Record for Library of Congress
A print of the documentary, "Walk in My Shoes," an ABC-TV Bell & Howell Closeup study of the American Negro, has been presented to the Library of Congress audiovisual collection. Here, Alfred Beck
man (1), ABC Washington vice president, presents the film to Dr. Roy B. Baker, director of the Library of Congress reference department. "Walk in My Shoes" was telecast Sept. 19.
dent of NT&T last March, said: "Three years ago an investment was made in NTA that led to a heavy drain on the earnings of NT&T. Consistent with conservative accounting practice, this year's provision scales down the investment on our books to an indeterminable value, stated at one dollar. This is the end of such drains and substantial recoveries are possible."
During the past year, NT&T dropped 1 1 theatres from its roster and added four new ones, bringing the year-end total to 213, Mr. Klein reported. He noted that this compared to a reduction from 251 to 220 the previous year and said the relatively small change this year, in contrast to major reductions earlier, indicates "that this necessary change in the circuit has reached a leveling off phase . . . Revenue from theatre attendance is continuing to hold its own. On that basis and in view of the sounder position of your company, I am fully confident of successful results in 1962."
