By WM. E. McKENNEY vision of those who read my daily bridge articles that they can point out how a different line of defense or a different method of attack would have brought about a differ- ent result on many hands. To fore- stall any such criticism today, I am going to say at once M. J. Glick, of Today’s Contract Problem South is playing the con- tract at a small slam in no trump. The king of clubs wins the second trick, and then de- clarer forces the ace with his eight. Can South make his contract by careful play, even with both diamonds and clubs not breaking? All vul. Opener—¥ 3. Solution in next issue. Cleveland, would not have made his six no trump contract on today's hand. But West did not, and “Morry” did, and the method by which he did is very interesting. ‘The bidding was normal enough. SOLUTION OF PREVIOUS CONTRACT PROBLEM Opening lead—¥ 10. Even with the lead of the ten of hearts, the contract was not easy to make, requiring a squeeze for its fulfillment. East won the first trick and returned the jack of spades. Glick could count 11 tricks, and the only good chances for the twelfth trick was a squeeze, Five rounds of clubs and two high hearts were cashed, East being forced to discard four times. He could not protect his king of diamonds and also the spade sult. Thus the hand was made. Defense against a no trump contract usually is difficult, and this hand proved no exception to the rule.

AT THE MOVIES | Annual ‘Gold Diggers’ ‘Stream-Lined’ Chorus Is Entertainment Hit “Gold Diggers of 1937”—fourth and most elaborate of the famed series of musical movies which began in 1929 with “Gold Diggers of Broadway,” , and carried on with “Gold Diggers of 1933” and “1935” has been booked by the Capitol Theatre, and willhave its first local showing on Wednesday. Just like the perennial Ziegfeld “Follies” and George White's “San- dals,” these “Gold Diggers” of War- ner Bros. seem to have become a genuine American institution. Com- bining plenty of comedy, lots of hit songs, and no end of speedy and beautiful dancing by big choruses of lovely girls, they have all been tre- ™mendous successes. ‘This 1937 edition co-stars those newlyweds, Dick Powell and Joan Blondell, It features Victor Moore, Lee Dixon, a sensational new dancer, Glenda Farrell, Osgood Perkins, Don- ald Meek, Rosalind Marquis, Irene ‘Ware and other fun-makers, plus 200 dancing beauties trained by Busby Berkeley. health. _ ber, every drop is ‘any you order. Featured in Picture A “streamed-lined chorus” will be the 1936-37 model for dancing girls, Filmland has decreed. In selecting the fifty toe-tapping chorines for “Born to Dance,” the spectacular new musical starring Elea- nor Powell and opening Thursday at the Paramount Theatre, the Metro- Goldwy-Mayer studios issued rigorous instructions regarding physical quali- fications for this ensemble. Dance Director Dave Gould, who was in charge of selecting the “Born to Dance” girls, explains: “A few years ago the athletic, boy- ish type of chorus girl was the rage. They were tall, extremely slender, broad-shouldered girls. Then came the girls with curves, the stocky, rather plump type. But both of these types were experimental and the truly ‘stream-lined’ dancing girl is the hap- py compromise for the new musical and dancing picture.
