BY KUZABETH LONERGAN.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7. (Special.)
Innovations in first nights
are rather hard to find; John
Golden, however, managed to have
a novel opening. It was an invita
tion at't'iiv. to critics and a few in
vited (juests, to see "'Spite Corner"
the. night before the regular public
van invited to pay for their seats.
And a Sunday performance at that!
Wc do not have them except in the
vaudeville houses on that day.
Madge Kennedy is the star of the
new Golden-Prank Craven offering,
which is very good, though not so
good as his great success. "The
First Year."
"Spite Corner" tells of a boy and
girl love affair that is broken up
when ine young man goes to the
city to seek his fortune. He does
not even write to his sweetheart,
and wham he conies back after five
years he asks so casually whether
she is niarritcl ' no! that the coun
try girl resolves then and there
ntvr to nu.-ali t- him. The rest of
the play is devoted to this condition
of affairs until the last act. when
she finally speaks to say that she
will marry him after all. There are
many amusing lines and comic situ
ations, as Mr. Craven knows so well
how to create. The cast is excel
lent Eva Condon, Marie Day, Percy
Pollock, Hattie Keene, Stephen
Mlvm Jason Robards, Beatrice
Moves and Sam Colt. Miss Kennedy
again demonstrates her ability as a
good comedienne ana ner many
friends are glad that she has re
turned to the stage. It Is her in
tention to make several pictures in
the East, but this will not interfere
with her stage career.
Week Full ot Bis Shows.
AHoE-ether it was a week of
werks. Besides the Madge Kennedy
onenine. Ethel Barrymore, Henry
Miller and- Ruth Chatterton, Arnold
Daly In i mystery play and a new
Galsworthy drama came 10 iowh,
with "Thin Ice" opening too late in
the week to be reviewed in this col
umn.
Whether Henry Miller produced
'La Tendresse" during his Califor
nia season or not. It comes to New
York as something entirely new. It
is one of Henri Bataille's plays and
deals with the love "affair of a sent!
mental academician. ' Mr. Miller
gives a wonderful performance in
this role and is at his best. Ruth
Chatterton wears a dark wig which
alters her appearance but is attrac
tive, none the less. In his curtain
peech the first night, Mr. Miller
paid great tribute to tne late
Charles Frohman, telling how they
met when he was playing small
parts in a stock company in San
Francisco.
Charles Frohman was manager of
a traveling company and 'after wit
nessing Miller's performance told
hire that some day he was going to
have a theater of his own in New
York, and that Miller would have a
chance to come to him. A few years
later Charles Frohman built the
Empire theater and Henry Miller
became the leading man j of the
clock company that was to be fa
n.ous the country over. "La Ten
dresse" has some excellent scenes
and has been a great success
abroad.
Kthel Barrymore Appears.
Speaking of the Empire theater.
Miller's remarks brought the fact to
mind that Ethel Barrymore. was
opening at another house the same
nipht under the management of
Arthur Hopkins, her first appear
ance under any management than
that of the Frohmans. Her brothers
left the Empire long ago, but Miss
Barrymore remained a Frohman
star until this season. The Barry
niores are all with Arthur Hopkins
now. "Rose Bernd" is one of
ITauptmann's plays, with the hero
ine a woman who deserves little
sympathy because her trouble is all
of her own making. Miss Barry
more makes the unhappy heroine
an interesting picture, but one
misses the tender moments which
most of her former parts have car
ried with them, even when they
have been unsympathetic ones. She
rlays with her usual technique and
makes much of the misjudsrtd hero
