Bridge BY E. McKKNNKY Secretary American Bridge League In life we are constantly warned to provide for a rainy and so should a good bridge player provide for unusual distribution and bad -breaks. Today's hand was played in a recent national tournament. A10-5-3-2 V9-3 Q-9-5-4 7.3 uj 5 K-9-6- 5 -i 2 5-2 8-2 SOUTH I A4 VQ-J-7 A-K-J-10-6 0-7-3 The Bidding South, the dealer, opened with one diamond. West 'doubled, North passed and East bid one heart.

South bid two diamonds, West two spades, North passed, East bid three spades and West went to four spades. The Play North had the opening lead. When holding four of your part; ner's suit to a high honor, some players prefer to open fourth best, but it Is better to open the top or your partner's suit unless you have had an oppottunity to, support his suit. As North hail not supported his partner's bid, his proper opening the queen of diamonds and when it held the trick, he continued with the nine of diamonds which South won with the ten of diamonds. South led his ace of clubs and the singleton jack of clubs was played from dummy.

South felt that it was best to continue a club, as the discard that the declarer would get in dummy would be of no value to him. Declarer won the trick with the king of clubs, discarding a heart from dummy. Declarer then pulled one round of trump with his ace of spades. There does not seem to be much to the play of the hand now, but the declarer had to provide against the trumps being bunched in one hand, if declarer had now led his king of spades, his contract would have been defealed-thc second spade trick must be won in dummy. If he had led the of would have been defeated also.

He led the nine of spades, Noith played the 'deuce and the dummy won the trick with the jack. South showed out of spades, discarding a diamond. A small heart was led from dummy, declarer winning the trick with the ace and returning the four of hearts, which was won dummy with the king. The six of hearts was icturned from dummj and South played the queen and now you can see the reason why the nine of spades had to be the second tiump lead. The declarer must trump this heait trick with the king of spades, which shuts out North.

The seven of spades was then led, the queen and eight in dummy giving dummy a tenace position over Noith's ten and five. When North played the five of spades, the eight was played from dummy and then the queen of spades which, picked up North's fen. The two hearts, which were good, were then cashed and West, by using the rare play known as the Titt coup, made his contract of four spades. Steak Dec. 27, 1931 One Dollar HOTEL KINNEY Cuba, N.

Two weeks at sea with a deck load of pineapples sounds safe enough in any weather, especially on a 90-foot steam yacht. never again, says Chester Morris, ar of the United Artists picture, "dorsair," which comes to the Talacc tonight ut midnight. Not, at least, when the "pineapples" are of the Chicago variety high-cxplosivo bombs. A few fights with rum running boats, an unexpected storm and the difficulty of taking movies on the high seas and the reason for Chester's "never again" becomes apparent. It was all necessitated by the fact that Chester Morris was starring In Roland West's produc-lion, "Corsair." This is an auapt-tation of the Walton Green novel of the same the tale of an All-American football hero who turns pirate.

New Year's Eve. A rare treat is in store for Olean moviegoers starting Thursday night at the Palace theatre, for "The Big Parade," King VI-dor's masterpiece, has been reissued by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer with sound effects and will be shown at this theatre. Time has not lessened the effectiveness of this picture which will go down into history as the most stirring and realistic story of the World War. Its tremendous scenes are given added spectacle through being heard as well as seen for now we not only see the gripping episodes in which the American soldiers stalk through Bellcau Wood in the face of terrific machine-gun fire to be mowed down like so much hay. but hear the guns, airplanes, explosions and incidental sounds as well.

HAVEN Tonight, Midnight Virginia Cherrill, blonde beauty introduced to the screen as Charles Chaplin's leading lady in "City Lights," is Janet Gaynor's rival for the attentions of Charles Farrcll in "Delicious," Fox melody romance opening tonight at midnight at the Haven Theatre. Miss Cherrill is seen as the daughter of a social climbing mother who stops at nothing to interfere with the romance of Charlie and the little Scotch immigrant, because it threatens to wreck all her plans. "Delicious" features six popular song numbers by Geoige Gershwin aud was directed by David Butler. Wednesday Tallulali Baukhead, star ot "Tarnished Lady" and "My Sin," both of which talking features she scored individual triumphs far beyond the plot opportunities, has a role minutely fitted to her enigmatic, excitement-craving self in "The Cheat," a modernized Paramount edition of Hector Turn-bull's famous box-office leader of silent days. She has the role created then by Fanny Ward.

Laid in a section of the old West where corruption was as deeply intrenched as it is in our cities today, the new film is said to teach a much needed lesson to members of the present generation. The one way to break up organized outlawry is to send in some man who is strong enough to break it up. STATE Sunday The action of Fox-picture coming Sunday to the State Theatre, takes place hundreds of miles behind the lines, background for what is described as one of the most heart throbbing i dramas of the season, a film cm- bracing a love story and many tense moments. "Surrender, based on Pierre Benoit's unusual and thrilling novel, tells the story of a handsome and dashing young Frenchman who finds himself a prisoner in a German punishment damp. His humor and spirits are unquenchable in the face of brutal discipline, privation and confinement.

LETTERS TO EDITOR Editor, Olean Times: Representative of American Federation of Labor Mr. William Collins speaking in Olean Dec. 18th, attempts to explain plan to relieve employment situation and comes ncaier just that than to relieve the unemployed. The American Federation of Labor has always, as was disclosed at the Vancouver Convention, been against unemployment insurance which is the first requisite after a worker has been forced from his or her job. Workers, you must not lose track of the fact that your starvation wage is the lash the capitalists of to-day use as the chattel slave owners did the whip, to farther exploit you, and the American Federation of Labor does all in their power to keep you satisfied even Mr.
