LAWN TENNIS
OFFER FROM HOLLYWOOD HELEN WILLS TEMPTED SERIES OF PICTURES The Universal Studios at Hollywood were recently negotiating with Airs Helen Wills-Moody, the former world’s champion woman tennis player, for a series of pictures depicting her methods of play. The sum of 150,000 dollars (£30,000) has been named as the fee to be paid.
Helen admitted that she was inter- j viewed by the studio officials, but she is believed to be seeking a higher offer. Her acceptance of the offer would necessitate her withdrawal from amateurism, in addition to the cancellation of her prospective renewal of the Wimbledon title contest.
