who became
a hero at the battle of New
Orleans, but lived to face new
adverSes and exile. A tragic
and infinitely appealing charac-
ter, Lafitte is played with a
vigor and pathos which is going
to win new laurels for one of
the finest actors on our screen.
Francisco Gaal and Margot
Grahame give the star brilliant

West pondered long. but finally read the message right. East had defense in the minor suits, he de- cided, so with only a slightly long, at his good spade, he led the dia- mond four. South could do no bet ter than cash the two high cards in each of the minor suits, and his established trick in hearts. This left him one trick short of his game contract.
 Had West played his last spade, East could not have prevented the making of the contract. Another minor suit card would have been forced from his hand. Then when South led his established heart, East's defense against more than four minor suit tricks would have been completely wrecked. It was a narrow squeak, but West made the correct, if difficult. play.

Squeeze"

It isn't easy to refuse to take certain trick when you are defend- ing & game contract. Defensive tricks against sound game bids are too valuable to be lightly thrown away, but West realized that if he cashed his established high spade, his partner would be forced to give up defense in other suits. Therefore. he wisely abandoned his own good trick in the search of others in his partners hand, thereby avoiding what bridge players call the Sui eide squeeze" His self-denial brought about the defeat of the contract.
 From the start West was optimis- tic about defeating the hand. He had four practically certain tricks,
