Tom Walls and Mary Brough have a go at playing golf. Mary Brough is a rather stout elderly lady. Tom Walls was a popular comedian of the day.
Tom gives Mary tips on her stroke. Mary hits the ball and then Tom and Ralph Lynn go off in search of it. Ralph finds the ball and covers it with grass but Tom finds it and accuses his friend of cheating. Mary comes clambering over a bump in the golf course. She stands on top of the bump with her golf bag over her shoulder. We then see Tom Walls standing in front of a grand house with huntsmen and hounds. Various shots of the huntsmen and of the beagles. Top shot of a country road with trees either side. Men in hunting colours ride down the road with the beagles alongside them. The hunt and dogs come towards the camera - horses jumping over a hedge. Closer view of the horses taking the jump. Various shots.
Intertitle tells us that Stanley Wootton, Percy Alden, Cecil Langlands, W. Payne and his son (all well-known horsemen) and many other famous trainers and riders are amongst the hunt. C/U of a huntswoman speaking to a man in hunting garb. M/S two huntsmen tending to the dogs. Tom Walls (presumably) in hunting jacket, shakes hands with another man.
Was item in Eve's Film Review issue 411.
Note: Tom Walls and Ralph Lynn appeared together in many comedy stage plays in the 20s it seems. For example, another Eve's Film Review item feature the pair as they appear in "Thark". Perhaps they were a bit of a double act.

Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
