Snow White" is not only a Christ
mas story; it is fairy story, with
its witches, its dwarfs, and its giant.
Its opening Is strong in the flavor
of Christmas. Old Sanity climbs out
of the fireplace, and from his bag ar
rays on a great table a wonderful as
sortment of dolls. A little girl slips
down the stairs and peeks at him at
his work. AS she runs back up stirs
and the bearded figure departs the
dolls are transformed into miniature
humans. A moment later we are In
babyland. A giant stork, bearing the
appeal of the queen, goes straight to
the dispenser of heirs and heiresses,
an dafter one is selected from among
the forest of kicking infants legs,
bears It back to its new mother. And
in the bundle is some" baby, too.
Snow White" is a remarkable pic
understandable for the way 1t es-
tablishes illusion, for the way 1t makes
the unreal seem real, for its pictor-
ial quality and for its real drama
which will hold and move the adult
as it will the child. 1t Is picture
for the family, and If in the family
there be small children you don't
have to guess the chief topic of their
conversation for days after seeing
