HELEN WILLS comes to aid the Amateur Movie Maker in "Better Tennis" Six other Bell & Howell Better Movie Features this Month / 6 f J/* men lelephoto Lens —Dremophot Exposure Meter know ypUr movies in daylight on the Trans-Lux Daylight Screen New! Adjustable Hand Carrying Strap for "BETTER TENNIS" HERE is a remarkable new addition to "Filmo Library." Helen Wills, "Little Poker Face" as she is lovingly called by her many admirers, comes to your home in four 100-foot reels to show you how to play better tennis. In these four reels you see demonstrated the snap, drive, and precision that won for Miss Wills the title of Amateur Woman Champion of the World in this year's tournament at Wimbledon, England. These films are excellently edited and titled. A liberal sprinkling of s-l-o-w motion and stop scenes helps you to study each phase of the various strokes and correct any fault that may be hampering your game. No living player could give you instruction as these movies do, for it is impossible for anyone to make strokes so slowly and still retain perfect tennis form. Each of the four 100-foot, 16mm. reels can be obtained separately. To have a tennis movie that will cover all points of the game, however,it is suggested that you secure the four reels spliced together in one 400-foot reel in proper sequence, enclosed in a humidor can.
