Mr. Forrest C. Allen,
Stevens Hotel,
Chicago.

Dear Mr. Allen:-

Mr. Brown has asked me to let you know how to secure
the Olympic Track and Field films.

I am going to leave this note in your mail box at
the hotel, so that if I don't get to see you during this busy week,
you will receive the information. Nevertheless, I do hope to see
you.

There are two sets of Olympic film. The Central A.A.U.
office at 39 So. LaSalle Street has the film of the Olympic Games
held in Germany. The rental charge is $10.00 plus transportation.
Arrangements for rental can be made through Miss Vivian Stingley.

The telephone number is State 4229, in case you want to call her.

On the other hand, Mre Brown may have mentioned to you
the Track and Field film which we have on hand in our own department.
These pictures were taken at the Olympic Trials at Randall Islend just =|
prior to the Olympic Games.

If the Athletic Department wishes to purchase them, they
are available at $25.00 per four hundred foot reel. These film are
in slow motion. They include action shots, posed to show form and
action in different events, and also scenes of the actual competition
in the Olympic Trials.

Should you have time while here in Chicago, I can make
arrangements to have the films we have shovm to you at our Administra-
tion Building, at the north end of Soldier Field. Should you care
to do that, if you don't reach me at the hotel, you can call my sec-
retary at Harrison 5252, extension 426, and she will know how to get
in touch with me and I will complete the arrangements.

I trust that this will be a satisfactory answer to your
letter to Mr. Brown.

Very sincerely,

Vk Were bard
