FAMOUS FABLES
BY L. +. EDGAR
EVIDENT: During a Broad

EVIDENT: During a Broad
way run John Barrymore was
supported by an actor who
played the part of his 300-pound
friend. In the first act, the man
had to complain of his poor
health. Barrymore would then
try to cheer him up.
The supporting player was a
man OF medium build. He had
to wear an immense paunch.
This was accomplished by means
of a ballon- like bag filled with
air
AS a gag, Barrymore sneaked
into the mans dressing room
before one performance and
punctured the bar 50 as % cause
a slow leak.
In the first scene. the loss of
air was not noticeable. In the
second, however, 1t became APP
parent that the supporting
player was not so stout. BY the
end of the act. he was almost
down to his normal size.
When he went into his speech
about his health. Barrymore, in
stead of cheering him up. put
on sad face and said.
ITS no wonder you don't feel
well look at the weight you've
lost

compost method. as well as stud

mended.

Opening lead: Six of hearts.
Daring. of course, but very eff
fectlve. The trouble is that one
so seldom has a holding like that
when his opponents reach a no.
trump game. However. Mr..
Meek's idea expresses, in extreme
form, the principle of successful
opening leads against no-trump
contracts.
Not too infreQuently you will
hold a long suit headed by K-Q-J
or Q-J-10 and the top card from
such a holding represents one of
the most favorable openings.
Sadly enough, you will more
frequently hold a broken suit
of four or more cards in which
case you will open the standard
fourth highest card and hope
that partner has at least one
honor in the suit.
Why open your long suit
against no-trump contracts? At
suit bids the declarer is usually
able to capture the small cards
IN your long suits with trumps.
At no-trump, however. he must
depend entirely on high cards.
Your purpose. then, is to knock
out declarers shoppers in your
long suit so that you can win
tricks with the remaining cards.
With a very weak hand con-
tanning no side entries, it is often
winning practice to avoid lead
ing from your longest suit, and
instead to lead the top card from
a worthless three or even two
card holding. Your hope in these
cases would be TO hit a strong
and long holding in your part
ner's hand.
Mr.. Meek didn't want TO lead
at all in today'S hand. The rea-
son was that he had no safe Sc
lection. With a sure side entry
in spades, he finally brought
himself to make an attacking
lead from his five-card heart
holding. He led the six and his
partner played the queen, which
was permitted to win.
The suit was continued and
Mr.. Dale held off until the third
round. But he had only seven
winners outside of spades and
when he led that suit MIR. Meek
went in with the ace and took
two more heart tricks TO put the
contract down one.
