Another Disney

Walt Disney's colorful "Dumbo of
the Circus" his next full-length fea-
ture production, is almost completed
and, according to word from the
studio, is expected to be ready for
release by R-K-O-Radio Pictures
some time in September.
In this picture. which stars a
baby elephant who becomes the
worlds greatest circus performer be-
cause he can fly, Disney and his
staff of artists were totally at
liberty to let their imaginations run
free without fear of stepping on
their public's toes. For in the case
of the classic Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs' and "Pinocchio,' u
the Disney staff was careful not to
offend those legions of readers who
had maintained definite mental pic
lures of the characters, drawn pos
sibly from book illustrations or writ
ten descriptions. The story of
"Bumbo," on the other hand, was
inspired by a publishers manu-
script, purchased by the studio.
So successful was this free method
of working that the R-K-O-Radio
release sets an all-time Disney
production record. The entire pic
ture was wound up in a year and
half. Actual production work took
only year. This is definite
change from the two and a halt
to three year records of previous
full-length Disney pictures.

now treading the lower depths in
his characters subconscious. That
sort of thing sets an acutely diff
ficult problem for the people essay
ing to interpret Mr.. Barry but the
group directed with the Sympa-
thetic intelligence of Walter Kerr
diminiSheS the atmospheric hazineSS
to an admirable minimum. Miss
Hayden lends an impressive helping
hand throughout the uninterrupted
action of the play.
If any one has forgotten. Hotel
Universe" is concerned with the
maladjustment of a varied group
of young people, an attractive and
beWildered set gathered at one of
those sophisticated house parties
at Antilles. Each represents diff
ferent wtong turning somewhere in
the past, all with the same residue
of torment as the price to be paid.
There is the rich, pampered young
man who found the right thing"
of not marrying in his set to have
been the almost suicidally wrong
thing. And the young actress with
a father fixation, the childlike
young father who is twisted by
conscience that says he should
have been a priest. the young Jewish,
banker whose focus on money turns
out to have been desperately too
narrow.
For the restoration of the mental
health of these and his other un-
happy people, Mr.. Barry's preScrip-
ton is their individual return to
some one they love. Their guide
on the journey turns up in the guise
of an elderly physicist who has be-
come philosopher, character
soundly conceived for preventing
the fantasy from becoming fam
taStic.
Miss Haydons competence in the
role of the girl torn between her
sense of duty and love is the bright
est individual asset of Hotel Uni
verse" 1t is far from the only one,
however. She is excellently sup
ported by Hugh Franklin as the dis
illusioned, embittered young sophis-
ticate; Leo Brady as the tormented,
mystical young husband; Mary
Reardon as the neurotic actress;
James Graham as the financial
genius who questions the blessing
of money, and Anthony Messuri as
the wise old physicist.
Kerr'S direction is one of the out
standing jobs of its kind in the his
tory of C. us ambitious drama un-
dertakings. An unmistakably deep
understanding of Barry's play shines
through its every movement, an un-
usual degree of movement, Incl
dentally, for a psychological drama.

MORE SHIPS COMING

The fleet of mosquito boats, bound for
Key West according to Secretary of Navy
Frank Knox last week, seems to have been
appropriated for their own by Miami news
papers. Sunday papers said the fleet
would be based temporarily at Miami and
every effort would be made to see that they
remain there.
The navy, which does own the mos
quito boats, expects them to come to Key
West, however, and the chances are good
they will turn up here in few weeks
One of the high-ranking officers
stationed here said yesterday: eff they
are staying in Miami, its news to me.
There's no reason for their not coming here
and | think you can put the stories down as
some more Miami publicity"
Actually, no one outside the navy can
forecast with any accuracy where any naval
vessel is going and even congressman don't
have as much luck as they once did in get
ting few ships as souvenirs for their more
populous seaports.
If Key West is the best place for the
MOSQUITO boats to make their base, and the
navy seems to think it is, then the mosquito
boats will be based here. Key West looks
forward to seeing them in it's rapidly grow
ing naval establishment. -.3- -''.~

A BLIND SCULPTOR

Among the arts which blind. person
might take up, it seems that sculpture
would be one of the most difficult, yet there
country who are doing highly creditable
work. - g@e
One of the most promising of these is
Mark Shoesmith a 28-year-old Oregon
born young man, who lost the sight of both
eyes at the age of 10 through the explosion
of dynamite cap with which he was play
ing. He now lives in New York, where he
teaches sculpture at a school for the blind.
Shoesmith has just completed a life
size head of Lauritz Melchior, the operate
tenor, which is said to be an amazing like
ness, and which he will present to the singer
at a forthcoming concert Mr.. Melchior's
sister Agnes is blind and teacher of the
blind in Copenhagen, Denmark, his native
city. s-, z
In modelling the head of Mr.. Melchior,
Shoesmith worked with the aid of a life
mask which he made, but had his model in
person a few times when putting the
finishing touches to his work. At such
times he felt Mechior's features with his
fingers to compare with the head he was
producing. The entire time spent on the
work was about 100 hours.
The fact that Mr.. Shoesmith had his
sight during childhood gives him great
advantage over persons born blind, but the
skill he has developed is nevertheless most
remarkable. One of his pieces is in the
home of the Roosevelts at Hyde Park and
another is in the presidential palace in
Buenos Aires.

SACRIFICE FOR THE OTHER FELLOW

This matter of national defense leads
to some interesting results, i, .-.
The Industrial magnates talk much OF
the obligations of labor not TO strike and the
labor professors, not to be outdone, return
the compliment by remarks about war-prof-
iteering while labor sacrifices.
The attitudes of capital and labor, in
this instance, are equalled by many other
citizens who talk glibly about Americans
making sacrifices for the national welfare
without any idea that they should do like
wise.
Frankly. no man knows where world
events will lead this nation. or what fate IS
in store for the American people. The
chances are. however, that we can avoid
misfortune by practicing some of the
patriotism we profess before it is too late.
