Robert A. Thompson, of Worcester road, will be hosts at a dance this evening at the Sheraton-Belvedere Hotel. Of Stage And Screen Horrible Horror Film By R. H. GARDNER I CAN'T recall when I've haled a film as much as "House on Haunted Hill," at the Hippodrome.

Yes, I can too. It was when I saw "Macabre," a similar product by the same producer. After the horrible horror of "Macabre," I wouldn't have ventured into the same block with "House on Haunted Hill" had it not been for an especially agreeable advance agent who Informed me the film involved a new technique, something called "Emergo." 'Enter go1 Emerges As he explained it, spooks and other grim things actually jumped out of the screen and frolicked about Jn the audience; and, while that is not exactly my idea of a perfect evening, I felt a professional obligation to witness it. So I went. "Has anything emerged?" I nervously Inquired of the usherette, having arrived a few minutes late.

"Any apparitions, shrieks, clammy fingers up and down your spine?" She gave me a bored stare. In choosing a seat, I was careful to look up, around and under. Lowering myself to the upholstered cushion, I half expected to hear a groan of protest or have the chair arms reach up and pat me on the head. You never can tell. Just look at stereophonic sound.

So attuned was in fact, to the possibility that something might suddenly swoop out of the wings and cluck at me that, for possibly fifteen minutes, I was able to ignore what was happening on the screen. As time passed, however, and nothing appeared, I was left no alternative but to concentrate on the story. There's this house. In it a lot of people have met death cut up presumably, since, as one character puts it, they've found hands and feet but no heads. Vincent Price Stars Well this millionaire, played by Vincent Price, poor thing, decides, for purposes of the story, to give a haunted house party.

Instead of inviting friends and acquaintances, he hires a bunch of perfect strangers at $10,000 apiece to serve as guests. If they don't survive the night, he tells them cheerfully, the money can go to their heirs. He gives them loaded automatics, kit-tenishly concealed in gift-package-size coffins, one for each person, and tells them to start shooting whenever they feel like it. Then he sends them scurrying to bed. On their way up the stairs they run into his wife hanging on the landing; they have to stop to cut her down.

Later, one of the more hysterical female guests sees the wife gibbering at her through the bedroom window. When the guest, who obviously objects to this sort of thing, runs out of the room she bumps Mrs. W. Stuart Polk, of Roland Park, left yesterday for a Caribbean cruise on the liner Santa Rosa. Emily Frankel is the major soloist and director of the Dance Drama Company, who will be featured at the February 24 Candlelight Concert at the Peabody Conservatory.

The company will present several dances created for their group including "Diamondbacks," a contemporary jazz medley. The late Tyrone Power, who died of a heart attack while making a film in Spain, narrates a film being shown throughout the state during February, in connection with the annual drive of the Heart Fund. Said Power, "Time runs out too soon for many millions because of this health enemy." Boone Middendorf, of Cathedral street, will entertain at luncheon today at the Mount Vernon Club for Mrs. John Alexander Magee 3d, and Mrs. Egerton Conklin.

Trumps And Tricks Shut Out One To Do Foe By ALFRED SHEINWOLD Grabbing The Mints into the wife hanging on the landing like a shapely side of beef, just as before. Oh, the thrills come thick and fast at least one every hour. Bodies come and go, and, at every disappearance, there's a guy who babbles, "They've got her; now, they'll get ks." I kept wishing "they" would get him plus the author, the director and everybody else. Finally, near the end, a small alcove at one side of the stage lighted up and what seemed to be a rather bedraggled skeleton floated out. For possibly 30 seconds this tired spectre moved aimlessly through the auditorium, exciting no comment.

Then it disappeared into its alcove again. I disappeared immediately afterward. SOMETIMES you know that only one opponent is dangerous but cannot tell which of them is the menace. It still pays you to make a play that shuts one opponent out, for he may be the harmful one. East dealer.

North-South vulnerable. North AA732 K753 4 A A J54 At The Mayfair you if they manage to lead two rounds of trumps, for then dummy will have only two trumps for ruffing diamonds. You win with the king of spades and lead a diamond to get rid of dummy's singleton. This will put you in position to ruff diamonds with dummy's trumps. Which diamond did you lead from your hand? A strange diamond lead is necessary.

You know that only one opponent has a trump left in his hand. You hope to lose the diamond to the opponent who has no more trumps. You don't know which opponent that is, Strange Lead Necessary The correct play is to lead the king of diamonds! Only one opponent can win that trick. You must hope that the player who has the ace of diamonds does not have the remaining trump. If you lead a low diamond instead of the king, either opponent can win the trick.

Obviously, the opponent who has the last trump will take care to win the low diamond; and then he will return a trump. This will defeat the contract.

Post My fiance was christened "John," but he has been called "Jack" ever since he was a baby. He insists that 1 use this name on our tcedding inritations. I disagree and think that the name "John" should be used on these forms. Will you please settle this? Answer Very definitely you are right. The nickname "Jack" would be out of place for such formal engraving.
