the perfect way to escape
the heat and the daily grind
for a few hours. At the Lyric in

weekend, and the price is right.
It’s free. The wonderful, wit-
ty adaptation of the Broadway
musical “My Fair Lady,” itself
a take-off on George Bernard
Shaw’s most famous play “Pig-

fessor Higgins (Rex Harrison)
who bets his friend, Col. Picker-

fined, unkempt Cockney flower
seller Eliza Doolittle (Audrey
Hepburn) into a convincing
lady and fool all their sophis-

won eight Academy Awards,
including Best Picture, Best Ac-
tor and Best Director. The sec-
ond feature is the wonderful
2017 musical film, “The Great-

and how he came to create the

Visions

My Dreams Become
Reality.

For more than 44 years, I have been dreaming up unique and

beautiful custom-designed jewelry. One-of-a-kind masterpieces that
would never be confused for the mass-produced jewelry that most
jewelers are selling these days. Fred and I would like to personally
invite you to stop in for a visit. Enjoy an authentic
high tea at our attached quaint bistro. Then browse
to your heart’s content, exploring and experiencing one of the
largest displays in the country. Over 4,000 custom-designed
magnificent pieces of jewelry like you’ve never seen before.
We have thousands of happy and satisfied clients who would tell
you what we used to tell them …

if you don’t know your jewelry, then know your
jeweler.

In last week’s deal, South had to visualize an end-position in which he could make an J4 K653 Q 10 9 8
apparently unavoidable loser evaporate when he forced an opponent to concede a ruff-and-
sluff. That deal did not require any luck. This week, though, not only must declarer visualize SOUTH

South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond 10. East takes two tricks in the suit, then

loser?

Declarer needs the defender with three trumps to have at most two clubs. There might be
a little guesswork involved, but not here. South takes the third trick, draws two rounds of
trumps, then cashes the diamond queen (discarding a club from the board) and the black-
suit winners. Finally, he casts adrift with a trump.

West wins and must return a spade or a diamond. Declarer ruffs in one hand and sluffs the
remaining club from the other..
