Very rare footage of Willie Hoppe and Welker Cochran playing billiards. Both players perform trick shots, regular shots, and ham it up for the camera. Both players are amazing characters and carry themselves with an elegance that is forever attached to the mid 20th century. Hoppe's playing cue in this film was a Herman Rambow cue and Cochran's was a Harvey Martin cue.

Frank Taberski, World Champion at pocket billiards, demonstrates his ability to play pocket billiards the "Chinese" way. Fun stuff...and it's amazing how he doesn't miss. It says a lot for the ghost-ball aiming technique!
