Grimm created the whole astonish-
ing group, but 1t remained for Disney
to bring them imperishably to life.
There is never a moment in the whole
thrilling sequence from the scullery

one has any feeling that single
creature on the screen is just an ami

extends from Snow White down to the
mite Of a baby bluebird, whose al

out of the corner Of his eye to witness
the admiration Of his parents. Holly

birds acting is what the word "colos-
sal" has meant all this time.
Imagination that Is startling went
into the creation of the comedy with
which Snow White" abounds. 1t is
evident in the dwarfs' bath sequence,
in the cleaning of the dwarfs' home by
the wood creatures and Snow White,
in the march of the dwarfs to and
from their daily toll, in their eating
of the delicious gooseberry pie (Which
Snow White would not give them un-
til they had washed), and in the scores
of other fantastic interludes.
1T IS difficult to see how anything
so incredibly good -humored could
be regarded as unsuitable for children
of any age. Disney. to be sure. does
not stirie his imagination when it
comes to creating the character of the
vicious queen, and lets it run virtually
wild when the queen transforms her.

La Fitte's life, told in the

at Loew's Palace yesterday There is
every reason to anticipate that it will
continue its popularity; for even
though it is not likely a ten best"

than average merit.

build up the story Of La Fitte. He Is
made hero Of co-equal stature with
Andrew Jackson in the battle OF New
Orleans, a man who has hard time
proving his patriotism, but does with
vengeance when he gets his chance.
AS is his spectacular way, Mr.. De
Mile has spared no expense to give
his vigorous story one of the most
lavish settings Of this, or any other,
year. His picture is always majestic,
often beautiful, and could be improved

It is amazing what Disney has found
In the story of the beautiful princess,
the dwarfs, and the birds and beasts
of that fairyland forest. There is up
roarious comedy, heartbreaking poign-
ance, suspense, excitement and a
dozen other elements fused into a
masterpiece that involves more imagi-
nation than has gone into the making
of all other films to date. Moreover,
the picture is the most decorative ever
to come out of Hollywood, making use
of technicolor to create effects that
are breath-taking in their appeal.

 WORKER DENIED
Medical Testimony COn= tradiCtS Evidence in
 Petition

Claims for compensation by An tonic Pizzuto of 256 Congress ave- nue against the City of Waterbury were dismissed by Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch in a finding handed down today.
 The men sought recovery for a lung condition which he claimed resulted from conditions he was forced to bear while working on the underground tunnel for Great Brook, from the Palace theater to Brook street.
 He claimed he sustained pulmon- ary tuberculosis because while work ing on the tunnel, from January to August, 1885, he was exposed to rain and water, and various underground gases. The petition was dismissed upon the findings of three doctors that the man had previously suf- fered from tuberculosis. It was also found that the working conditions were favorable, and not liable to cause the disease.

Hewes Joins Ranks
 Of State Candidates
Brother of Governors Executive Secretary Doomed for Lieutenant Governor; Dr Doan's Chances Slim

Complicating the ranks of those mentioned for the possible Demo- cratic nomination in the race for the lieutenant-governorship this fall today was added the bid of Col. Thomas Hewes, Pennington, former assistant secretary of the U. s treasury, close advisor of Gov. Will bur L. Cross, and brother of the governors executive secretary, Phi lip Hewes.
 Although not formally an an- nounced candidate, the Pennington lawyer, long active in politics and defeated for lieutenant-governor in 1882, is believed about to enter the race. Thus, he takes place with such avowed candidates as State Labor Commissioner Joseph M. Tone, an- other of those deemed "very close" to Governor Cross; with Francis T. Hogan, deputy motor vehicle com- missioner, of Torrington; and with Thomas Dodd, IVA administrator, of New Haven.
 But coincidental report concern ing plans of Dr. Edward G. Dolan of Manchester, said to have been encouraged by the administration, to seek the Democratic nomination for the Senate, now held by Sen- ator Augustine Lonergan, finds little credence in Waterbury. On. the federal payroll as registrar of the U. s. Treasury, Dr. Dolan had no success when President Roosevelt

 While Dr. Dolan is regarded as an ardent New Dealer and Senator Lonergan's record shows that he has run independent of administrative here are agreed that Dr. Dolan's re- cent speech in behalf of the New Deal before the Democratic Women at Bridgeport, will initiate against his chances. There have been criti- cisms of this speech which have penetrated to Connecticut Congress- men at Washington, it is learned, and in which various of the more prominent Democratic leaders have disavowed the Dolan broadcast and expressed regret that it occurred.
 On the other hand, Colonel Hewes is at odds with much of the New Deal policy and is against central ized government, taking the stand of southern" Democrat with the theme, states rights" as his princi-. pal consideration. He was chairman of the state reorganization commits sion which presented many meas ures now law to the general assem- ply last term and will present other recommendations at the next meet ing in January. He also is a mem- Der of the Democratic state central committee and served for one month as state treasurer on the death of John s. Addis, of New Milford.
 Particular attention is being paid to the nomination for lieutenant governor this fall by state Democrats because there is general belief that whoever gets the post will be in line for the governorship if Governor Cross decides not to run again in 1940.
