THE SUN. BALTIMORE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 1, 1959 PAGE 12 "6 I Trumps And Tricks A Fair Exchange By ALFRED SHEINWOLD The PRINCIPLE used in today's hand Ls very simple but nobody seems to think of it. See if you can make four spades without reading the explanation. South dealer. North-South vulnerable.

You are in danger of losing a trick in each suit. If you try to ruff a club in dummy, East will over-ruff. He will get out safely with a heart or a diamond, and you will still lose a trick to the king of trumps. You would like to get to the dummy to finesse through the king of spades.

Is there any way to do so? Create A Ruffcr The method is to create a ruffer in dummy. Take the ace of clubs at the second trick and then lead the king of clubs, discarding a diamond from dummy. East ruffs and leads a diamond. You take the ace of diamonds and lead your last club, discarding another diamond from dummy. This gives West his ten or queen of clubs, but gets rid of dummy's last diamond.

Now you can ruff a diamond In dummy and lead in trump through East to pick up the king of trumps. The rest is easy. This is an extreme example of the "loser-on-loser" play. You will find simpler cases in actual play if you just look for them. Dr.

and Mrs. Charles L. found that each time one died, he grieved so much that he could no longer replace them with other birds which in time, too, would die. Dr. Interrante, who was music director at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington during World War says his canaries were different.

They were very discriminating about music and liked opera best. They loved to harmonize with one another for some close harmony a la Verdi or Puccini. He'll Play Tapes Dr. Interrante will be at the hobby show on Saturday from 3.30 P.M. to 5 P.M.

to play some of these tapes, including a duet between two canaries in which the canary furnishing the harmony gives the proper cues to the canary singing the melody. The mocking bird, who lives in the neighborhood, comes several times a day with his mate to visit Dr. Interrante. The mocking bird, unlike other wild species, actually sings tunes rather than just chirping calls, says Dr. Interrante.

But no matter, there is one thing of which Dr. Interrante is positive. That is "nature is always ahead of man." Daily Question Partner opens with two spades (forcing to game) and the next player passes. You hold: A 2, A 10 6, 4 2, 10 6 4 3. What do you say? Answer Bid three clubs.

Find the best trump suit first and show the full strength later. If you can find a fit in any suit but spades, you will surely push on to slam.

By ROBERT G. BREEN Italy and worked for three years making perfume and cosmetics in Milan. Although he returned here to resume his professional practice, he found that perfume making "stayed in my blood." Perfume, says Dr. Interrante, has had long and illustrious usage even from the time of the noble Greeks. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, prescribed perfumes for "tensions and nervous conditions," says Dr.

Interrante, who adds that in the Middle Ages perfume was used for "therapeutic and germicidal purposes." That perfume is a germicidal is confirmed for Dr. Interrante by the fact that at the perfume factory in Milan none of the workers ever contracted the common cold. "Following the old masters, like Hippocrates," Dr. Interrante comes along now and says he has developed, using his floressence, a propylaxis for the common cold which acts as a preventive and "stops the dripping" if you already have a cold. Variety Used Dr.

Interrante, a widower, grows the flowers used in obtaining his floressence. These include hyacinths, narcissi, violets, August lilies, carnations, honeysuckle and clematis. In addition to his floressence, Dr. Interrante will also bring his tape recordings of his pet canaries to the Senior Citizens Hobby Show. At one time Dr.

Interrante had many birds, having trained hundreds of them to sing, not only solo, but in duets and group singing. In recent years he has let his collection of canaries pass as they would die. He It takes "tons" of flowers to make an ounce of oil from which perfume is made. And even this oil does not exude the fragrance of the flower from which it was obtained the oil must be combined with other ingredients before a perfume with the true odor of, say, roses is obtained. It was because of this complicated situation, explains Dr.

Nicholas Interrante, a spry retired gentleman living in Govans, that his curiosity was inflamed to such a degree that he felt compelled to find a simpler means of extracting odors from flowers. Now Dr. Interrante has met with success, he says, in his quest for the captured fragrance of flowers. does not make perfume, rather Dr. Interrante calls his product "floressence." This floressence Dr.

Interrante obtains by a process he calls "enfleurage," on which he worked for "seven or eight" years before perfecting. Process Is New This is an entirely new process which he alone has developed, says Dr. Interrante, who adds that his process doesn't harm or deteriorate the flowers. Samples of Dr. Interrante's floressence will be on view at the hobby show which the Junior League of Baltimore is having at the Memorial Stadium on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

The public may view this Senior Citizens Hobby Show from 2 P.M. to 9 P.M. on Friday and Saturday and from 2 P.M. to 5 P.M. on Sunday.

