HOLLYWOOD, June 17.-With
q million sunk in his cartoon
feature, "Snowwhite and the
Seven Dwarfs," walt Disney can
sit back and laugh. The creator
Of Mickey Mouse has been offered
this amount for the English rights
to his feature alone. william
Morris, IT,, of the famous agency,
was ready to put the money on
the line. Disney turned him down,
figuring to do better.
Probably will. too, for England
is crazy for the Disney product.
Amounts to IS per cent of the
world market.
On this basis q little easy figur-
ing discloSes that, If Disney turned
down a million for English rights,
he expects the film to make over
$4,000, 900.

Good Comedy
On Screen
AtKeith's

Meet the Missus," costarring
Victor Moore and Helen Brod-
erick, opened yesterday at RKO
Keith's Theater. This is a
charming farce with an inconse-
quential story which doesn't
matter, Of course, If the comedy
is good. This one is.
Victor Moore as q hen-pecked
husband in a continual state Of
subservient rebellion Gas para
doxical as it may seeml. has q
role that is peculiarly fitted TO
the Moore talents.
Helen Broderick, as the domi-
nant wife who let's her husband
not only earn the living, but do
the cooking and sewing as well,
does a capable and entertaining
piece Of work.
Anne Shirley for Romance
Anne Shirley, as the young
daughter, manages to be pretty
enough and inject a modicum OF
romantic interest in a crazy, but
FULFILLED, story.
Helen Broderick, as the wife,
wins q contest which gets her a
trip to Atlantic City. The hus-
band, Victor Moore, Is unwil-
ingly dragged along. In Atlantic
City the finals of this contest,
to select the best American house
wife, are being held.
OF course things begin to hap
pen at the hotel where the con-
test centers, winding up in q re-
volt Of the husbands at big BAN
quet. Things get pretty mixed
UP for a while but in the end the
wife wins the $4,000, the daugh'
ter is off to Niagara with her new
husband, and our henpecked Vic
tor Moore, at long last, heads
back to the happy obscurity Of his
home.
Good Short Subjects
Various short subjects include
a very moving musical number
featuring the Hall johnson Choir
in the story of Samson. This is
reminiscent, in a small way, Of
1.-THE Green Pastures" and is a
short subject well done and worth
seeing.
A colored cartoon subject on
Uncle Tom," a Pathe reel on
Harvard University, travelogue
on the Virgin Islands and the
news reel round out a complete
and satisfactory program.

TINE Department Of Agriculture
Orchestra, DR.. Bauer conduc-
tor, presented an ambitious
u program last night at the De-
partment of Agriculture Auditorium.
Among other numbers the program
contained two refreshing novelties by
Laurence Powell and the eminent
French composer, Honegger.
1t was interesting to note the prog
ress made by the orchestra group
within the last year. The woodwind
section deserves special mention for
its good work in the :"Keltic Legend. !"
by Powell, and the "Pastorale d'Ete, "
by Honegger. The flute had quite q
prominent part in the latter and the
passages were rendered with distinc-
ton.
The "Keltic Legend" composed by
q member OF the Department of Agrt-
culture, shows unquestionable talent.
The plaintive song by the oboe sug.
gests the morning hours Of the OUT
of-doors life There are moments Of
poetic exuberance and individuality
such as mark the opening measures
by the brass, supported by the mufned
drums and the basses, while the sub
dued violins, in high register, form
an effective background. On the whole
the composition will gain by revision
for the sake of a greater uniformity
of idea, for it Is thoroughly worth
while.
Leslie Atkins, cellist, was the soloist
of the evening and was heard in "Kol
Nidrei," by Max Bruch, with orches-
tral accompaniment. Mr.. Atkins, f1rst
cellist of the orchestra, and former
student of the Royal College of Music
in London, is q well-schooled musician.
Evening star., 1937-03-04

His playing Of the solo, marked by
a cantabile style, was well received.
This number, as well as those by the
orchestra, was warmly applauded by
the audience. which filled every seat in
the auditorium.
The concert opened with the "Ruy
Bias" overture, by Mendelssohn, in
which the orchestra rose to a consid-
cradle climax In volume In the finale.
DR.. Bauer has achieved o great deal
with this group Of music lovers, who
find . wholesome outlet for their tai

FATHER HUBBARD TELLS
TRUE STORY OF ALASKA
Much More to Country Than Ice,
He Declares, in Lecture at
Constitution Hall.

Constitution Hall.
FATHER HUBBARD certainly likes
= his Alaska. And the Alaska he
pictured SO enthusiastically last night
at Constitution Hall is . country any
one would like, 1t appears. He set
out at the outset to refute the Eskimo
ice-and-igloo reputation he says Alas
ka has in the minds Of the uniformed.
There is much more to Alaska than
lust ice, Father Hubbard points out.
Alaska has industry and riches and
natural resources and life and trees
and beauty. There are cities as mod.
ern as any. There are farms with
pastures and cattle. There are places
where the climate goes up to 80 and
30 in the Summer and never falls
far below zero in the Winter. WASH
ington in Winter. the famed glacier
priest" says, is often colder than GER
tain cities of Alaska. (He did not
have this Winter in mind. probably.
when he prepared the remark, but
you get the idea.)
Father Hubbard's program last
night had plenty that was interesting
in it. First of all he started out with
sound pictures of various spots in
Alaska he has visited, films show
ing the grandeur and the beauty of
the scenery. He followed this with
"Alaska's Silver Millions" wherein
are shown views Of the Northwest
corner Of the continent which changes
most of the vague illusions about cold
and ice and primitive manners OF
life, which really do not exist at all
prevalently.
Even more apt to arouse interest
were Father Hubbard's motion pic
lures made at the Governments COL
onization project in Alaska. Judging
from the films. some Of the reports
which have drifted back are nothing
more than rumors, and, as Father
Hubbard says, "the land is good
enough for the people If the people
are good enough for the land"

It was WhensrI began to do
Hayes work, however, that found
what I had undertaken. The la
borers on the farm lacked any sort
Of initiative. They were accus-
toned to constant supervision, and
could not work without it. They
must follow leader or remain in
active. This made it necessary for
me to be with them almost con-
