Don't tell Solomon Barns,
Negro, 1014 Wooster street,
that gambling is profitable.
Solomon had a sad tale to
tell police last night.
He was engaged in a gambl-
ing game with three other
Negroes, he said, when he
became a victim of a varia-
ton of the old film flam
game.
One of the players asked
Barns to swap money with
him and promised that if
Barns won any money, he
would pay off, Barns said.
But the swapper left, and
Barns money went with him.
Neither returned.

Goren on Bridge

For variety of treatment, no hand
from the recent Montreal champion
ships equaled the one shown today.
The variations occurred in both the
bidding and the play. There was
unanimity on the opening bid and
the response of one heart, but on
openers rebid the players went their
several ways. Some jumped to three
diamonds, on the theory that six
card suit should be rebid before q
four-card suit is shown. This rule
of bidding is more or less outmoded
and experienced players now prefer
to get the four-card major suit bid
in at an early stage in the bidding,
particularly when 1t can be shown
at the level of one.
When North supported the dla-
monds, South's jump to a slam is
not bad gamble On this type OF
hand science is not apt to prove very
effective If partner has nothing
more than the king and queen OF
! hearts, there should be at least an
even chance to make the slam.
which at worst should depend upon
the location of the queen of spades.
| Where the five of clubs was OPEN
ed, one declarer made the egregious
error of stepping up with the king.
This brought forth the ace, which
was r1lffed, but one heart discard
was not enough and the contract
was defeated a trick. The proper
play at the first trick is the 10 Of
clubs. If West has led from the jack,
the ace will be forced and two dis
cards can be obtained on the clubs
If East has both the ace and the
jack, nothing can be done about it.
At any rate, there is no hurry about
forcing the ace. That can be done
later, if necessary.
| At another table West opened the
two of spades. East won with the
| ace and almost fell over his own feet
in his anxiety to cash the ace OF
clubs. When this failed to cash,
declarer obtained his two heart dis
cards. The play of the ace OF clubs
was not sound If South has club
he will not be able to get rid of it
except on one holding and that Is
the lone ace-king of hearts and q
single club. This is most unlikely
holding, since then South would
hardly have bid slam almost sim
gle-handed without first-round con-
troll of either spades or clubs.
At still another table, East was i'll
advised enough to double the final
contract. West in compliance with
modern conventions, dutifully led
the dummy's suit and the contract
was fulfilled by the simple expedient
of playing the king of clubs through
East, in order to obtain one heart
discard.

'Mr. Handel Is Truly Great

It might well be impossible to fine
q more suitable Christmas film sub.
ject than the life of George Freder-
ick Handel, the 18th century COM
poser whose music has become the
seasons classic and majestic orna-
ment. Courtesy of English Films
the Little Theater comes up today
with precisely that screenplay in
"The Great Mr.. Handel"
Here In one exquisite Technicolor
package is the mans life. superbly
and touchingly portrayed. and his
works, magnifcently played by the
London Philharmonic Orchestra.
The combination can hardly fail
to be one of the seasons most en-
ticing exhibits.
Musical biography has become a
common form in the cinema but 1t
rarely has had the intelligent pur-
pose Of treating the mans life and
his works with equal integrity. 1t
is one of the irresistible charms of
"The Great Mr.. Handel" that it not
only has this purpose but realizes 1t.
The man who could write "The
Messiah" is presented in his true
and honestly arresting dimensions
as great artist. For once the Gin
ema is adapted to It's theme instead
Of the theme to the cinema's con-
ventions.
