RADIO STARS GRAND SLAM I N HEARTS (Opposite page) Mr. Ace, Ely Culbertson, who also knows a little about bridge, and Mrs. Ace. Mr. Ace is deciding that a quick peek into the opponent's hand is worth two finesses any day. (Left) The story of how he wooed — and won — her is a story you'll get an amusing kick out of. By PECCY WELLS THIS is a story of love and adventure and the amazing jig-saw puzzle that circumstances can make out of one's life.