ine. Mr. Hopkins engaged Robert
Ji nes to make the-settings, which
are some of the most beautiful that
have been seen this season. The cast
contains some excellent actors
McKay Morris. Dudley Digges.
Doris Rankin. William B. Meek and
Charles Francis all of whom give
fine portrayals of their various
roles.
Arnold Daly Appears After All.
Another "thriller" came to town
with Arnold Daly in the lead after he
had announced his intention of
withdrawing and the Rialto was
being scoured for an eleventh-hour
substitute. "On the Stairs" is a mys
tery play with ghosts, and every
thing! Mr. Daly is a sinist'er Hindu
who leads a double life and- who
provides many thrills in the course
of the evening. The little heroine's
father has met his death mysterious
ly on the stone stairs of his home
and a ghost, supposedly his own, ap
pears each night and no one can
pass him by. The Hindu rents the
house and the heroine fal;s under
his
t:ike a hand and tracks down the
Swami as the murderer. James Crane,
B'uller Mellish, Frances Anderson,
Margaret Dale, Effingham Pinto and
Mrs. Charles Craig havi the leading
rcles in this latest addition to the
mystery tales that are among those
present on Broadwav.
Show Has New Lead ine: Women.
Temperamental differences seem to
be playing a big part in theatrical
history this year. Eleanor Painter
was to have been prim. donna of
the new Shubert show. "The Lady
'n Ermine," but some trouble arose
in Atlantic City where tne show was
first produced aand Miss Painter
withdrew. Her understudy stepped
in at very short notice and then
Wilda Bennett was ei.?S-.d for the
part. "The Lady in Ermine has
been running at Daly's theater, Lon
don, for the past year und;r the
title of "The Lady of the Rose," and
has been one of the big successes of
the season. The book is by Fred-irick
Lonsdale and Cyrus Wood. W:lda
Bennett, Walter Woolsey, Helen
Shrpman, Ingacio Martineto, Gladys
Wlaton, Harry Fender, Marie Burke,
Delmar Poppen. Mile. Rodriguez,
Timothy Daly and a chorus of 100
will sing the various roles.
Leo Carillo to -Appear Soon.
Leo Carillo, atter hts great hit in
'Lombardi, Ltd," almost dropped out
of sight. Announcement was made
that the Selwyns had signed him for
a long term, but' the play which he
tiled out was such a failure that
it was not' brought into New York.
Then Mr. Carillo went into vaude
ville and returned last season to his
old manager. Mr. Morosco tried out
a new play, recently in Los Angeles
aEd will soon bring "Mike Angelo"
to Broadway. The opening will
doubtless be at the Morosco theater.
Another offering of Morosco's will
be Thompson Buchanan's new play
"Sporting Thing To Do."
John Cort, formerly associated
with Morosco, will make his first
presentation about the same time
that Leo Carillo appears. It will be
"Dolly Jordan" and will be seen at
the new Daly's theater, which
was formerly called the Sixty-third-Street
Music hall.
Another item of interest is that
Booth Tarkington is in New York
in consultation with Flo Ziegfeld in
regard to Billie Burke's new play
vhich the Indiana author has writ
ten for the popular star. It is called
"Rose Briar" and rehearsal will start
very shortly. IJrank Conroy has
been engaged for an important role
in the play.
Carroll McComas is to be featured
in a new Max Marcin comedy called
"Mary Get Your Hair Cut." This
title, however, is only a .temporary
one.
Raymond Hitchcock is due to open
at the Century at the close of the
present- engagement of the San
Carlo Grand Opera company. Air.
Hitchcock has a wonderful list of
principals. The latest addition is
Benny Leonard. Besides him will be
Audrey Maple, May Boley, B"illy
Ritchie, Jack Squires, the Astaires,
the Ellsworth and a number of other
well-known players.

