South agonized over the guess and finally played the jack. West won with the queen of hearts and returned a heart to the ace. Now East returned the three ot diamonds. "Why is East in such a hurry to lead diamonds?" South wondered. "Is this a natural play, or is he trying some monkey business?" If a strong East had the king of diamonds, he might be returning a diamond in the hope of talking declarer out of a normal finesse.

However, South knew that East was not that strong a player. If this particular East had the king of diamonds he would lead some other suit and wait for South to tackle the diamonds by himself. If East didn't have the king of diamonds, there was only one hope. South played the ace of diamonds and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes the king of diamonds had dropped on the trick, and the rest was easy.

Daily question Partner opens with 1 NT (16 to 18 points), and the next player passes. You hold: 10 7 4 of spades, 10 7 5 of hearts, of diamonds, 9 8 4 2 of clubs. What do you say? ANSWER: Pass. The partnership might be better off at two clubs, but if you bid two clubs partner will have to bid. Vou would be happy if he bids two hearts and you would pass two spades with only slight misgivings, but what if he bids two diamonds? Your best bet is to pass him at 1 NT and hope for the best.

SHRIMP unn2M Sj WE DELIVER AWYWHErT sQJaU ko i(o no l. Tain St. Bonier Tif'wTiTiTJ tiniaf Ream Curl Sanica 'lHHHKt' By Joe Leydon Times Amusements F.ditor In a film season marked by so much frenetic mindlessness, "Islands in the Stream" offers an oasis of quiet intelligence. This is hardly a great film; indeed, some of it is barely mediocre. But the story, although leisurely paced, is always interesting.

More important, the characters involved are sympathetic and sharply drawn. Whenever one does, you feel a sense of tragic loss. Based on the posthumous novel by Emest Hemingway. "Islands" is divided into three chapters "The Boys." "The Woman" and "The Journey." This may sound terribly pretentious, as though director rYanklin J. Schaffner were striving to make the film look more important by stressing Us literary origins.

The division, however, actually brings continuity to the rambling story of Thomas Hudson, a middle-aged artist living in the Bahamas during the early lttOs. Hudson (George C. Scott), seeking refuge from fame and memories of two failed marriages, appreciates the isolation of his island home, where he can work when he wants to, or enjoy a blowsy prostitute (Susan Tyrrell; when he does not. His casual, thoughtless life is menaced only by the looming threat of World War II, represented by German submarines on patrol off the coast. Then "The Boys" arrive.

The arrival of his three sons makes Hudson uneasy, and with good reason. While the oldest and the youngest boys love Hudson, the middle child (played with remarkable perception by Michael-James Wixted) can see beneath the artist's hearty bluster. He remembers how Hudson mistreated his mother, Hudson's second wife. As the summer vacation slowly unwinds, Hudson finds himself desperately wooing the middle child, determined to win his affection. Director Schaffner permits this first section of the film to develop at a slow, even pace.

Nothing is rushed or hysterical, not even a sudden shark attack. Surprisingly, section is never boring, although a long fishing sequence is marred by the use of grainy stock footage. Schaffner, unlike so many contemporary directors, is determined to let the characters reveal themselves gradually, through dialogue and reaction rather than action. George C. Scott has grown a beard so he can resemble Hem- ingway.

He has also managed to capture the author's enthusiasm for friendship and fishing. Yet Scott subtly undercuts the macho image of Papa Hemingway by revealing the self-doubt and inner loneliness which torment Hudson, the Hemingway-styled hero. was so painfully autobiographical that Hemingway never submitted it for publication during his lifetime. The manuscript was released nine years after his death.) The concept of. Hemingway as a frightened pretender is a bit too pat though no doubt very popular among many modern thinkers but Scott's performance is shrewd and affecting.

Although Hart Bochner is adequate enough as Hudson's oldest son, he has the melancholy look of a man who has been told he is suffering from a terminal disease. It comes as no real surprise, then, when Hudson's first wife arrives to announce the lad has been killed in the war. This announcement is part of "The Woman," the second section of the film. Claire Bloom plays the first Mrs. Hudson, a loving woman made cynical by the vagaries of life and matrimony.

Bloom projects an icy cool, perhaps intended to reflect the character's ambivalent feelings toward Hudson. Unfortunately, she winds up looking almost heartless. This section belongs entirely to Scott, as he gropes for the words to express his love for the wife he abandoned and the son he has lost. "The Journey," the last and least part of the film, is a melodramatic account of Hudson's efforts to smuggle war refugees into Cuba. This section resembles the film version of Hemingway's "To Have and Have Not," with David Hem-mings substituting for Walter Bren-nan in the broken-down alcoholic role.

Hemmings, looking chubby and world-weary, is very convicing, but the switch from character study to adventure-film heroics is awkward. Schaffner's low-keyed approach, so effective in the earlier segments, is woefully inappropriate for this bumpy "Journey." "Islands in the Stream" is best when it centers on people instead of plot. The film is blessed with a marvelously literate script (by Denne Bart Petitclerc), and fine actors who bring that script to life. Despite its flaws, it towers impressively over most other contemporary films. (Now playing at the Southpark Cinema, "Islands in the Stream" is rated PG, due to brief scenes of violence.
