In The Local
TheaterS
STRAND

John Carradine, star OF Pres
"Bluebeard," has one Of the eeriest
roles Of his career in the psychology
ical murder drama now showing at
the trand theater, and the title role
Of "Bluebeard" gives him oppor-
tunities for melodramatics seldom
presented Hollywood film actors.
Carradine's hobby as well as one
Of his means of livelihood Is hake-
speare. He plans extensive road
tours of his own company playing
the works of the Bard, and he has
given many lectures on Elizabethan
drama before colleges and universe
ties. His first such tour conducted
on the Pacific Coast recently proved
a great success, audience wise anc
financially.
The deep, resonant voice Of player
was developed In most strange
way. After playing in Broadway
productions. he came to Hollywood
to offer his talents to the movies. He
had exertmely hard shedding, and
became quite a character on Holly
wood Boulevard. At night, he would
go to the shell Of the famed Holly
wood Bowl and recite Shakespeare
the shell broadcasting his speeches
we'll into the Hollywood Hills.
The companion feature Is Song
OF Nevada, starring Roy Rogers.

/. MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE

Another old-timer who has passed
away in Comdr. Winfield Liggett,
Jr., who was in my estimation one
of the incest partners at bridge.
While his name is not SO universally
known as that of Work and White
head, nevertheless, many Of the
bridge books published during Lig-
gets day were ghost-written by
him.
After receiving his medical dis
charge from the Navy, he devoted
most Of his time to bridge and he
was known as being q specialist IN
no trump.
However, I will never forget to-
days hand. Liggett was one Of the
few men who ever made a con-
tract Of seven spades when his OPP
ponents held the ace Of trump.
You will notice there was not
much approach bidding in those
days, but Liggett reasoned that If
hills partner could jump to six
spades, he must have that missing
ace, so he went to seven spades.
He won the opening lead with
the ace Of clubs. Most players would
simply spread the hand and con-
cede down one. But Liggett played
a small spade from dummy, put

ing job isn't going to be enough.
The women who will get the Jobs
and keep them are the women who
have given the best accounts Of
themselves during the period when
jobs were plentiful.
Any woman who wants to keep

to be sure she Is actually EARNING
hers right now.
SELF-ANALYSIS URGED
She ought to check up on her

has given as much to her job as

has brought to 1t not only eff

make employers want to keep them

or WAVES or Red Cross Nurses,
or any other of the services-or for

girls this year are giving dinners
instead of luncheon parties.
Dinner is planned rather than q
luncheon because most girls are
busy all day-including Saturdays
in many cases-doing jobs directly
or indirectly connected with fin

Set the table in feminine, light
