would have had nothing on the Field brothers
For Irwin and Israel Field have made a story
book success out of both business and friendship.
When they were small boys in Hagerstown, Md,
they formed partnership resulting, some 80 years
later, in an entertainment empire that is crossing
$40 million year-and is still expanding.

And Irwin adds, Our ambition has been to be
together, even though we didn't pick the business
until grew up"
They came to Washington 20 years ago with
nothing but this ambition, yet managed to open
drug store Seventh street NV
"Al we needed for a start was store front,
which we got mostly on nerve, and supplies, which
we got on credit" Irwin recalls.
Moderately successful, the drug business soon
was surpassed by a new venture selling photograph
records.
AT first" says Irwin, "the big record companies
wouldn't deal with US because they thought it was
degrading to mix records and drugs something
that is common practice today, of course. But we
got around them by making friends with jukebox

Eventually, the recording companies capitla-
lated and the FIELDS dropped drugs, established
three branch stores and became of the largest
record retailers in the East.
During World War II, records became scarce,
so the Felds-who made art of do 1t Yourself"

affected the expanding Field empire: The Govern
ment sought an operator for its Carter Barron
Amphitheater and "packaged," or variety shows
became hard to find.
With a well-balanced fare-from ballet to pop
musicthe FIELDS became the first really successful
operators of the Amphitheater. And to solve the
show scarcity, they began "packaging" their own.
Today, ld-packaged shows tour the Nation
and the world, largely under the aegis of General
Artists Corp-Super Productions, Inc. The FIELDS
only recently merged with GAG to form the third
largest theatrical agency.
1T would be fair to say" Irwin contends, that
control 60 per cent Of all the talent that makes
records"
In the process of packaging shows, Irwin be-

In addition to retailing records managing per-

West opened the jack of
hearts and declarer stared
hopelessly at the dummy. All
four players were old friends,
and South knew that West
hadn't led from a king against
a slam in more than 20 years.
Obviously East had the king
of hearts.
South put UP the ace of
hearts, drew trumps, and
cashed the top diamonds, dis
carding the queen Of hearts
and a low club from dummy.
He then ran the rest of the
trumps, hoping something mi
raculous would come to his
rescue. Nothing did. Declarer
eventually had to lose a club.
Down one. And that's when the
screaming started.
Cold Contract
The grand slam was actually
a cold contract. South was in
far too great a hurry when he
discarded the queen Of hearts
from dummy. He should dis
card two low clubs from the
North hand. Declarer can
then cash the top clubs and
ruff a club in dummy. This
sets up South's last club. He
gets to his hand with a trump
in order to lead his good club.
Only then is it time to discard
the queen of hearts from
dummy.
That shows how South was
wrong. Have you noticed where
North was wrong? All four
players we're old friends, so
North knew what sort of player
his partner was. With that
sort of partner North should
have been satisfied with a
small slam. It's foolish to bid
a delicate grand slam when
your partner is an indicate
player!
