The Film Daily (1931)

THE Monday, June 8, 1931 Film Golf Guessing Tournament A Great Set-Up! Empey Club Team Looks Dangerous, Mysterious and Box-Office r figuring all the liabilities and ri-ks, and consulting his insurance Stebbins, captain of the Motion Picture Club team, has finally picked his lineup for the Film < iolf Touranment. They are Jack ■ tfreund, Henry Clay Siegel, ltd Curtis and J. D. Williams. Ik-re is a dazzling agnation that oughta make the challenging A. M. P. A. team step a few.

And if he crashes these, you can look for higher prices for the entire list before the contestants reach the ninth hole. And when his opponent stages a rally Earl W.

Alicoate Larry Golub Irving Goodfield Jess Gourlay Jack Guttfreund Jack Harrower Jack just treats it as a technical re I Don Hancock ry. and comes through with a idy game, averaging a gain of 3.4 points on the entire list. Which, as you will admit, in these tough Wall Street times, is SOME average. This guy Ted Curtis plays an entirely different game. He's at his best when all the bases are empty. Then he knocks a screw ball into the center field bleachers for a circuit clout. He plays a game of long-distance rifling. His trouble is, though, that he bangs into too many double plays. But he generally manages to register at the pan, sliding into the plate with the umpire yelling "Safe" while the bleachers go nuts. Henry Clay Siegel, as his name implies, plays what you might call an Oratorical Came. He's always at his best with a receptive audience. But in the picture business, this is a marvellous asset. His ballyhoo. has the opposish climbing trees and crawling in bunkers. Then, with the fairway clear, Henry just talks the ball right into the cup. It's a Gift. This baby J. I). Williams is the Mystery Golfer. He claims to have i playing the game for years. Lots of us have seen him playing AT the game for years — but that doesn't prove anything. He also has something to do with the British end of the film biz.

Three-Tint Process Seen as Color Choice (.Continued from Page 1) more producers than any other company, is developing a three-color process which, although now in the laboratory stage, is expected to be perfected and ready for marketing in one year. Paramount is also working on a three-color process, it is understood, and other major companies have their technical experts experimenting along similar lines. The bases of red, blue and yellow afforded by the three-color process permits production of more natural colors than is generally obtained through two-color systems.

Vet the Paramount activity here is not looked upon in the light of competition. The company employs numerous native artists and workmen, and helps along the trade m general. In any event, American competition is no longer feared Prance. Picture fans here wa French talkers made in France. Foreign productions, however meritorious, invariably lack something that is needed to win the whole-hearted approval of French audiences. Dubbed and "doubled" pictures are absolutely not wanted. Modernizing of French cinemas is progressing rapidly, especially in and around Paris and in the large cities )f the south of France. Another highly favorable development is the fact that national production now is a paying proposition for the French producer. In fact, it pays him quite well, which was not so in the old silent days. ican long, long time. But you never can tell. It might just so happen that this Mystery Golfer will go up to the Fenimore Country Club at White Plains on Wednesday, and knock the opposing players for a series of Loops. For nothing bothers film men more than Mystery. And J. D. can be more mysterious about Practically Nothing than any seven film execs in racket, We think he is about due to come through with a Big Wallop. And so far as we are concerned, we're betting our dough on this entry. A M\-tery Man can outguess a bunch of pressageys any day — and that's all they have on the A.M.P.A. team. And as a matter of cold truth, this battle for the Albee Memorial Cup will resolve itself into just a Guessing Came. After each hole they get together and say: "I guess I had only four strokes on that hole." And the opponent sez: "Oh, I can guess lower than that. I only had three." And they call it Golf. Watch for the announcement of the A.M.P.A. team tomorrer, folks. You will also receive a letter — if you're entered for the massacre — telling what time you are to tee off — and the name of the guy you're gonna try to Outguess. Complete instructions on how to reach the Fenimore Golf Course — either by auto or train — will also be published here tomorrow.
