- This short features professional bowler Andy Varipapa. He first shows the correct way to grip a bowling ball and the proper form for delivering the ball down the alley. He then performs several trick shots.
- This "oddity" narrated by Pete Smith begins at a bowling alley with two excellent bowlers, a man and a woman, making strikes and picking up spares as Smith narrates with tongue in cheek. Then, Andy Varipapa, a record-holding professional from Brooklyn, demonstrates the proper grip, the proper use of feet, and the proper swings for a straight-ahead and a curving delivery. In regular and slow motion, Varipapa then does a series of trick shots. Interspersed are the hapless attempts of a small man new to the sport and the comic (and racially stereotyped) enthusiasm of Sunshine, the pin setter.—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
- MGM short narrated by Pete Smith showing master bowler Andy Varipapa's skills on the bowling lanes. He can apparently make the ball go precisely where he pleases and like an expert billiards player, can produce a number of trick shots such as striking a pin in one lane and having fly through the air to knock out a pin in the adjacent lane.—garykmcd
- With Andy Varipapa as teacher, he who has the most recorded perfect games at the time of filming at twenty-seven, the proper techniques of ten-pin bowling are outlined, from aspects of the proper shoes, the grip, the swing and the release, and why the curve ball - also called the hook ball - is generally more effective than the straight ball. With the basics in place, Andy additionally demonstrates various trick shots. Conversely, a first time bowler is also shown, he who falls into many pitfalls, figurative and literal, in not following Andy's guidance.—Huggo
