Therefore West's singleton Diamond should be the King. The two No Trump bid by South should show two stoppers in the ad- versely declared Club suit. These stops are very likely the Ace and Queen, for if West had held the Ace of Clubs together with his other high cards, an informatory double over the original Diamond bid would been preferable to the Club dec tion. Again, holding five Clubs to the Ace-Queen or the King-Queen-ten, a Club would have been a better opening lead. In scoring this deal, full credit will be allowed for proper play to the first trick and the actual cards shown in Spades, Hearts and Diamonds. The Club suit will be judged cor- rect if South’s holding is given as good as the Ace-ten-three-two. 26 The Theatre (Continued from page 16) As for me, after a careful serutiny and ponderation of this newest dish— led “Tomorrow and Tomor row”—all I can report is that all 1 can perceive in it is a vast and encom passing emptiness. The trite tale of a woman, lonely and childless, who has a baby by a strange man and whose life s well as that of her unsuspecting husband—is henceforth made round and full, it persuades the more easily hornswoggled to accept it for something decply meditative and mysteriously through — its ithor's device of couching it in the species of writing that, being quietly and elaborately reticent, hints at in scrutable profunditics of mind and philosophical undertones and over tones which are actually not in the concrete evident little vol alled * “There lived in searching slightest Many ume of fantasies a tritl Savant.” ft) ran: Box lout who was even more empty-headed than his most’ empty headed neighbor and who yet through out the land was looked on as. a degree | shrewd and wise and very sapient fel low... .
