SHANGHAI NIGHT LIFE SWIFTEST IN ALL WORLD ‘Paris of Orient’ Gives Free Rein to Every Kind of Revelry. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY 1 nltM Pre Staff Correspondent SHANGHAI, April 28.—For unrestrained gayety, riotous living and nocturnal revelry, Shanghai sets a pace as swift as any of the world’s playgrounds. The night life of Paris, London. Berlin, or New York is no more wild than that of Shanghai, the gayest city of the Far East. From darkness to dawn one is never at a loss for a place to dine, dance and frolic. Shanghai abounds in night clubs and cabarets. Called the “Paris of the Orient,” Shanghai gives a free rein to all indulgences. New York night life in its 1928 and 1929 zenith never reached the tempo of Shanghai's frenzied frolic. New York hot spots would have to step up their tempo to compete against Shanghai's nightly retreats. Shanghai’s abundant night clubs make for keen competition. Off the Rue du Consulat, in the French Concession, there is a short street called Rue Chu-Pao-San with more cabarets per square foot than any other spot in the world. There’s a club to fit practically every purse. For $5 (gold), or about $25 (Mcx.), you can stay up all night, dance with beautiful women, buy enough highballs to keep from getting sleepy, and have a rattling good time, if night life is your fancy. Other places you must dig a bit deeper, but you have the finest food, wines and entertainment in the house for your money. But if you know the inside you can cabaret in Shanghai a month on SIOO American money. The prettiest girls in Shanghai are Russians, who migrated after the revolution. They are employed as hostesses, and are vaguely similar to the taxi dance hall girl in the United States. They are, however, more beautiful, better educated and better company than the hostesses in the best American night clubs. Some of them are descendants of Russian royalists. Most of the other girls are French, Chinese, Eurasians and Italians. But most of the hostesses are Chinese girls, and about 75 per cent of the trade is supplied by the better class of Chinese men, who are passionately fond of dancing the American dance steps. It is surprising to find how well the Chinese girl has learned the latest American dance steps. It is unusual to find a bad dancer among the Chinese girls. Most of them dress in semi-European style, retaining the high collar and split skirts. They all wear silk stockings and the slit in their dress reveals their legs to well above the knee. Most of the bands are composed of Filipinos, although there are a few Russian orchestras.

Contract Bridge

BY WM. E. M’KENNEY Seerrtarr Amfriran Bridge I.rarue \ QUESTION frequently asked in regard to the constructive one over one system is “What is the rule and guide for a third hand opening bid?” As you know, in the one over one system, when you make an original bid in first or second position. you are telling your partner that you have the foundation upon which to build for a game or a slam. You have definite rebid values in your hand. In other words, you are bidding for your partner. When both first and second hands pass, and it comes to you third hand, your partner has told you that, while his hand may contain as high as three quick tricks, (and I have passed originally with a hand containing as many as four quick tricks) he doesn’t have the type of a hand on which he wishes to start the bidding. You are now in a peculiar position. If your hand contains little or no strength, then undoubtedly fourth hand has quite a few tickets and will open the bidding. If you can, get in a lead director, or any kind of a bid that may upset your opponents—even a psychic. You know third hand is the best place in which to employ a

psychic. However, they never should be made unless you have a perfect “out.” In other words, in bidding third hand you bid against your opponents, therefore if you think that ycu have a hand that will upset the opponents, or have a good lead director, open the bidding third hand and you will not get into a great deal of trouble. u a IN the following hand, North’s soundest opening is one diamond. What should East do? Overcall with two hearts? I don’t believe so. I prefer to make the informatory double, which is going to tell my partner that my hand contains either hearts or spades—possibly both —and it quickly tells partner that the hand has some possibilities. South will pass the informatory double. West will respond with one spade. East then will bid two hearts, showing his partner that he has no spade support, but that his double was based entirely on hearts and side strength. West is justified in supporting the heart bid to three. East can rea-

| son that his partner would not car- ' ry him to three hearts with only spade strength, therefore he either has strength in clubs or diamonds, or is short in one of those suits. East has a good bid of four hearts. South will open the ten of diamonds which North will win and ' return a diamond, declarer winning the second lead with the king. The declarer should not try for I the heart finesse, because if it fails | —as it will—and South wins, he will return a heart, which will stop a club ruff. The declarer should immediately ; lead a club. When the third diamond is led. he can ruff, lead a ! club, and ruff in dummy, return a heart, win with his ace, and then proceed to cross-ruff the hand out, I making his contract of four odd. !
