who have shone from Techni-
colored movie screens. none has
clamored more invitingly for re-
demption. Yet all during the years
when the stage has grubbed for
musical heroineS, in a score Of
adaptations of this and that and
even "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, -
Scarlett has been permitted to
languish.
''Languish" probably is not the
word. but it is the cliche.
The idea of doing a musical
adaptation Of "Gone With The
Wind" starts Selznick with the
most promising notion q stage
producer ever had.
Whatever her flaws, lacking
dramatic qualities never was one
Of Scarlett's. Beyond q cavil, she
towers over such irresistible fe-
male creatures as Laurie in'Okla-
homa!", Nellie Forbush in South
Pacific" Anna in 1.-THE King And
l." Madam in Call Me Madam,
and Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen
Prefer Blondes" These are all
American girls, If there ever was
such a thing. but they cannot
compare with Scarlet.
Considering that his picture of
her. made in 1888, is up In the 80
millions in earnings at the box
office, Selznick surely should have
known this years ago.

Naturally, in view Of the stages
limitations, the musical to be
called Scarlet O'Hara" (what
else?) will need a lot Of reducing
from the dimensions of Margaret
Mitchell's novel. And from those
Of Selznick's all-time most popular
gcreenplay.
Nevertheless, the author and
composer who undertakes the job
for Selznick, can start with the
consolation they are dealing with
q Cleopatra-Juliet type. This is to
say their girl is universally and
endlessly fascinating which means
that any small part of her. reas-
onably represented in q musical
play book. will be more dramatic
than the sum total of most such
heroineS.
BY this time, to be sure, virtu-
ally everyone alive has a sharp
and vivid impression of Scarlet.
Consequently, no one will accept
a miniature Of her if it happens
to be hopelessly faded and unjust
to the subject. But let the makers
of the musical Scarlet O'Hara"
catch something of the girls
beauty, fire. uncomfortable spirit.
ETC., and who knows that the pro-
duction will not run 40 years and
make another 40 million dollars?
Certainly not Selznick and the
heirs to Mrs. Mitchell's estate who
have just completed the new deal
for rights to Scarlett's life.
Incidentally, the confidence Of
both Is reflected in the fact that
the sum involved in the deal Is
q pittance Of 50. 500. It is that low
because the expected royalties are
expected to be higher than those
of a uranium field.

If history repeats itself, as his
tory is reputed to do, Selznick will
see to it that Scarlet O'Hara" Is
the most talked of musical for a
long time before any one lays eyes
on it.

The bidding:

The answer is no. The four no
trump bid does not ask for aces
unless one partner or the other has
bid some suit during the auction.
In today's deal Mr. Abel was not
trying to find out about aces when
he bid four no-trump. He had a
flne hand, balanced in nature and
ideally suited for no-trump play.
He figured he was too strong
merely to bid three no-trump and
not strong enough to jump all the
way to six.
Figuring Was Correct.
His idea was to overbid the game,
thereby strongly suggesting that
partner go to slam in no-trump if
his opening bid were a maximum
and to pass the four no-trump bid
If his opening were a minimum.
Mr.. Abel's figuring was correct.
His four no-trump bid was not con-
ventional because neither partner
had bid a suit.
But Mr.. New, who is a better
ktbitzer than a player, did not
figure it that way. He blandly
showed his one ace, with a bid of
i've diamonds.
Now Mr.. Abel realized that two
aces were In the hands of the
enemy and six-odd was out of the
question.
Couldn't Bid Five.
Strangely enough, five diamonds
can be made, owing to the very ia
vorable distribution of the cards.
But Mr.. Abel made a desperate at
tempt to reach what he knew to be
the best final contract, five no.

He could not bid five no-trump
himself because New would construe
this as asking for kings He would
show his kings at the six range
Using device which is a part
OF the Blackwood convention, Mr..
Abel next bid five in a previously
unbid suit-hearts.
That bid commanded his partner
to close out the auction by bidding
five no-trump.
Mr.. New wasn't familiar with this
gadget either. After some thought,
he passed-and the opponents took
two aces and a trump trick for
down one.
Mr.. Abel's Humanics were not too
good. Playing with an expert part

right. Playing with Mr.. New, he
