Joe Davis (1950)

Leicester Square, London. Various shots show snooker expert Joe Davis demonstrating a new trick shot at Leicester Square Hall. He pushes the white ball towards a pocket then gets 7 others in before the white gets there. More tricks follow, involving the white leaping over a line of balls and, in the final shot, into a bottle-shaped basket. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
