Arrangements have been com
pleted by the United States Lawn
Tennis Association for the distri-
button of slow moving pictures of
William NJ. Johnston and Gerald
Patterson to the various clubs and
colleges of the country as part of
the tennis educational campaign for
the season Of 1923. These pictures,
when exhibited at the annual meet
ing of the Association in New York
on February }, brought forth favor
able comment from more than one
hundred members and officials of
the organization, all of whom were
expert players and students of ten
mis-.
The pictures, consisting Of three
reels and requiring about forty
minutes to run off, show both
Johnston and Patterson at their
best. Every conceivable kind of
tennis stroke is illustrated including
service, volley, half-volley, back
hand returns and overhead kills"
In order to emphasize the educa-
tional value of the films, the reels
show the players in a series of diff
ferrent strokes, first at the usual
reel speed and followed by repeti-
lions at slow speed.
