BY MOVIE DEAL

CANNES, Feb. 9.-Helen wills
is worried today lest her amateur
standing will be affected by deal
made by Movie men to film the
anticipated Wills-Lengien match.
William BIumenthal. Of New
York, is reported to have paid
$40, 1000 for the exclusive motion
picture rights to this match. As
the result of this deal six American
motion picture operators have been
excluded from the courts Of the
Carlton Club. They have made 4
bitter protest to the management
OF the Carlton Hotel, which dis
claims responsibility, declaring that
the tennis courts are rented out II
the Burke family, professional ten
mis- players.
When Miss Wills was Informed
of the situation she was most
angry.
II don't want any incident of
this sort which may reflect upon
my amateur standing" she said.
ut would be Injurious to me 10
play in a tournament where money
is demanded for the movie rights,
Wherever / have played in
America all motion picture men
have been allowed to take all the
pictures they wanted. even at the
biggest matches at Forest Hills.
Il can't believe that the Interna-
tional Amateur Tennis Federation
would allow such a thing
Mile. Lenglen is less perturbed,
merely stating: Il never woGTy

Whether the contract for the ex'
elusive rights to the pictures will
be cancelled, remains to be seen.
but ii is entirely possible that If
Miss Wills is advised that her am
ateur standing is jeopardized that
she may refuse to play under such
conditions.
After her brilliant showing yes

to beat Mile. Lenglen had shortened
