Motion Picture Club Team Wins Match From Ampas
P-U-T-T-S
^= By CHARLES ALICOATE =
IN posing for the Newsreel in the morning, Lee Ochs did a goof act with a regular )>oob drive. And when he started to play in the tournament, his first drive was just as terrible. Some wisecracker chirped: "Mebbe he wasn't acting this mornin', after all."
Playing in the afternoon round, Al Lichtman. Bill Brandt and Herb Ebenstein were betting each other 10 smackers on every hole. They wouldn't bet with the other member of their foursome, because they told him he wasn't in their class and they didn't want to steal his dough. And the guy trimmed the socks off 'em.
We asked our pal, Don Mersereau, for some News Items which he musta picked up during the day. He didn't have a single story, gag or anythin' to report. Which gives you an idea how valuable an advertising man is at a golf tournament. But wasn't Mister Mersereau there with the Sporty golf togs!
All the way around the course, Ray Johnston kept calling his caddy "Oliver Twist." Incidentally, Ray took the gag seriously, we ran in the paper about him establishing an Emergency Ward on the lawn of his nearby home for the ginks who might need first aid after the banquet in the evening. So the guy had a dozen army cots installed!
Eddie White sent his caddy into the clubhouse to buy more golf balls, having put all his into the first water hole.
On the driving green, H. C. Yates made his usual 10-yard shot. He was naturally amazed when the Committee informed him he was within two feet of the Longest Drive. But the Committee didn't tell him that he was only the SECOND feller up %n the driving contest.
George Hirliman, who won the golf sticks raffled off at last year's tournament, took 5 chances on the current raffle. He figured that he was playing percentage.
Sam Sax was going around trying to bet everybody that he would win a prize. How could he help it. when there were prizes enough for everybody. He caught a couple of suckers.
Playing in the morning round, Harry Warner scored a birdie 2. Mebbe if he had known about that surprise gift from his staff of the handsome Gold Piece Watch, he would have been too excited. Some watch!
Bruce Gallup commented on the remarkably optimistic and happy attitude of all hands. He as the Official Handicapper liad cause to note it. Bruce decided that the film mugs must begin to see a silver lining in the clouds, as their golf is always an indication of their business.
Harvey Day was in a foursome with Bill Massce At one stage in their game Massce was on the green in 3. Harvey was 7 feet from the cup, and knocked Bill's ball right in the cup for a birdie 4.
Harry Thomas was the Braumeister, and had Relief Stations on the course and in the locker room. Yes, Harry, the beer was marvelous. And all you could drink.
Professional Rivalry
When Jack Cohn came up in the afternoon with Joe Goldberg, he greeted Harry Warner thus: "I said to Joe when he came into my office this morning and told me you were here with the Major: 'If the Warner boys can find time to Play Around, whyin'ell can't a Cohn?' So here I am."

argued in Joosh as to whether they would sell pretzels, dunk the pretzels or cheat each other playing golf as usual. Then the newsreel introduced a lot of the film execs as Hollywood stars, posing pretty on the 16th tee in imitation of regular golfers driving off. Throughout all the shots Tom Wiley as the Stooge bobbed in and out with a dead pan, saying nothing and doing nothing. Louis Nizer did a swell job as narrator and Jack Alicoate directed the opus in masterful style without benefit of Yes Men, proving that a really competent director really doesn't need any assistants. If exhibitors must run funny shorts, here's one that we recommend without reservations.
After the newsreel showing, Al Lichtman became master of ceremonies. Rex Beach was called on and made a fine address. Then Spiros Skouras spoke, and Mister Lichtman then called on George Skouras to explain what Spiros had said. The guests couldn't understand Georere either, so all hands decided to forget the incident.
Then came the award of Prizes. Capt. Harry Brandt of the Birdies peacefully accepted a boudoir erift for the team to display in the M. P. Club, with small models of the prize for each member of the team to wear as a watch charm. Lee Ochs then tried to alibi for his Duffers team losing the match with the Thursday Afternoon Tea Boys known as the Birdies. Earl Hammons spoke about the sad condition of Westchester real estate. Then Mister Lichtman called on Bruce Gallup as Handicapper to award the Prizes. He was greeted with wild cheers. That's all the gang of highbinders and bandits had been waiting for, anyway — the Loot. Frank Maloney won the Raffle for the bag of clubs. Joe Fliesler had the boob prize cinched with a score of 192. but was ruled out as a Professional Boob, and given 10 cents for hush money. Then Al Lichtman gave the crate of chickens to Ray Gallagher with a score of 187.
The Riot broke up at midnight. The Film Committee broke in pieces about the same time. This alleged golf editor writing this junk broke the traffic rules getting it to the press. If you have any kicks, write your congressman. T'ell with all of you. It's 2 A. M. and we're callin' it a day. And wotta day!
Screen Discovery
When Harry Warner arrived, driving his Cadillac with his own foursome aboard, Jack Alicoate greeted him.
"Wait a minute, Harry. We want to take you for Fox Movietone."
"What!" cries Harry, indignant. "I should give the opposition a swell build-up!"
However, he posed gracefully.
"And now," sez Mister Alicoate. "you are on the threshold of a new career as a Fox star."