The hand was played in duplicate,

spade and held the bid. At all
tables save one declarant went
game. At one table he was held
down to two by cards, or a score of
18, plus simple honors a total of 36.
The fact of his going game at all
was not, however, owing to espe
cially skillful play on his part, but
to the failure of the adversaries to
take advantage of their opportuni
ties. The better to illustrate the
management accorded the hand I
give it as played in the two differ
ent ways.
At the tables where declarant
went game the play was as folows:

second club lead might come from
him through the possible queen in
the hand of declarant.
B took the trick with the ace and
came back with the 9 of clubs. De
clarant played small and A won
with jack. So far, so good; had
nothing better dffered, the play
would have been commended. In
this hand, however, something bet
ter did offer, but the adversaries
failed to see it, and because of this
declarant easily went game.
At this trick, trick 4, A, who saw
the impracticability of allowing the
dummy to ruff force the declarant,
but never the dummy, is a rule
which it behooves players relig
iously to follow led another heart,
notwithstanding that put the dum
my in the lead. Dummy won with
the king and then led a trump, to
which trick declarer successfully
finessed the jack, and then piit the
dummy again in the lead by the
lead of a small diamond.
Dummy then led another trump,
which declarant won with qpeen,
and next led the ace and brought
down his right opponent's orig
inally twice-guarded king.
At these tables the adversaries
seemed to think they had done all
in their power to save game, but
that they could have saved it is
shown by the fact that one table
declarant fell short by two tricks.
At this table the play went as follows:
could be weakened to the point
where at a later stage he would
be unable to lead the diamond, the
chances of 'the dummy bringing in
his suit would be materially re
duced, if not destroyed.
A, therefore, led a small diamond,
dummy won with queen, and led a
trump, declarer successfully finess
ing the jack. Now, however, the
declarant finds himself handicapped.
The king of trumps, he knows, is
with B, and it is of the greatest im
portance that the dummy be again
put in the lead that he may lead
through it. The only way, though,
that he can acomplish this is by
the lead of his one remaining dia
mond, and this play he dare not
make, as it will deprive him of the
power to put the dummy in after
trumps are exhausted, and unless
dummy's diamonds can be made
good there is no possible chance, he
sees, of going game.
There is nothing left, therefore,
hut to lead trumps a second time
from his own ' hand, so he first
leads the ace and then the small
trump. This trick -goes to is witn
the king and he returns his part
ner's first lead, clubs. A wins with
jack and comes back with the ace.
As the dummy has been led out of
trumps, the play- now becomes per
fectly safe.
A then adopts the-' policy of lead
ing through dummy's singly guard
ed king of hearts, B wins with acn,
and. there then being nothing else,
follows with a second heart lead.
Dummy, of course, wins the trick
and makes the ace and king of dia
monds. All the diamonds are good
but declarant at tricks 12 and 13
is forced to trump them. Because of
this declarant loses two trick3.
which in the hand as first given
he won. The entire credit of de
clarant's failure to go game be
longs to A, who after a careful re
view of -the situation adopted tne
particular tactics he did as the best,
if not the only means, of accom
plishing this end.
The stumbling block in tne way
of many players is their failure to
take advantage of tne dummy
hand. It is just as much their
business to profit by inferences ob
tained from the dummy nana, as it
isVor the declarer to do so, but too
many of them, unfortunately, be
come so engrossed with their own
particular holding, or that wnicn
they infer their partner to nave.
as quite to ignore the oftentimes
valuable inferences which the dum
my hand affords. . This is a gffeat
mistake and frequently leads to a
decided victory on the part or the
declarant which could easily have
been avoided. Comparatively few
players, I fear, fully appreciate the
importance of the developments as
revealed by the dummy hand in this
particular dt-al where the dummy's
only re-entry card is a card of his
long suit. In a case of this kind
it becomes of vital importance to
endeavor to deprive the declarant
of what cards he holds of the suit
before the trumps are exhausted in
order that he may- then be unable
to lead the suit.
While the play does not always
accomplish the end in view in
deed, is there any play that does?
it is a play which fily justifies
the effort and should be employed
as opportunity offers.

Winner of trick.
In answer to "Inquirer," who asks
for an Acplanation of the 'arbitrary'
or "obligatory" finesse, I would say
that this finesse is the finesse by
third player on the second round of
a suit of 'the fourth best card of
the, suit, when the second best also
is held and developments to the first
round have shown that the best
card of the suit is to one's left. The
controlling principle of the play is
that if third best, as well as best,
is with this adversary, he holds di
rectly over one, and regardless of
how one may play will win two
tricks in the suit: that is to say,
if the Dlaver who holds the second
and fourth bst, plays the seconi
best, it will fall to the best, an.l
third best held by left-hand oppo
nent will then be in command, while
if fourth best card be played, it will
be won with the third best, an4 the
command will still be against one.
On the other hand, should the
best card only of the suit be with
the left-hand adversarythe play of
one's fourth best rather than second
best will force the best and leave
second best in command. Should it
turn out that this is the distribu
tion and the player holding second
and fourth best heedlessly play the
second best, it will fall to the best
and third best in the hand of the
remaining adversary will . become
the commanding card.

B. who reads the object of de
clarant's play hopes to frustrate it
by refusing to play the ace. If at
the next trick, he reasons, dummy
puts up the queen and it falls to
his ace it will be impossible for
dummy's diamonds to be brought
in. The king, therefore, holds the
trick, and declarant follows with a
second heart. A plays low and de
clarant now knows definitely that
the ace of hearts is with the fourth
player (B), as if it were held by A
he would have played it in order
to prevent dummy's winning with