Dr. Interrante's interest in perfume goes back nearly 40 years to the time after World War I when he went to his native Mr. and Mrs. C. Meredith Boyce and their children have returned to their Underwood road home after vacationing at Naples, Fla.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward T. McLean and their daughter, Miss Katherine McLean, have returned to their home, Stillpond, Glyndon, after a short trip to London. Mr.

and Mrs. William R. Blalock, of Rtanmore court, have announced the birth of a son, Alfred Gordon Blalock, on March 22 at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. Mrs. Blalock is the former Miss Ellen Gordon Needles, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. John O. Needles, pf Westbury, Long Island, New York. Of Stage And Screen Turner Lana In Film 'Soap Opera' By R. GARDNER Designing Woman Crossword Puzzle ficial quality one has grown to expect from this kind of film.

It is almost as if the two groups were operating on different wave lengths, which naturally weakens the over-all dramatic impact and makes the spectator, even when he is crying, mildly resentful of the whole business. The split character of the proceedings is also evidenced in the writing. I have neither rtad Miss Hurst's novel nor seen the original screen version, but I understand both concerned two mothers one white and one Negro who join forces to make a small fortune in pancakes. In the current version, adapted by Elea-nore Griffin and Allan Scott and directed by Douglas Sirk, the pancakes have disappeared. The white mother (Miss Turner) is a glamorous legitimate actress, while the Negro mother (Miss Moore) functions as her companion and maid.

Complications arise not in the relationship of one to the other but rather of each to her daughter. Aware that her mother is more interested in her career than anything else, the white daughter (Miss Dee) suffers from the most popular children's disease of our time emotional neglect. The Negro daughter, though she has no complaint on this score, is, in view of her virtually white skin, violently resentful of her Negro heritage. She feels, therefore, that her only chance of succeeding in a white world is to disavow her mother and make a life for herself elsewhere. Naturally this breaks her mother's heart.

As indicated, the scenes devoted to developing this all too valid, contemporary theme are generally as well written as they are well acted. Not so, however, with the rags-to-Broadway theme. When, for example, Miss Turner, playing the part of a stage-struck novice, makes her first appearance at a Broadway rehearsal and criticizes one of the author's scenes, instead of being fired she is applauded and the scene rewritten at her direction. Later, after she has achieved her first success, the author (Mr. O'Herlihy) takes her to the window of his sumptuous penthouse apartment and, with a sweeping gesture toward the million lights of Broadway, declares, "Now, all of this is yours." Such cliches are somewhat compensated for, by the uniformly admirable work of Miss Moore, who deserves nothing less than an Academy Award for tht best supporting performance of the year.

Though puzzled at the time, now that, after two unsuccessful attempts to breach the crowds at the Mayfair, I have managed to see the picture I understand for, when you feel you can endure it no longer, you can derive some enjoyment by turning and observing its effect upon your friend. The movie is, in other words, an old-fashioned tear-jerker the sort of thing which, by means of a prolonged death scene toward the end, opens all the sluices in the audience so that the theater takes on the appearance of a deluge. It is excellent medicine for those who like to cry and, since most women seem to, should prove itself highly palatable to at least half the population.

"I'm sorry," gasped the usually imperturbable female at my side when, following the funereal fadeout, the house lights went on to reveal the chaos around us. She dabbed her swollen countenance. "It's just that that last part got me." For my own part, I managed to hold up through the death scene, but when Ma-halia Jackson appeared at the bier and began filling the theater with her deep, melodic voice, I busted loose. I suppose the unexpected encounter of something real and beautiful after all that schmaltz was too much for me. Not that "Imitation of Life" is all imitation.

In addition to Miss Jackson's appealing contribution, it has a fine, perfectly controlled performance by Juanita Moore in the role of a long-suffering Negro mother who disapproves of her daughter's determination to pass herself off as white. There are also some fine bits turned in by Sandra Dee, Karen Dicker and Terry Burnham as children of various ages. On the other hand, there's Miss Turner whose performance, though far from bad, is conceived at the approximate level of the standard Hollywood soap opera. Since some of the others, notably Miss Moore, reach to a far greater depth, the film has something of the character of a split personality. Most of the scenes involving Miss Moore and her daughter (satisfactorily portrayed by a handsome newcomer named Susan Kohner) are moving and convincing, while those involving Miss Turner and those connected with her side of the story John Gavin, Dan O'Her-lihy and Robert Alda are of the glib super Dorothy Dix ACROSS 1-Most rational.

I've been brought up in the business and it's the only one I know anything about. Dad expects my wife to join the enterprise, which will bring us a good living and assure our future. Beth, however, has other ideas. She doesn't like the restaurant business, claims we'll turn her into a slave (which definitely is not true) and wants us both to work at something else. Every time I ask her to set a date for-our marriage, she hedges.

She won't even talk about our future. Her main topic of conversation are her girl friends and clothes. I deeply love this girl and don't want to break tip. Dom. Answer Nothing is rosy in the picture, except the spaghetti sauce.
