Capablanca Rode: 1 TALK a pretty good game of chess. A lot of years ago I could even play one. At least that's MY story. Except for foot-racing and wife-beating, chess is the oldest known sport. The knights of old were so daffy about it ed Clyde Hudkins, who's furnished horses to studios for 20 long years.

"I'm. tired of working with people who are afraid of horses, aren't used to them and don't understand em." In a year or so he'll settle down on his ranch, he said, and try to forget for the rest of his life both Hollywood aid horses. Boosting hefty actresses into the saddle has even cured him of his love for the oatburners. "i still think the critters are smarter than the actors that ride on 'em, though. Why, my animals know when the camera starta turning, and they even try to up-stage each other," he said.

His pet red stallion, he added, makes more than $20,000 a year cavorting for the cinema. Figuring living expenses, that's more than actors make. That definitely proves horses are smarter, he said. "But I'm so tired of training horses to act that when I retire I don't want anything around to re mind me of movies. That includes horses." Most film players, he explained, don't know beans about horses when he shows at the studio's outdoor set with his horses end maybe mules, buckboards and wagons.

One exception, he said. Is James Craig, the Texan star of Eagle-Lion's "A Texas Story," now using Hudkins horses. "That boy was born in a saddle, but few actors were," said Mr. H. "I taught Jimmy Cagney, Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, Kay Francis, Alexis Smith and many others how to ride.

Some of 'em were hopeless cases." One actress, he shuddered, was Meant!

By the time she got onto the horse, the nag was ready for a pill, too. "Long skirts in costume pictures always bothered my horses. The skirts came In handy once. An actress couldn't stay on her horse, so we tied her on and then covered the rope with her skirts." Ida Lupino became so attached to her horse during a picture that she refused to ride anything else, he said.

He had to teach Al Jolson to ride a mule for "Wonder Bar," and Edward G. Robinson to mount a horse for "Little Ccasar."

May 26. Mary Pickford said au revoir to ths former Mrs. Maurice Chevalier (Yvonne Vallee) when she stepped on the train in New York en route home. Said Yvonne: "I'll see you in Paris in a few months." When Mary got off the train at Pasadena, she said: "Why that woman looks like Yvonne." And It was. Without saying a word to Mary, she flew out here to visit at Pick-fair.

She wanted to see Mary's two youngsters and to surprise her.

At the East Side coffee house where I learned how to play, the stake was usually a cup of tea in a glass.

I could have memorized the Five-Foot Shelf in the hours I pent learning how to think 5 moves ahead. I never won many games In this particular coffee house the' chair-warmers thought 10 moves ahead. Yesterday afternoon the telephone in my office kept ringing like crazy. The 20th time it rang I hollered into the mouthpiece. No Spik Engleesh." I got my hat and skedaddled via the back elevator.

QX Sixth Avenue, a friendly hrwM was Mowing kisses at the pretty gals. I ducked Into a side street, lulled half a dozen pennies out of my pocket and started pitching them at a crack. Only fair.

Uflnnn fully with an evening in Central Park. Four hit offerings posted closing notices last week, and it is a safe bet that by June 1 the number of plays and musicals available will be about half of those now on exhibition. "Carousel" will close next Satur day after two years on Broadway.

It will take to the road In the fall, as will Mistress Mine," with the aforementioned Miss Fon-tanne and Alfred Lunt, which will end Its run here on May 31. March and Florence Eldridge, another husband and wife team, by the w-ay, wil close in "Years Ago," on the same date, and "Street Scene," hailed as the first real American opera, shuts shop on Saturday. Perhaps it w'as the "opera" tag stuck onto "Street Scene" that prevented it from attracting the larger crowds it deserved. It had 1G0 performances, a respectable number, but nowhere near long enough to realize even half of Its production cost. Another interesting production, "All My Sons," was barely tottering along until it won the New York Drama Critics award as the best new play of the year.

Those who are planning to come to New York soon and wish to see a show probably will find It im possible to ret into some attractions unless they arrange for seats now. Some good ones remain.