ENRT'S idea was to keep her
going as long as she cou-ld
manage to limp along.
"Supposing we aren't making but
eight miles an hour." aid Henry,
"the scenery is pretty and you can
admire it at that speed without
feeling that you are taking your
last look at this world below. Eight
miles an hour is good ejiough for
me."
"That's all very well," I said, "but
how do we know she will keep on
making eight miles an hour? This
morning she was making 15, and
just ' after lunch was tearing off
as much as 12. But this slump to
eight shows that she's progressive
ly Blowing down. At this rate she'll
be going backwards before night."
"Let her go backwards," said
Henry. "Then we'll turn her around
and still wend her way onward. You
know what'll happen if we go Into
one of these hick garages with ner,
don't you?"
' The trouble was I didn't know-
then. One lives and learns.
About an hour after this discus
sion, something made a funny noise
in the region of the carburetor, and
the machine slowed down to seven
m'les on the level and about half a
mile on hills, in first gear.
We knew very little about the
country we were in. Our destina
tion was still something like 85
miles away, and the sun was going
down. Besides that, it was getting
cold.
As far as" one could judge from
appearances, there was not an inn
this side of where we were going.
And three times we had been
warned away from the place by
indignant farmers to whom we Hhad
applied for a bit of lunch..
Somehow or other none of these
sturdy yeomen, after glancing at
our car. seemed in the least to be
lieve that we were either honest
men or willing to pay for any food
supplies we took from them.
Klskt SI Ilea Lesat Limit.
There seemed nothing for it but
to etop at the next garage.
This appeared in aue time y tne
side of the road. It was not a pre
tentious garage. Nor did one gather
much consolation from the appear
ance of the cars that were ranged
about it.
They seemed very dead cars, all
of them having suffered death by
disemboweling. "We gathered that
any machine who entered that ga
rage left hope behind.
But we were without knowledge
of mechanics and it was plain that
something ought to be done. Even
Henry admitted that.
The garage man, who looked out
of the door at our summons, wore
long whiskers and had the detached
air of a philosopher.
"What's the matter with the ma
chine?" he Inquired, looking at It
reproachfully.
"It won't run more than eight
miles an hour" said I.
"Well ye better be thankful for
that," he said. Eight miles an hour's
the speed limit around here. Strict
ly enfossed, too,"
"I know, but we'd like to have
you look at it."
He looked at it. He looked in
side and outside, at the wheels and
the top and the hood.
"Can't make nothin' of 10" he
said. "I'll have to bust her open and
look inside. He went back to the
shop for a wrench."
When he came out we were not
there. Henry had stepped on the
gas and our machine was creaking
down the hill.
"I'll never . trust that bird," he
said. "He'll get her apart and there
we'll stay till we send back home
for a new car."
I did not disagree. I felt that he
was right.
At the next garage we found a.
brick-topped lad of about 18 who
knew right away what wa the mat
ter, and told us eo.
He had his head under the hood
a second after we drew up, and the
next second had taken out six bolts.
They Gain Experience, Anytrny.
Having done this he npun the
eelf-starter, but the engine didn't
respond.
He put back the six bolts and
tried again. Still no response.
Then he tried other' things, with
the same result.
At length he said: "Well. I never
knew much about these thinrs any
way. You ee I'm just tending shop
for Deacon Simkins while he's over
to the town meeting. I thought
mavbe what I did would start it. I
seen him start a car that way once."
We drove on.
- At the third stop we found
middle-aged man smoking a pipe in
front of a closed garage. He looked
like a capable man, so we stopped
and .asked for assistance.
"Come around tomorrow, he said,
'and I'll fix you up."
"Why not today?"
"Don't never do no work on the
Sabbath."
"But this is Saturday."
"For you, maybe, but I'm a Sev
enth Day Adventist!"
We slept in the car that night.
The next morning we wired tack
home and our own garage man
came up in hie nivver to help us
out. He looked at the car a minute
and observed that it was just as
well he had come.
'What's the matter?" we In
quired.
"You must have forgotten to take
the emergency brake off when you
started somewhere back on the road.
That was all that was holding her."
Our trip was delayed, of course.
but we found out a lot about way
side garages, so t was really almost
worth the annoyance after all.

Waiter Then what on
ft mf-r. pir. whfh If rt
Is with A, dummy's 10 will force
the ace and leave dummy's queen
in command. On the other hand,
these being the conditions dummy's
play of queen would fall to the ace
and A would then be in commani
The declarant, therefore, plays
dummy's fourth best (the 10). This
play constitutes the "obligatory
finesse. It turned out as the de
clarant hoped. B plays ace (thi3
he must do to prevent dummy's re
maining In the lead) and next leads
a club. Declarant wins with queen
and at the next trick leads his re
maining heart. Dummy gets in the
lead with the queen and makes his
diamonds.
This finesse, the opportunities for
making which are. or should be.
easily recognizable, results usually
in two or more tricks to tne side
making it than it would otherwise
make. It can be used either by
the declarant or the adversary, it
constitutes, in fact, one of the few
times when it is allowable for the
adversary to finesse in his partner's
suit, for, as a rule, a player should
take no chance in a suit led by his
partner, but rather if the card led
be a low card and it be not covered
by second player with a card higher
than any of his, should play nis
hidhest. unless his high cards be
in sequence, when the lowest of the
sequence should be played.
