Curator’s clip description

A car pulls into frame with three reporters seated in the back. The reporters, returned from witnessing a fire, dictate the story to typists in the typing room. The typists busily type up the story at their desks. This clip ends with a paperboy carrying a sandwich board for The Argus in one hand, and a newspaper in the other, standing on a street corner ready to sell to his customers.

This sequence uses blue and amber tints. It contains partial nitrate damage.
