In The Local IHe1terS
STATE

A stirring romance of two people who tempted fate, who dared to love through the turmoil of war, is First Comes Courage" which began its engagement this afternoon at the air conditioned State theater.
 Merle Oberon and Brian Aherne, stars of this timely drama of the conquered people of Norway, play the young lovers devoted to each other and to the cause.
 Miss Oberon is Nicole Larsen, a Norwegian girl of high birth, sus- pected of being a quisling in her conquered town of Stavik, because her constant companion is Major Dichter, in charge of the German garrison. In realty, she is a mem- Der of theu underground, cleverly se- curing vital information by pre- tending to be in love with the Nazi which role Is admirably handled by Carl Esmond.
 Today's audiences found the un- derground method of getting the information to the British intelli- gence very enlightening and com pletely fascinating. As a pre-war romance of Nicoles, Brian Aherne is the English commando captain who is sent to Stavik to do away with the Nazi major, when the lat ter suspects Nicole of betraying him.
 Scene after scene of stirring TO- nance and the hold your breath type of action brings this magnifi- cent story to a thrilling conclusion, winding up with commando raid that is one of the most exciting and realistic we have seen on the screen.
 Walt Disneys gay new technicolor feature "Saludos Amigos" is the second hit of the current show and offers novelty and surprises that will have you raving.
 "Saludos Amigos" which means Hello Friends" fairly bristles with color, music, gaiety, dancing and that distinctive brand of Disney charm which always makes his of- fering superlative.
 Especially in the sequence Bra dl' does his animated magic cap ture the imagination and charm of the southern continent. This cli- matic sequence still fingers because of its vivid treatment The camera employs unique angles for project ing the colorful customs and appeal of the country. Samba instruments are portrayed in silhouette, tfo throbbing musical background en- hances the setting, then who should step out and disport in the samba but Donald Duck himself and the new Disney character Joe Carioca, the Brazilian jitterbird who, it is said, really steals the picture.

If the spade suit broke, seven no trump would make. Seven hearts look large the safest contract.
 Norths jump to two spades is slam invitation, which South ac- cepts with his bid three diamonds. Norths three hearts show heart sup port. Four clubs is a control bid by South Norths jump to five spades is to show a good, solid spade suit, South denies the possibility of play ing the hand at spades with his bid of five no trump. North's bid of seven hearts gives South a choice of passing seven hearts or bidding seven spades or seven no trump.
 You can see that at hearts, East has to make the queen of hearts, while at spades West is bound to make a spade trick. At no trump the declarer has to give a spade trick up quickly or he will be set two tricks.
