Two people who better know their

rough and ready at frequent
intervals.
Flynn, though among them,
isn't really one of them. This is
the one about the naval officer
who has himself flogged and
cashiered so he will be a convinc-
ing spy when he invades the pirate
stronghold to seek out its fortiflca-
tions and gun emplacements.
This turns out to be more in
Iteresting job than he has ex-
Ipected. One of the pirate cap
Itains, name of Spitfire Stevens. is
Miss O'Hara. This is as trim a
pirate captain as you are likely
to come across in years of swash-
buckling, cinema or genuine.

Clifton Webb picks up the baton
of John Philip Souza in stars

time he lays it down he has proved
both are corking showmen.
In fact, Webb's role of the Ma

precisely the reverse of the adder

played under several names, but it
does run strongly to sentiment.
The change leaves Webb unfeazed.
The overall excellence of the

From this point, it follows Souza's

Mr.. Dale opened the jack of clubs
Dummy played low and Mrs. Keen
won with the king and returned the

dummy's ace of clubs, Miss Brash
pulled out the king of hearts. If
Mrs Keen had PLAYED the ace it
would have been all over.
Miss Brash could have ruffed and
later thrown her losing spade on
the queen of hearts. But Mrs. Keen
played the deuce of hearts. Miss
Brash then went into a huddle. AS
the British say, she had to take a
view.
Finally she made the right guess
and decided to play Mr.. Dale for
the ace. She figured that If he held
as many as four spades, plus the
ace of hearts, the hand could be
made on a squeeze. In other words,
If Mr. Dale had four or more spades,
he alone could guard that suit.
To guard both major suits, he
would have to hold onto one heart
and three spades-four cards in
all Could Miss Brash get him down
to three cards? Tricks in clubs had
been played. Trumping the king of
hearts made three tricks played.
Cashing the queen of clubs and
ruffing club in dummy made five.
Five more leads of diamonds made
ten. Yes, it could just be done.
So Miss Brash ruffed the king of
hearts, took two rounds of trumps,
cashed the queen of clubs and
ruffed her last club. Next she ran
the rest of her diamonds. When
she played her last diamond at trick
10, dummy had left the queen of
hearts and three spades to the king.
Mr.. Dale had the ace of hearts and
three spades to the jack. He was
gone. He had to hold the ace of
hearts to keep dummy'S queen from
winning. so he let go spade. Miss
Brash then won the last three tricks

there is at least some reason to hope that the

ready to abandon their totally unacceptable
prisoner exchange demands-the last apparent
obstacle to truce.
In such circumstances, and in view OF exist
Ing laison machinery, tt is difficult to see any
