Image WSGyounger.jpg thumb right center W.S. Gilbert in about 1870 center No Cards is a musical piece in one act for four characters, written by W. S. Gilbert , with music composed and arranged by Thomas German Reed . It was first produced at the Royal Gallery of Illustration , Lower Regent Street, London, under the management of German Reed, opening on 29 March 1869 and closing on 21 November 1869. The work is a domestic farce of mistaken identities and inept disguises, as two men desperately compete to marry a wealthy young lady. One is young and poor, and the other is a rich miser. Each disguises himself as her guardian. No Cards was the first of Gilbert s six pieces for the Gallery of Illustration. It was also Gilbert s first libretto with prose dialogue and the first stage work for which he wrote lyrics to be set to music, rather than lyrics to pre existing music. No Cards was played on a double bill with Arthur Sullivan and F. C. Burnand s Cox and Box , although Gilbert and Sullivan did not meet until later that year. After a successful 139 performances, the bill toured the British provinces. ref name Kidd Kidd, Patrick. http entertainment.timesonline.co.uk tol arts and entertainment music article6916651.ece Revival of Gilbert s No Cards dates from a time before Sullivan , The Times ...

Cards speak for themselves is used in two poker contexts First, it is used to describe a high low split game without a Declaration poker declaration . That is, in a cards speak game, players all reveal their hands at the showdown, and whoever has the highest hand wins the high half of the pot and whoever has the lowest hand wins the low half. ref http dictionary.pokerzone.com Cards Speak Poker Dictionary Cards Speak ref The other context is as a Public cardroom rules poker house rule in casino cardroom s. Cards speak means that any verbal declaration as to the content of a player s hand is not binding. If Mary says she has no pair, but in fact she has a flush, her cards speak and her hand is viewed for its genuine value, that of a flush. Likewise if John says he has a flush, but in fact he does not, his hand is judged on its actual merits, not his verbal declaration. ref http www.playwinningpoker.com poker rules cards speak Cards Speak Rule ref At the discretion of management, any player miscalling his hand may have that hand fouled, but this is not required.

Orphan date February 2009 Image Altarcard.jpg thumbnail right 300px A center altar card, containing the words of Consecration and other prayers Altar cards are three cards placed on the altar during the Tridentine Mass .
