CONTRACT BRIDGE at the CXPERTS PLAY IT

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Sffrflurt Amrriftn flridce I >id r T''IIE reason that contract bridge ■*- is so fascinating is that it is so absorbing and requires full concentration. One can not concentrate on contract bridge and have any room for thoughts of one’s daily troubles and cares. Watch the drop of the cards—the play of one card may give you the key to the whole hand. In the following hand, played in a duplicate contract match, it was surprising that only one pair was able to make six spades, and, peculiarly. they were the only pair to bid it.

AQ-J-5 VA-2 ♦ 8-4 AK-9-6-5-4-2 Al ° fNORTH A9 - 8 - 4 ‘ V lO-6- NORTH 3.2 5-3 5 V 9-8-7 ♦ Q-6-5- w CP ♦ K-10-7 3 5 H *J-8 *Q-10- Healer 7-3 SOUTH A A-K-7-6 V K-Q-J-4 ♦ A-J-9-2 A A i 88

The Bidding The bidding was South one spade, West pass, North three spades. South then bid four no trump, inviting a slam. North accepted the Invitation and went to six spades. The Play West’s opening lead was the three of clubs, which was won by the declarer with the ace. Declarer then led a small trump and West played the ten. The drop of the ten spot warned the declarer that West was out of spades, and that the four missing spades were all in the East hand—he therefore planned his line of play accordingly. The ace and a small heart were played from dummy, declarer wining the second heart with his jack. He then played his queen of hearts, discarding a diamond from dummy. I The ace of diamonds next was played and a small diamond ruffed In dummy with the five of spades. The king of clubs now was played, declarer discarding a diamond. Declarer’s next play was a small club from dummy. East was down to four trump and the king of diamonds. His best defense was to discard his good king of diamonds. Declarer trumped with the seven of spades and then led the king of hearts and trumped it in dummy with the queen of spades. East had nothing but spades and was forced to undertrump with the three. A club then was led from dummy. East trumped, the declarer overtrumped with the king and then led the ace of spades. He granted east the last trick by leading his jack of diamonds. East trumping with the nine of spades. ALLEGED SLUGGER IS BOUND TO GRAND JURY Negro Held and Companion's Case Is Continued to July 15.

SheafTer on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. Case of Charles De Graphenreed of the same address, Suggs’ alleged companion, was continued until July 15, pending settlement of a probation sentence placed against him in connection with a previous conviction. Mrs. Kitts and Mrs. Alice Smith, Eighteenth street and Shadeland avenue, were annoyed by two Negroes at Eighteenth street" and Roosevelt avenue while driving.

SENATE VOTE IS DUE TODAY ON BEER ISSUE Last-Minute Effort Is Being Made to Bring Showdown Before Adjournment. By ficripps-Hoxcard Keictpaper Alliance WASHINGTON, July 6.—Wets in both houses of congress today embarked on a last-minute effort to legalize beer at once, as pledged by the Democratic platform. Some modifleationists planned a campaign to prevent adjournment of congress until beer Is legalized. Republican house wets, led by F. H. La Guardia <N.. Y.), Fred A. Britten (111.) and Newton J. Maas (Minn.), took the lead in a conference for action today, after Joseph T. Robinson, Democratic senate leader; Speaker John N. Garner and Senator Reed Smoot (Rep.) all had announced plans to smother the “immediate beer’’ movement. The beer advocates concentrated on Senator Hiram Bingham's 3.2 per cent beer bill, offered as an amendment to the Hoover homeloan bank bill. This is slated for a senate vote this afternoon, and apparently not even the combined efforts of Republican Leader James E. Watson and Democratic Leader Robinson can avert a record vote —a vote which may be highly damaging to senators who disregard their party’s pledges. Watson and Robinson are counseling their colleagues to stay dry until after the November election. It is likely that they will obtain enough votes to beat the Bingham amendment, thus making the wetness of both party platforms one of the “forgotten” issues. Bingham (Rep., Conn.), Millard Tydings (Rep., Md.) and other beer advocates are working industriously to corral enough votes to pass the amendment. If it is adopted, a house vote will be forced, regardless of Garner’s attempt to suppress the question on the house floor Tuesday. SEN. THOMAS LEADS Bonus, Oil Tariff Advocate Winning in Oklahoma. Bit I nited Press OKLAHOMA CITY.

PAUL, Minn., July 6.—Six days had passed today and Haskell Bohn. 20, son of the millionaire refrigerator manufacturer, was still in the hands of abductors holding him for $35,000 ransom. Police admittedly are worried over progress of negotiations for the youth’s release, pointing out that in the majority of kidnap cases the victim’s release is obtained after three or four days. Authorities moved to take a more active part in the affair after having held oil at the request of Gebhard C. Bohn, the youth’s father, to allow freedom of negotiation. The elder Bohn announced publicly he is willing to pay for his son’s freedom. FOX HUNTERS TO MEET Dates Set for Southern Indiana Sport Association Sessions. By United Press NEWCASTLE, Ind., July 6.

