Bowling, That Is
A Smith called Pete shows us Andy Varipapa, "the World's Greatest Bowling Fixture" and the toast of Brooklyn, in the first of three short subjects. Oh boy! True, Mr. Varipapa uses two balls to clear the 7-10 combination, but the balls cut didoes while he does so.
While bowling is not considered a major sport these days, it still has its supporters, and when I was growing up, everyone played it at least a few times. This short shows its audience the game as it existed before automatic pin setters came into being; besides, Pete Smith's forced joviality is always good for a laugh.
