Doctors Gerd Meyer-Schwickerath of West Germany and Charles Stephens of Boston share the $25,000 Research to Prevent Blindness Trustees Award. Both men pioneered in the treatment of damaged and diseased retinas. MCA Board Chairman Jules Stein, former eye specialist, presides at the award ceremony. Black-Tie dinner. The doctors are shown talking as a server dispenses them a coffee cup and saucer. A man gives them a plaque and a check while on a stage.
