Setirsonictctneinaeiiee heel {BRIDGEMAN-RUSSELL Cv. ‘ ppy Ricks’ Star Character in Film 4 ——_ Among the never-forgotten char- acters of present-day magazine fic- tion is that picturesque old chap called Cappy. Ricks, who owns steam- ships and .operates them out of San Francisco toall-parts of the world. He ‘was created by the popular novelist, Peter B. Kyne, and has been kept flive now for a good many years. In. more intimate fashion old Cappy now comes before the public again—almost in real life. He's in a movie - entitled “The Go Getter,” which will open at the Capitol Thea- tre on Sunday. Cappy is portrayed by Charles Winninger, whom you'll remember as Cap'n ‘Andy in the stage play, then the movie, called “Show Boat.” Yet Winninger isn’t the go getter. George Brent, handsome 6-foot Irish actor has that role and is co-starred with the slender, picturesque, wraith- like beauty, Anita Louise. George loves Anita, in the Kyne story. She’s old Cappy Ricks’ daugh- ter. And before Cappy will let George have her, George must go through a lot of tests which Cappy devises, He succeeds in going through them.

The most triumphal of these, the largest set ever built for any motion picture, is that of “Cafe Metropole,” Twentieth Century-Fox lromance opening Sunday at the Paramount Theatre, with Loretta Young, Tyrone Power and Adolphe Menjou in the starring roles. The vastness of the “Cafe Metro- |pole set recalls other monumental |scenic achtevements, such as the huge piaster-cast elephants which, with upraised trunks, guarded the gates of Babylon in D. W. Griffiths trail- |blazing “Intolerance.” These huge beasts still maintain their silent vigil on the ground where the feet of the screen immortals trod. Except for the elephants that set has long ago crumbled into dust but the tradition will forever remain in cinema ar- chives, and in the memories of all {who witnessed the drama there en- acted.

McKENNEY (Secretary, American Bridge League) ‘To make all, except one, of the 13 tricks in a hand is a thrill to most bridge players. The bidding and making of slams is one of the most attractive features of the contract, even when the opponents do not en- ter the auction. ‘How much better, then, is the thrill of making a slam in the face of a ‘Today’s Contract Problem ‘South has opened the bid- ding with one diamond.

In the present instance South had all that was needed for game. Yet West was able to make 12 tricks against his rockcrusher. The fact that North and South were vulnerable, and that East and West were not, explains the bidding. Of course, West did not expect to make his contract, but thought that @ penalty of a trick or two was well worth while, as he felt that his oppo- nents could make five, but believed that they could not make six. ‘He was right as regards the tricks available for his adversaries, but to tng his contrac, long to the acs ef cont ” to the trumps alone. : wai ‘The success of this contract tell- ingly demonstrated the major role played by distribution in the play of many hands at bridge. two of these were made valueles:. by the voids in hearts and clubs adverse hands, A rae In this instance mass strength proved far more potent than high @ Bi] OF ALL THE TERRIBLE PLACES TO TAKE TOM CARR~~ SHADY REST 'S THE WORST aaa === YEP!
