was struck by his shabby at

broke and had only the one
suit to his name.
The owners sympathy was.

"order a suit. and charge it
to me-"
Hart had expensive tastes
even in those lean days.
When he saw the striking
apparel on the racks, he lost
control. Instead Of order
ing one suit, he ordered half
q dozen, with accessories to
match.
The tailor, his suspicious
aroused, called the resort
owner to verify the purchase.
The latter was so angered,
he Cancelled the order. in

promised.
Hart had to fall back on
his costumes to maintain q

Mr.. Dale opened the six Of
hearts, the nine went on from
dummy, and Mr.. Masters used
the rule of eleven to tell him
which card to play to defeat the
contract.
He mentally deducted six (the
number Of the card led from IL
and found there were i've hearts
higher than the six spot outside
Of Mr.. Dale's hand. He could
see all five of them in his own
hand and the dummy. / So he
played his 10 spot, knowing it
would win the trick.
He then cashed the king Of
hearts and led another heart.
Mr.. Dale won with the ace and
ran of two more tricks in the
suit so Miss Brash was down one
before she got the lead.
A number of readers have
asked why the rule Of IL works.
Here is the explanation. For the
purposes of this rule" the Jack
represents the II spot, the queen
the IL spot, the king the 13 spot
and the ace the IA spot.
Subtract the denomination Of
any card from IA and Of course
that will tell you the humber
OF higher cards in the particular
suit. For example, there are four
spades higher than the 10 (de-
Quoting 10 from Ia. There are
six spades higher than the eight.
There are II spades higher than
the three. And so on.
# your partner leads the six
OF spades, you know there are
eight spades higher than that
card. But If your partner has
made the customary lead of his
fourth highest spade, then he
has 3 OF those 8 cards in his own
hand. This leaves 5 Of them for
the other three hands.
To simplify the calculation.
one step was eliminated to for
n1nlate the rule of II. Since.
when leading from q broken suit
OF four or more cards, your
partner will always have three
cards higher than the one led,
why not deduct those at the
outset? Deducting 5 from IA
gives US IL. Most players today
use the device in this shortened
form.
Thus when your partner makes
q fourth highest lead Of q six.
spot, you deduct six from IL.
which leaves five. This tells you
that there are five cards in your
hand, declarer's hand and the
dummy which are higher than
the six spot. 1t tells you why
Mr.. Masters knew his 10 of
hearts would hold the first trick
IN today'S deal.

Leonard Goldstein is unique
among movie producers. He's
commercial, not arty, and he
admits it.
He wants to win a popularity

rather than an Academy Award.
Most producers average three
or four pictures a year. Gold
stein usually has that many
going at the same time.
His Panoramic Productions,
financed by Goth Century-Fox,
was formed last August. The
contract called for 10 pictures
in two years.
Two of the movies, MAN in

Concert for q Legend
Music of Pugonini, the Violin Wizard,
To Be Played at Library on Friday
By Doy Thorpe

establish themselves in Paga-
minis day, and the artist was
not expected to conform to an
unknown tradition or to OBJ
serve any stereotyped canons
whatever. Excitement was
Paganini'S most Salable ware.
He would fray a string SO that
it would break in performance
and enable him to aStound his
hearers by finishing the piece
without alteration on the re-
naming three. Mayseder, a
well-known musician of the
time, challenged Paganini to
play a piece of his at sight.
Paganini agreed, and when
presented with the most diff
cult connection of notes that
MaySeder could contrive,
handed his fiddle to the COM
poser, asking him to untune
it in any way he desired. After
drawing his bow once across
the strings of the untuned
fiddle. he read the piece per
fectly," as the story goes, COM
penSating automatically for
the new string tension.
He would substitute q walk
ing stick for a bow, play with
the fiddle upside down, or even
on Dutch wooden shoe
strung with gut. He was soon
thought by the superstitious
masses of England and Europe
to be in league with the devil.
His Guarnerius violin was said
to be made from the coffin of
his father. Liszt denied that
the G string of Paganini's
fiddle was made from his wife's
intestine. Paganini was I'M
married. and not q widower.
He PIoyed in Tune
Just how good q violinist
was this living myth, this pre-
humouS ghost? We know that
Schubert. Chopin, Schumann,
and List thought he was
without equal. Spohr, who
was not an admirer, possibly
because he himself was a great
vlrtuoso. said, nevertheless.
that he played in tune, even
in the fastest passages" Mr..
Spivacke'S diSpasSionate opin-
ion is that Paganini was the
equal Of Heifetz, q century be-
fore his time. The secret for
which Paganini was known to
have sold his soul to the devil
was the secret Of modern vio-
lin technique. The violinist
himself remarked with dry
modesty: "Paganini avoids
mediocrity in everything"
In any event, it seems I'M
likely that Paganini would
have written the caprices If he
could not play them. for he
was not q noticeable believer
in Art for Arts sake. but a
very practical musician.
Zinc Francescatti, the vio-
liniSt to whom the au-Paga-
mini concert is entrusted, comes
by his admiration for the
great Genoese quite logically.
His father was his only teacher
Of the violin, and his fathers
teacher, Sivori, was the only
pupil Of Paganini himself.
His copy Of the D major con-
certo, which he will play Fri
day with piano accompani-
ment, was Paganini's own,
given to Francescatti by his
father, who got it from Sivori.
Perhaps at the moment
Francescatti, who has prob
ably played a Paganini ca
price at the end Of a thou
sand recitals, is wondering:
I'm the name of the devil or
of Paganini, what, next Fri
day night, shall I play as an
encorAo"
