wistful baby elephant, heart-tear-
ing infant pachyderm whose enor-
mously oversize ears make him an
alien, loved only by his mother,
among the proud and noble species
to which he belongs. Out of the
sense Of life that begot Dopey the
Dwarf comes "Dumbo" and he un-
doubtedly is the strongest candidate
yet offered by Disney to replace
Dopey in human affection. He is
lovable, he is comic and he is a
poignant figure. 1t is just about
matchless combination of qualities.
While he is the central figure of
the brilliantly imagined menagerie,
Dumbo is by no means its only
memorable character. There's Tim
othy Mouse, cousin to Mickey, who
devotes a courageous heart, re-
sourceful mind and Brooklyn ac-
cent to lifting Dumbo from the
abyss of despair into which his big
ears constantly trip him.
And Dumbo's mother, the eternal
mother who loves her baby all the
more for the sad heritage of those
ears! And the dowager elephants,
the naughty gossips who will the
deformed baby to oblivion as dis
grace to their proud lineage. There
are also, fitting brightly across the
animated canvas, the Stork who
delivers babies in messenger boys
uniform, the five black crows whose
slowly evoked compassion finally in
spires Dumbo to use his huge ears
for flying and thus to become the
most spectacular elephant in ele-
phant history.

gay and singing life of its own, Is
etched with a clarity that is beyond
the scope Of human actors.
Dumbo's story may daily a bit
needlessly here and there, although
hardly ever noticeably. 1t Is full
of completely beguiling passages,
the flight of the storks to deliver
babies to the circus animals just
before it leaves winter quarters, the
delight of Mrs. Jumbo when she
discovers she has not been left out,
her tender care for the deformed
little elephant, the struggle of the
little circus train, Casey, Jr," to
get started with its heavy load on
the summer circuit, and scores of
others.
Not single element Of drama,
comedy, tragedy or what ever has
eluded the whimsical flying pens
of Disney and his staff. They
achieved their greatest moment Of
eXcitement-one Alfred Hitchcock
might we'll envy-in Dumbo's plunge
to earth when, losing his magic
feather, he believes he has lost his
ability to fly. 1t Is the kind of
suspense that virtually stops the
heart even when you know 1t is
going to have a happy ending, or
landing.

that in which Dumbo and Timothy
run into pink elephant dream
after imbibing too much champagne.
The d. It's never have been so
vividly nor whimsically illustrated
as in this rather long. perhaps over
long, sequence involving every type
OF elephant dance from the classic
to the conga. Apache, bubble and
several other types of dancing also
figure in the wildly moving sequence.
Joe Grant and Dick Huemer, who
adapted Dumbos story to the screen,
have provided Disney's artists with
some extraordinarily rich incident
upon which to draw. Their skill,
excellent though 1t is, has been
matched by that of Oliver Wallace
and Frank Churchill, who provided
the score for the picture. None of
the music is of a standard to chal-
lenge that of Snow White" but it
is perfectly matched to the biog.
raphy of the most lovable baby
elephant in the life of the species.

Silk Stocking Area

AS prominent women begin setting an
example Tor the conservation of silk by
wearing cotton stockings, it is interesting
to review the rise and fall of the silk stock
ing area.
In 1899, at the turn of the century, silk
stockings first made their appearance in
American stores. That year, 1852 pairs of
SILK stockings were sold, which constituted
one pair sold for every $500 pairs of cotton
stockings. It didn't look then as if silk
stockings were going to go over with wo-
men and even ten years later, in 1909, less
than one per cent of the stockings sold were
made of silk
1t was not until after the last war that
silk stockings approached the popularity
which they have had recently. Even in
1919, over half of the stockings sold to wo-
men were made of cotton, but during the
next ten years cotton stockings became
drug on the market. In 1929 about Sc per
cent of women were wearing silk stock
ings and last year over 80 per cent of the
stockings sold were made of silk or ravon,
Girls who have grown up during the per-
iod since the last war may find it hard to
get used to the cotton stocking idea, but
their mothers should have less difficulty
dropping fashion which has actually had
such comparatively short life
AS for men, most of them have never
cared much whether their socks were made
OF silk, cotton or WOOL All have preferen-
ces, but last year only about five per cent
of mems socks were made of silk.
