A Sound Picture of Fifty-Second
Street
Written by Travis Ingham
Produced by William N. Robson
This programme, prepared by the New York office of the BBC, presents in impressionistic form a picture of the New York of 1939. It takes as its theme Fifty-Second Street, which cuts across the city from East River to the Hudson, touching on its way every phase of New York life. Included in its sweep are luxurious apartment blocks and slums, smart shops and restaurants, night-clubs and docks, vividly re-created by flashes of the voices, the noises and the music of the most typical yet individual New York street scene.
