Snow White" Held
A Fourth Week.

"SNoW WHITE AND THE SEVEN
~ DWARFS," first full-length Walt
Disney feature. or should one say
miracle" went into it's fourth week
at Keith's yesterday Seeing it is
such an intelligent and worthwhile
gesture that Keith's neighbor, the
United States Treasury, should allow
citizens to deduct the price of ad-
mission from their income taxes But
even without such an allowance on
the part of the Federal Government,
every one should regard the picture
as must if, of course, they have not
already done so.
Mr.. Disney translates the enduring
and beautiful fairy story into his pen
point characters with far more con-
viction than flesh and blood actors
ever are likely to achieve. Moreover,
born of ink and subject to it's peculiar
laws, they can assume positions and
achieve dreams which are far beyond
the attainment of human performers.
More than the princess who gets
top billing in the Grimm title for
the story, the seven dWarfs are its
truly magnificent accomplishment.
Invested with personalities. they move
through the story with an appeal
vastly greater than that with which
Grimm invested them. Next to the
dwarfs, the films most attractive fea-
ture is the animation of the wood
creatures who become considerably
more than human in the Imagination
of Disney and his assistants.
Succinctly. after four weeks, Snow
White still rates as Hollywood's S
greatest entertainment accomplish
