starts many a fearful scene be-
tween mother and son. And

Austrian version of Johnny, four
year-Old johannes Won Trap, an
American born scion of the old
Austrian nobility. is inclined like
other little BOYS IN America (and
all over the world. for that natter =.
to be a bit suspicious OF foods pre-
sented as good for him But his
wise mother, Baroness Maria Au-
euSta Won Trapp prepares spinach
dishes SO alluringlv that they are
welcomed not only by little johann
mes. but by ms two big brothers and
seven sisters who together with
their mother. arc famous all over
the world as the Trap Family
Singers.
