Uncle Ruy's Corner

Twenty-Five hundred years ago,
there lived man whom many per-
sons call "the first actor" His
name was Thespis pronounced
THESS-p's) and from that came
the word "Thespian," sometimes
used to describe a modern actor.
Whether Thespis really was the
first actor is open to doubt. In
any case he was a pioneer of the
theater. We are told that he was
the first to cause dialogue to be
spoken during play.
Thespis was a Greek, and there
were plays of a sort long before
his day. These plays had much
to do with religion. People gath
cred to honor Dionysus. the god of
plant life, Of grapes and wine.
For long time, a play was little
more than dancing and singing,
with one man speaking or reciting
from the stage. The stage was out
side temple, and the man on the
stage wore a mask to show that he
represented Dionysus.
Then came an important change.
The man with the mask would call
out question, and some one in
the chorus Of singers would give
an answer. 1t IS supposed that
Thespis invented the question-and-
lanSwer idea.
From such Q small start, the an

cient Greeks built up plays of high
interest. We have writings which
tell the words and actions Of many
of their plays.
AS time went on, several actors
appeared on the stage, instead OF
just one. AL wore masks, but the
masks came to be of many kinds.
Some might be described as Jolly
masks" since they were made for
comic actors. Other masks, of a
less cheerful kind, were used in
plays with sadness and death as
part of the story; these were tragic

Sometimes you have a suit in
which you can finesse either way
against the queen. Often, in these
cases, the main problem is not to
guess which opponent has the
queen, but to make sure that the
lead Is not lost to the opponent
who can make a damaging return.

Mr.. Muzzy had such q, situation
fn his heart suit In today's deal
Mrs. Keen opened the queen of
spades and everybody played low
the queen winning. Mr.. Dale men,
tally kicked himself for not putting
up his king. Probably Mr.. Muzzy
still would have ducked and Mr..
Dale could then have pushed his
queen of diamonds through.
Mr.. MuzZy made a good play by
ducking, although it Is not certain
that he knew why he did it. AS
you see. he could afford to lose a
spade, a heart and a diamond. He
was certain to be able to hold his
diamond losses to one if he kept
the lead in Mrs. Keen's hand.
But, after winning the spade con-
tinuation, he started on hearts,
cashing the ace and king and
thereby setting up Mr.. Dale's queen.
Next he started clubs. But Mr..
Dale ruffed the third round and
his side quickly collected two dia-
mond tricks to defeat the contract.
Mr.. Champions evaporation
was justified. why not f1nesse
against Dale for the queen of
hearts?" he demanded. "You didn't
care whether it won or lost be-
cause it would surely prevent a
lead through your king Of dia-
mondS"
Eight ever. nine never" was Mr..
Muzzy's cryptic response. This silly
bit of gibberish dates back to auc-
ton days and means that with
eight cards of suit, you always
f1nesse and with nine cards you
never do. Mr.. Muzzy and Mr. Rhule
are the only ones who remember
it which is all to the good.
you can quote that absurd
poetry all you want" Mr.. Cham
pion continued, but the fact re-
mains that if you had cashed the
ace of hearts and then finessed
the jack, you could not have lost
the hand !
Mr. Champion was right. of
course. If the finesse lost to Mrs.
Keen, trrInps would have been out
and the defenders could have
quickly cashed only one diamond.
If the jack held. the king would
have picked up Mr.. Dale's queen
and Mr.. Muzzy would have made
flve-odd.
