Carl Thompson To Be Featured In New RKO - Pathe Sportoscope Local Man Now Making Archery I Film Here In Sandhills— Release In December There’ll be another RKO Sporto- scopc film with a Sandhills back ground releasea some time in De cember, to follow the Pinehurst golf film premiered here last spring and hiibsequently shown in over 1.000 theatres th^ughout the United States- This time, however, the tiieme won't be golf, it'll be archery; and the central chai’acters won't be Pine- I'urst personages, they'll be Southei-n Pines folks—at least the majority of them wiil—- along with a sprink ling of national champions and ex-na tional champio.is to give the whole thing the glamorou.'i touch. Cari Thomp.son and his tw’o daugh ters, Ruth and Mr.s. W. W. Fuller, II, will be the localites, and Russ Hoo- gerhyed, five' times national archery champion and who formerly worked for Mr. Thompson at the Archers Company out on the Midland Road, and Miss Jean Tenney of Clear Springs, Md., present women’s na tional champion, will be the other principals. For the rest there will be the extras—members of the gal lery, etc—conscripted from the ranks of local residents. The film will consist of a sequence on Instruction and technique in which Mr. Thompson, nationally known as an archery coach, will demonstrate the fine points of the art, with his daughters, Ruth and Helen, n'n.ying the parts of the ty ros. Another sequence will show a series of off-hand and hunting shots by Mr. Thompson and Mr. Hoogerhyde, and the final phase will be a demonstration by Mr. Hooger hyde of the trick shots for which he is famous. Joe Walsh, RKO.Pathe sports Edi tor, has been here for the past w’eek taking preliminary shots for the film and the shooting will be com pleted within a week or so. As in the formei- instance, the first show ing will probably be at one of Char lie Picquet’s Carolina theatres.
