The Film Daily (1933)

Thursday, June 8, 1933 THE -%*?k DAILY AVALANCHE OF TROPHIES FOR FILM GOLF TOURNEY A veritable avalanche of trophies and prizes is flooding in on the Committee of Arrangements handling the 21st Film Golf Tournament to be played at Rye Country Club on June 20th. Arthur Stebbins has again donated his usual trophy. Major Warner on behalf of Warner Brothers has contributed something extra special in the way of a prize. Western Electric and RCA have put up two trophies that will be well worth any golfer fighting to secure. Dick Brady of Eastman Kodak has done himself proud with a splendiferous trophy. Also H. J. Yates of Consolidated Film. The Greens Committee went through the motions of going over the fairway up at Rye and reported that the view of the greens was very restful after looking at the red for so long. Mister Harry Thomas will be the official Braumeister at the 19th Hole. He has appointed a special committee consisting of Lee Ochs and Jack Alicoate to sample all the various popular brews and decide which will be chosen for distribution at the Tournament. As Harry is footing the sampling bill as well as supplying the beer at the Tournament, his committee of two experts is drinking imported Wurtzberger every day, having already decided on a cheap local brew on which they will get a cut. Just a coupla chisellers. We hope this news will spoil Mister Thomas' day for him. He deserves it for not putting this reporter on his Committee. At the supper in the evening when the prizes will be distributed, an ole time German brass band will drown out the yawps of the guys who fail to win a prize. Nothing has been overlooked by the astute Committee of Arrangements. So line up for the massacre on the 20th at Rye. Send in your eight berries. Here is a bargain program you can buy for an entire day's entertainment that can't be duplicated anywhere.
