STRAND

George Raft, who is so supersti- tious that he always stod in one particular spot when he made pre- war racing bets at Santa Anita, gave up one of his pet lunches for bis role in Mob Hill,' the dazzling new 20th Century-Fox Technicolor hit in which he is starred with Joan Bennett, Vivian Blaine and Peggy Ann Garner.
 Ever since he made a hit Tipping 50-cent coin in "Scarface", Raft has refused to repeat the bit of busi- ness because he thought it would be bad luck.
 So director Henry Hathaway had a hard time persuading George to go back to coin tossing for a scene in the picture now at the Strand theateruntil he pointed out the triple difference of motive, direc- tion and denomination. The Scar face" coin-flipping was a nervous, ominouS habit of the gangstsr Raft portrayed. AS the Barbary Coast cafe owner in Mob Hill," Raft's coin- throwing would have a happy symbolism: Raft would thrown the coin-a five-dollar gold piece-not to himself but to his patrons, and the lucky catcher won the every thing-on-the house" table!
 When Raft saw the logic of this and agreed to do the scene, Hatha- way suggested it was twelve years since George had Tipped a coin in "Scarface" and maybe he'd better practice up. Raft smiled, asked where Hathaway wanted the coin to land. Tipped 1t to the exact table the director indicated. Asked how cose he still has such perfect air, Raft replied:
 After "scarface," I developed the habit. When I'm not doing anything else, l flip cards into a hat. The weight of the object doesn't matter so much as your control over speed, direction and the surprise elements of wind. I do 1t for fun all the time. But when 1t comes to c picture well. I'm just superstitious about re- beating a good thing. that's ali."

hearts is the agreed suit and, while slam is probable, there is still the possibility that two tricks may be lost. A four no trump response would get response of five spades, and in this case the hand would auto matically be down one. To cover this situation, when hearts are the agreed suit, five-club response is given with a count of less than five and the hand can then be played at five hearts.
 On the hand shown, declarer lost two spade tricks and tied for top score. Of course, the players who tried for six were down one, and, while most stopped at game, there had been chance to explore slam possibilities without risk, the safe haven of five hearts being available, inasmuch as that was the agreed suit.

 Missouri is hot in summer. And St. Louis, humming with war ac- tivity, is overcrowded. Both St. Louis housewives and hotel chefs are on the spot when it comes to serving three squares a day to suit hot-weather appetites despite market shortages. The average housewife, however, has more red ration points for meats, butter and fats than the average public feed- ing establishment.
 However, the chefs manage to stick to OPA regulations and also serve good food. The chef at the St. Louis Statler hotel explains, ex- elusive to this column, how he does 1t.

Sixty million Americans who are

applaud a request to Congress by o.
P. A. Director Chester Bowles for au-
thority to force a reduction in mo-

He also seeks legislation permitting
MIN to control barber shop and
beauty parlor prices.
Bowles said movie prices are an i'm
portant item in the average familys
budget, with a billion and a half dol
lars spent on admissions last year.
He contended movie admissions have
increased 38H per cent, of which less
than a third was caused by higher
Federal excise taxes.
Barber and beauty parlor prices
have increased an average Of 40 per
cent and are responsible for about
per cent of the overall increase in
living costs, Bowles declared.
