BAN MAY BE LIFTED

Tennis Players and Film Work (Received January 15, 7.40 p.iu.) London, January 14. Tlie Lawn Tennis Association has endorsed a Czechoslovakian proposal to delete a section in international rule 23, prohibiting amateurs from profiting by film action pictures. S. N. Doust, writing in the “Daily Mail.” says Hint if tlie Tennis Association’s decision is accepted internationally at; the March 'meeting, Perry can accept Hollywood's offer and play in the Davis Cup contest and at Wimbledon. Paris reports that great interest has been aroused by the British Tennis Association’s support of the Czechoslovakian proposal. Lacosto says that he does not see why players should be allowed by write books yet be prohibited from appearing in educational films. Tlie governing bodies have gone so far already that there seems no reason for the further banning of films. The “Daily 'Telegraph” says that the association lias come to a wise decision, and there is a good prospect of the ban being removed. A slow motion film of Austin and Perry in action ought not to hurt tiie most sensitive amateur susceptibility, and a fair contract would justify the time and attention they give the game.
