THE WATCHMAN -Br idgettes- By CONSTANCE MESSENGER A C2-.j-r, • Q .1 4 * Q-J-3 A 10-8-1-2 V .1-7-5 • !)-r, • K-9-.S-I Neither Side Vulnoiiihlo r:at Dealer The Bidding Kast South West North 1 Ilenrt I'a.s.s 2 Dirunotuls I'ass 3 N. T. I'aas I'ass i'ass This clet)artment has been re- <nicste(l to explain the difference between the \hold up\ and \duck- ing.'' The above hand illustrates the use of each principle. They re- semble one another, with this dif- ference: The ol)ject of the hold up is to refuse to allow the opponents to establish tricks in a suit, until it is too late to use them; -while the object of \ducking-\ is to es- tablish winning- tricks for the de- clarer by preserving entries. This is done by giving the op- ponents a trick which could have been won by dealer. Tn the above hand South leads the club 4 (some players would lead the spade 2). North plays the club jack and East \holds up.\ He wishes to wait until North has no more clubs, so that if he later gets in the lead, he will be unable to lead a club back to South whose hand may contain five clubs. To the second trick. North leads the club queen and East still em- ploys the \hold up,\ playing the club 10. To the third trick. North leads the club 3, forcing the club ace from East's hand. This play showed that South's hand contained only four clubs. East realizes that to insure his contract of nine tricks, he will have to establish low card tricks. The only available suit is dia- monds, and since West's hand con- tains no entries other than dia- monds, East will have to concede one diamond trick to the opponents in orde'r to establish four tricks in diamonds for his needed game. Tn other words, he employs the \ducking\ principle. To trick 4, East leads the dia- mond 2, South plays the diamond 6, West plays the ace and North the diamond 4. To trick 5, West loads the heart 4, and East i)lays the heart ace. Tn trick 6. Ea.st plays the dia- mond 5. South the diamond 9, West plays the diamond 10 and Nortii plays tlie diamond (lueen. No matter wiiat Nortli plays now, East fiiinils his contrait for he will take the next trick, enter West's hand witli the diamond king, and discni'd two losers on tlie estaii- llshed diamonds. He wins 4 diamond tricks, 2 spades, 2 hearts anil 1 clui). Had lii> not emplo.Nod the prln- cii)lo of \ducking\ he would have been defeated.

A magnificent cavalcade of romance, splendor and excitement, \Marco Polo\ is the first film of the rough, tough days of the Emperor Kublai Khan, mightiest monarch in the East in the thirteenth century. It gives Gary his chance to show to what great advantage such a part as the swashbuckling, loving, fight- ing Marco Polo, he can play. The picture opens with young Marco I'olo being sent as the world's first traveling salesman, by a route never before attempted because of it's many dangers, from Venice to China, to open a new trade route to the East. How then he is beset upon on all sides by th,e swarming hordes of a rival Chief, and how in a terrible crisis he teaches them the use of gunpowder, which be- fore that they had only used for firecrackers. Featured in the sup- porting cast are Basil Rathbone, Alan Hale, Binnie Barnes and a new Norwegian find, Sigrid Gurie. Many times the question has come up as to what happened to those six young g-utter rats who gave you such swell perforinancos in \Dead End,\ in fact they have come to be known as the \Dead End\ Kids. Far from being out of the picture they have proven their acting ability in \Crime School,\ which has an extended three-day run at the Suffolk Theatre start- ing next week on Thursday. They share starring honors with Huni- jilire.v Bogart and fit into their parts as, tough east side hoodlums to peifection. \Crime School\ is brand now in entertainment themo: it shows just wiiat besets the lives of the socalled tough kids of the streets, how with nothing else to u.so up .thoii- overtlowing enorg.\' Gary Cooper at His Best In 'Adventures of'Marco Polo' Some absent - minded custodian left tlie asylum door open and three upper classmen will grad- uate with degrees of bughouse- cum-laude-and-fynnier. Which is only an inadetjuate way of trying to explain what will take place at the Greenport Theatre this Friday and Saturday when the Ritz Bros, bring \Kentucky Moonshine\ to local audiences that will go hys- terical. A radio company sends its talent scout, Tony Martin, down to Kentucky to get some real hill- billies. Marjorie Weaver, waiting for an audition, overhears the plans and rushes back to tell the Ritz Bros. They go down to the mountains, disguise themselves as mountaineers, get mixed up in an old feud, hoodwink Tony Martin into putting on a broadcast in the mountains, and when the smoka clears away a romance nearly goe.s on the rocks, is patched up agaiij and fame on the radio comes to every one. But, like a triple-decker sandwich—it's what goes on in between that leaves the audience limp with laughter. The film in- cludes Slim Rummreville, John Carradine, W'ally Vernon, Berton Churchill and Eddie Collins in the cast. A magnificent calvalcad<i of ro- mance, splendor, excitement and fun will move swiftly across the screen of the Greenport Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday In Samuel C.oldwyn's greatest screen masterpiece, \The Adven- tures (jf Marco Polo.\ The produc- tion offers Gary Cooper in his most romantic role as the swashbuck- ling adventurer who was the world's first traveling salesman and opened the first important trade route 1)etween Europe and Asia during the colorful rolgn of the great Chinese Emperor.
