...fall. "Big City Blucs" demonstrates the answer plainly. It resorts to the old device, a frame plot: to point the theme, which is the glamour of a metropolis, the cinema is "framed" with opening and closing scenes of provincial simplicity.

When Ouimet was 3 up with 8 to play against Torrance it looked as if he were sure to even matters for the 7 & 6 beating that Torrance gave him two years ago but Torrance got a 2 on the 30th and played beautiful golf to halve the match. Two other matches ? Burke v. Westland and Stout v. Sweet ser ? ended all-even after...
