During our Pacific coast trip. Waldemar von Zedtwitz and I were greatly impressed with Tom 'StOd- dard's activity among the juniors of bridge. ''The experts can take care of themselves" Stoddard says, 'They win the cups and the Master Points. But the fellow who must be developed and at the same time get some fun out of bridge, is the junior"
 While it is true that youngsters predominate among the juniors, nevertheless I found some "juniors" over 70. The term applies to those players who have not established a record by winning Q certain number of Master Points.
 Stoddard pointed out the juniors often play hand better than the expert. The expert may become a bit careless, but the junior is al- ways anxious to use the knowledge of the game that he is acquiring. Todays hand, for instance, is one that the expert might miss, but which the junior is sure to make.
 The ace of spades is forced out by the opening lead. It is apparent the contract of six hearts is easy unless there is some extremely bad break. The expert might worry whether to try e double finesso in trumps CT . quick discard of his second spade on dummy'B diamonds.
 The junior slEnplines the problem --afld correctly e. He decides ho won't make tho hand is kke tEunan1

Pretty Pri- scilla Lane is, of course, the Million Dollar Baby, and Jeffrey Lynn, her sweetheart, is the young lawyer who first brings her news of her inherit ance then stays to sue for her hand. Ronald Reagan, popular young star, is cast as the cynical young conn poser who is in love with Priscilla, too, but prejudiced against her money. Veteran May Robson plays the eccentric, wealthy old woman who gives Priscilla the million dol- lars for reasons of her own.