LADIES OF BEEF TRUST RULED STAGE

Hips, Hips, Hooray Was Slogan Shouted by Theater Fans

Harold Seton is hailed as the champion first ntehter ol the American stage. More than twenty-five years of attendance at premiers have given him an almost ineihausetlble well of memories. This Is the fifth of a series of six interviews with Joseph Mitchell, Times staff writer. BY JOSEPH MITCHELL Time* Staff Writer (Copyright, 1932, by New York WorldTelegram Corporation NEW YORK. July 6.—“ Even in purple tights they would make the Minsky girls look like skeletons.” It is wistfully that Harold Seton, dean of Manhattan’s first nighters, recalls the tremendous ladies of Billy Watson’s “Beef Trust,” and the “Dainty Duchesses,” each duchess burdening the tested scales with 200 pounds, and the “Gay Morning Glories.” He is disconsolate when he recalls the gentle British actress, Mrs. Kendal, of whom it was said she had not seen her plate for years and always was surprised to discover what was on her fork; and the undulant Lillian Russell, ‘‘America’s Greatest Beauty,” who was never svelte enough to compete with Minsky’s “Ada Onion from Bermuda.” “Lithe gnd lissom ladies never got jobs in those choruses,” Mr. Seton said, suffling a handful of photographs of bulky burlesque queens. “At the turn of the century, playgoers preferred what was known as ‘the voluptuous curve.’ “One of the popular chorus maneuvers of the time was the Amazon March. The march was often led by a coryphee of 200 pounds. She carried a sword and was followed resolutely by a brigade of fair women weighing in at 180 each. “One of the sword carriers was Anne Sutherland, who now is proprietress of a restaurant in Greenwich Village. She was not exceedingly stout, however. She played the captain of the guard in ‘Prince Kim,’ at the Casino, in 1893. # St It “T7VEN emotional actresses were H/ large. Those tragic ladies would have laughed heartily at a meal of a lamb chop and a slice of pineapple. They went in for honest T-bone steaks and beer or champagne and lobsters. “Fanny Dayenport, a popular tragedienne and a member of a celebrated family of players, used to breathe heavily in tragic roles. “I saw her as Cleopatra and Gismonda and in other Bernhardt parts, and I recall she used to make her leading man, as well as persons in the audience, uncomfortable in the love scenes because was so monumental. “However, the internationally famous girls in the ‘Florodora’ double sextet were reasonably lithe. This show, one of America’s most successful musical comedies, opened at the Casino in 1900. Those girls undoubtedly caused a shift in taste. “I remember the opening night of that show. The leading lady was Edna Wallace Hopper, the perennial flapper, who was born in San Francisco during the Civil war period and now delivers radio lectures on how to be young and effervescent. “She is approaching 70 and I have been told that she is an excellent adagio dancer. Remarkable lady! “Well, in ‘Florodora’ she had a song hit called ‘Tact.’ But the feature of the show was the famous ‘Florodora Sextet.’ It was double. Six girls and six men. “The girls danced and the men bowed, dropped on their knees, and sang ‘Tell Me, Pretty Maiden, Are There Any More at Home Like You?’ The girls sweetly, replied, ‘There Are a Few, Kind Sir.’ “The girls were dressed in the hour-glass fashion, slim waists and thick hips. Tights were popular only in the music halls. It was not until a couple of decades later that the bare leg and shin idea was imported from the cabarets of Paris. “TT'VEN in that innocent time s-j wealthy showgirls married poor noblemen, Anna Robinson, a little girl from Philadelphia, retired from Broadway and went to live in Paris. “Her jewels and furs excited the town, and soon she was married to the impoverished Earl of Rosslyn, who had acted in Manhattan as St. Clair Erskine. He first was divorced by Violet Vyner, and was later divorced by Anna. “They became known, respectively as Violet Countess of Rosslyn, and Anna, Countess of Rosslyn, creating considerable confusion, especially when a third wife Vera Bayley became Vera, Countess of Rosslyn! “Poor Anna later returned to New York penniless, and when she died her body was saved at the last moment from the potter’s field by her sister, Margaret Robinson, also an actress. “Incidentally, another titled gentleman who acted on Broadway was the eccentric Earl of Yarmouth, who appeared in a melodrama, ‘The Price of Peace,’ in 1901. He married Alice Thaw, sister of Harry K., and held up the marriage ceremony until the family gave him a huge settlement. They were later divorced. “It was a spectacular show and all the girls in the sextet married well. Marie Wilson, an extremely shapely member, was married to that celebrated man about town, Freddie Gebhard. uncle of the first Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt. “Even the stage manager of the ‘Florodora’ company married well. He was Walter C. Russell, known in the theater as Louis Hooper. He surprised the town by becoming the son-in-law of Mrs. Jack Gouraud, whose daughter by the first of her five husbands, Gladys Ashe, was soon to inherit a share

