He was appointed Governor of New South Wales in 1930, serving until 1935. Along with the State Premier Jack Lang and others, Game was a participant at the official opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge on March 19, 1932, where he made a speech.
Less than two months later, on May 13, he dismissed Lang's government for refusing to abandon an apparently illegal policy and issuing a leaflet in defiance of Game. This was the only case of an Australian government with the confidence of the lower house being dismissed by a Vice-Regal representative, until Governor-General Sir John Kerr dismissed Gough Whitlam's government on November 11, 1975.
Philip Henslowe was born in Lindfield, Sussex, around 1550, son of the master of the game in Ashdown Forest.
He was living in the Liberty of the Clink in Southwark, London by 1577.
In 1604, Henslowe and Alleyn jointly purchased the patent as Master of the Royal Game of Bears, Bulls and Mastiff Dogs, and the two presented bull- and bear-baiting near the Swan.
