A Movie Ball
The new Lakewood Country Club,
the finest public dance pavilion in
the State Of Maine, and many claim
in all vacation LAND, Is to present
a great novelty in a Movie Ball, or
really a series of three cinema affairs.
The first will be on the night of
Friday, July 80, when carpenters,
electricians and workmen will set up
riggings and effects to reproduce a
studio. The movie folk, camera men,
electricians, director and all will
stage a big ballroom scene in which
all who are present will be filmed.
Needless to say there will be ire
mendous turnout, for everyone is
curious to see how they would look
in a movie. The arrangements are
still In the embryonic stage, but
there will be judges announced short
ly. who will select a number of young
men and women, whom in their opin-
ion, would register well on the silver
screen. Then closeups will be taken,
all during the evening, without inter-
ferring with general dancing to the
music of Lee Warren and his Cole
gians from Colby. who have become
so popular with Lakewood dance de-
voices.
Then one week later, on Friday
night, August 6. the motion pictures
taken at the Movie Ball will be shown
during an intermission in the dance,
together with other motion pictures
taken of people on the streets OF
Skowhegan, Madison and Lakewood
The Lakewood management. as
well, has arranged for the filming OF
all the features of that popular re-
sort this Aim to be shown in all the
movie theatres of the state and prob
ablySin many outside.
The Lakewood Golf Club is now
a very live organization, for the
splendid new nine hole course has
been opened. Playing began Sunday
July Is, many enjoying what is
proclaimed as fine a course as they
have ever seen. Anyone wishing to
join as a regular member should pay
initiation fee and dues to William
Philbrick, treasurer, Skowhegan, al
though the public Is welcome to play
by paying a fee each time. Tourists
are welcome, and nowadays there
are few cars going along the Quebec
highway that do not carry clubs.
Harold Woodbury. is in charge OF
the course, both as instructor and
manager. The Lakewood manage
ment has presented the club with the
attractive ticket office building, for
merly used, which has bee nmoved tc
location on the green, at the first
7 tee, and will serve as caddy house
and registration booth Although the
course is now open, the formal open-
ing will take place on Sunday early
in August, date o-be announced
when four crack professionals will
play an exhibition match. Plans for
the affair are in charge of DR.. Hor-
are Stevens and Col Roy L. Marston
1t was thought wise not to have the
formal opening and this display game
until the new greens were strong
enough to bear up under the many
feet that will make up the gallery OF
spectators sure to follow the ex-
perts.
The Lakewood Golf club is indeed
fortunate to already have, nearing
completion, the beautiful new Lake
wood Country Club building, recent
ly erected by the Somerset Traction
Co.. which, used for regular public
dances each Tuesday and Friday
evening. will be available at other
times for golfers, with locker rooms
and showers and all the equipment
to be found in the INST luxurious and
exclusive clubs in the country. Sit
uated as it is, it seems to be an in
tegral part of the course and when
the red tile terrace is laid and wicker
arm chairs and settees are installed,
1t will be possible to lounge there af-
ter playing, or friends and family
may visit there, watch the playing,
entertain, read, and sip cool drinks
1t is great asset to this community.