WATER IS USED AS MOVIE ORNAMENT “Unashamed,” With Helen Twelvetrees and Robert Young, Opens Friday at the Palace for Week. WATER as a modernistic decoration is a perfectly good ornament in moving pictures.. One of the most spectacular night club scenes ever filmed was created chiefly by the use of a hydrant and water pressure. This remarkable scene is a spectacular detail of “Unashamed,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer s mystery drama of the modern age, which opens Friday at Loew’s Palace. The stage of the “night club” was piped and a huge jet of water, spoiling fifty feet into the air, was the center of a dancing spectacle on it. The torrent was lighted by hundreds of electric lights, and shifting colors, projected on it by miniature

magic lanterns, gave an extraordinary effect. Cameras placed above and below the kaleidoscopic fountain picked up the dancers, as water nymphs, tis they cavorted above the spectacular pillar of water and light. “Unashamed,” based on a story by Bayard Veiller, author of “The Trial of Mary Dugan.” and “Within the Law,” is a tense thriller of the younger age of today, with a mystery and a sensational courtroom climax. Harry Beaumont directed the new production, in which Helen Twelvetrees plays the heroine and Robert Young the hero. The large cast also includes Lewis Stone and Jean Hersholt, of “Grand Hotel” fame, John Miljan, Monroe Owsley, Robert Warwick, noted screen star of silent days; Gertrude Michael, Wilfred North, Tommy Jackson and Louise Beaver.

Aimee’s Dave Is Crowned as ‘The Great Unkissed’

By United Press LOS ANGELES, July 6.—The ranks of Angelus Temple members appeared to be split today over the $200,000 breach of promise suit brought by Myrtle Hazel St. Pierre against David L. Hutton, husband of their pastor, Aimee Semple McPherson Hutton. Hutton, who surrendered the nickname of “Iron Man” to be blushingly crowned “The Great Unkissed,” during court proceedings, stood amazed while two score persons, who said they were temple members acclaimed Miss St. Pierre. The self-asserted Angelus Temple members hailed Hutton’s brunette nurse accuser as their “heroine,” thrust great bouquets of flowers at her, and praised her as Hutton watched on the courthouse steps. “I don’t believe they’re from the temple,” he finally muttered. “Bunk, all bunk, that’s what that is!” The demonstration clouded a day of victory for Hutton. Following a short cross-exami-nation, during which he denied again the affectionate scenes described earlier by Miss St. Pierre, his opponent’s attorney directed a final shaft at Hutton: “And, then,” he said, “so far as you and this girl are concerned, you. Mr. Hutton, are the great unkissed ! ”

VICTORY PAEAN LOUDLY SUNG BY DEMOCRATS Senators, Back in Capital, See Sweeping Triumph in Fall Ballot. BY LEO R. SACK Timts Staff Writer WASHINGTON, July 6.—Democratic senators today are looking forward to victory in the presidential campaign next fall. They returned to Washington pleased with their convention, the nominees, and the platform, and ready to carry the fight to President Hoover, just as did Franklin D.- Roosevelt in his acceptance speech. * "We will * sweep the country in November. Nothing but a miracle can stop us." predicted Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee. “We will carry Ohio, Indiana. Illinois. Minnesota, and very likely Wisconsin and Michigan. “We safely can add to these states the entire west, with the exception possibly of lowa and California.” Roosevelt, according to McKellar, “looks like a President, talks like a President, acts like a President, and will be an actual and a real honest-to-God President. He will lead this country back to prosperity instead of pussyfooting it into further depression and panic. Jack Garner adds greatly to the strength of the ticket. He has all the qualifications.” Sweeping Triumph Seen Senator Connally of Texas, who nominated Garner for the presidency, said, “My view is that the ticket will sweep the country. Rooeevetl made a fine impression.” Senators Dill of Washington and Hull of Tennessee, both Roosevelt leaders, said the Republicans already are on the run. Democrats here will urge a fighting campaign—one similar to that of 1930, when, under the leadership of executive director Jouett Shouse, the faults of the Republicans were hammered mercilessly. Roosevelt, in his acceptance speech, indicated that he will hold Hoover and his “Republican leadership” responsible for the nation’s troubles, while Garner is noted for his habit of calling a spade a spade. Garner is expected to confer with Roosevelt soon. It is expected he will agree to carry most of the burden of the campaign oratory, although Roosevelt probably will make a number of speeches in the east and middle west. Delighted by Support Democratic leaders here were delighted with the prompt manner in which Governor Ritchie, former Governor Byrd, Melvin A. Traylor, and former Senator Reed of Missouri, candidates; John W. Davis, 1924 nominee, and other leaders opposed Roosevelt’s nomination, have pledged their support. A1 Smith still is the “Unhappy Warrior,” but Tammany leaders have promised their aid. Meanwhile, James A. Farley, new Democratic national chairman, has begun planning his campaign organization. A tentative finance committee has been appointed to raise funds. Among preliminary members are M. L. Benedum, Pittsburgh oil operator, who gave more than SIOO,OOO to Herbert Hoover four years kgo, and Amon G. Carter, Ft. Worth publisher, who helped to finance the Garner presidential campaign. The “victory” organization, founded by former Chairman John J. Raskob, is expected to carry on.
