Twentieth Century-Fox is
planning to make an estimated $50
to $90 million donation of newsreel
footage to USC before the middle of
March, a corporation spokesman
said last Friday.
William R. Fisher, a 20th Cen
lury-rox executive who visited
USC last fall in connection with the
donation, said there will be a press
conference announcing the
decision to present the footage to
USC within the next few weeks.
Fisher said he could not comment
further until the corporation
makes a formal announcement.
COMPANY SPOKESMAN
James Kelly said 20th Century-Fox
has "pretty much decided to
present the footage to USC." The
corporation will donate the gift
over a period of years, he said.
The newsreel footage 20th
Century-Fox plans to present to
USC is the world's largest
newsfilm library, "Movie
Tonews." Kelly said, an exact

available because the footage has
been stored in various vaults for
many years.
Three executives visited USC
last fall to discuss donation of the
newsfilm library. Fisher, Kelly
and Raymond T. Bennett spent
several days meeting with administration
members, deans,
faculty and private friends of USC.
Bennett could not be reached for
comment because he is in New
York attending conferences
related to the donation, Kelly said.

World War I, Hollywood's five
major film studios adopted the
newsreel as a way to attract
audiences to feature films. The
largest of the newsreel companies
was "Movie Tonews," begun in
September 1919. The company
developed two 10-minute reels
each week for 44 years until
production was stopped in September
of 1963.
"Movie Tonews" was distributed
internationally with extensive
footage libraries in France,
Germany and England. Most of the
footage will be included in the
donation to USC. Total footage is
estimated at 90 million feet.

areas such as commitment to
house the library, research of the
newsfilm, computerization of the
film's content, production of instructional
programs and appropriate
recognition of the donor.
ALBERT SCROGGINS, dean of
the College of Journalism, said
Twentieth Century-Fox considered
USC "because of USC's reputation

Thomas was the "voice of Movie

of the series is handled by
