CLASS 2— Sports 23 COURTESY TITLE REEL NO. CLASS TWO SPORTS Courtesy of BILLY BURKE HOME MOVIES 1000 BOBBY JONES— GOLF How Bobby Jones, the greatest of all golf champions, makes the shots which win victory for him on the links, is clearly illustrated in this sport film. Closeups of Bobby's hands bring out the exact position of his fingers for the overlapping or Vardon grip. The camera catches Bobby making wood, iron, approach and putting shots, first with normal action and then with slow motion. Each stroke is carefully analyzed. Occasional bits of "suspended action" showing the exact position of Bobby's head, arms, legs and body during crucial points of the swing are also included. One of the unique features of this film is what is called "line analysis" of certain strokes, in which a heavy dotted line shows the complete path covered by the head of the club. Every golfer will want to see this picture and others will also find it interesting. 1 Reel Courtesy of THALHAMMER, LTD. 1001 TRAPPING THE MOUNTAIN LION How Bill and Bob, two boys of the Boy Scout age, trail a Cougar or Mountain Lion, capturing it and bringing it back to camp alive, is told graphically in this exciting picture. The boys discover a deer which has been killed by a cougar and then trail the culprit to its stamping ground. A trap or snare is set by bending down two saplings and attaching a noose to them. A remarkable scene shows the cougar walking into the trap and becoming caught by it. Then the boys return and tie up the savage beast by means of noosed ropes on the ends of poles, wheeling it back to camp in a wheelbarrow. Every boy will want to see this picture and the rest of the familv are certain to get a big thrill out of it also. 1 Reel Courtesy of SWANNIE'S MUSIC & ART STUDIO 1002 BIG GAME HUNTING IN AFRICA Here is an excellent wild animal picture. In concentrated form it shows impressive, intimate views of a variety of African animals. Grouped around a water hole are many gazelles, antelopes, impali, zebras and gnus. A rare picture of several wild dogs is shown together with the comment that even the lion is afraid of these fighters when they travel in packs. Two grotesque animals are captured alive, one a zebra, and the other a giraffe. There are some hair-raising closeups of lions, elephants and rhinoceroses. In addition to the thrills of danger, this film contains some excellent comedy with animal comedians, including a yawning hippo and a monkey that plays with a cute little pig.
