By RICK DU BROW HOLLYWOOD UPI — Lee Bouvier, Jacqueline Kennedy’s sister, starred Wednesday night in an ABC-TV adaptation of the suspense mystery “Laura,” and of course nothing else really mattered in the show. The only real suspense was how well Miss Bouvier would make it through the two hours. I mean, it might as well have been named “Lee” instead of “Laura.” As it happens, Miss Bouvier was caught up in a production that was d i s a p pointing all around, and her lack of acting experience, while a contributing factor, was hardly the main cause. The well-known story of the cop who falls in love with the memory of a beautiful apparent murder victim — and then wins her when she turns up alive—had no flair, no elegance, no style, no punch and little pacing. Worse than that, the adaptation by Truman Capote and Thomas W. Phipps, and the direction by John Moxey, left the distinct impression that this version was somehow much more tawdry and less delicate than the memorable 1944 movie of the same name. Comparison with the movie— which is often rerun on television—is not only inevitable, but instructive. The film was high style melodrama, played with verve, yet also with a touch of sophisticated decadence. Wednesday night’s version, like most theatrical presentations nowadays, went far too heavily on the decadence,

thereby losing the charm and sophistication of restrained style. Everything seemed decrepit, and the players gave the impression nothing in the world could thrill them. Miss Bouvier must also stand comparison with Gene Tierney, the “Laura” of the movie. Briefly, Miss Tierney made you feel as though you wanted to put your arms around her and protect her. She was dependent, haunting, and moved aa though in a drama. Miss Bouvier made you feel as though she could very well take care of herself, thank you, and therefore much of the magic was gone. Miss Bouvier also gave the impression that she might be quite a charmer personally, but that, like most neophyte actors and actresses, she was too busy concentrating on her lines to let her natural self come through. She was well covered in the shots set up by director Moxey, but her maturity plus the intense concentration on her lines combined to rob her of the stunning freshness, the appealing vulnerability and the glowing warmth that Miss Tierney brought to the part. Robert Stack played the cop —the role Dana Andrews had in the movie. George Sanders, as Laura’s elderly, acerbic admirer—the part created by Clifton Webb—gave the show its few good moments. And Farley Granger portrayed Laura’s opportunistic, weak beau—but not as well as Vincent Price did in the film.

CONTRACT BRIDGE^ By B. Jay Becker (Top Rocord-Hofder In Matton* Individual Championship Play)

East dealer. North-South, vulnerable. NORTH 4 AQ853 VK764 4 A J10 WEST EAST 4J1064 4» 4QJ2 9 5 4 KQ6 47542 4854 4KQJ10973 SOUTH 4K72 4 A10 9 8 3 4983 4A2 The bidding: East South West North 4 4 Pass Pass Dble Paso 5 9 Pass 6 9 Opening lead — king of diamonds. It is a basic principle of dummy play that if you can make a contract only if the opponents’ cards are divided in a certain way, you assume that that distribution actually exists. In following the principle, declarer may sometimes choose plays that border on the fantastic, but since making the con. tract is always his prime objective, any plays made 4n pursuance of that goal must be regarded as normal. Here is an unusual case where declarer applied the principle and brought home a slam as a result. West led the king of diamonds, taken in dummy with the ace. Declarer cashed the

1A-K of trumps and learned he 1 had. to lose a trump trick to the queen. The contract looked hopeless at this point, since even a 3-2' spade break would not give declarer time to discard the 9-8' of diamonds before West would ruff to cash the setting trick in diamonds. But South thought the matter over carefully, trying to construct hands East-West might have that would permit him to make the contract, and finally came up with the right answer. He led a spade to the king, on which East followed with the nine, and continued with a spade to dummy, finessing the eight after West followed low. When the finesse succeeded, the slam was in the bag. Declarer cashed dummy’s A-Q-5, discarding two diamonds from his hand, and the only trick he lost was a trump. It would not have helped West to play the ten on the second round of spades. South would have returned to his hand with a club and finessed the eight of spades to accomplish the same result. South’s only chance of making the contract after West had shown up with a trump trick was to find East with the singleton nine, ten or jack of spades. The possibility—remote though it was—that this condition might exist was reason enough to justify its assumption.
