far more temperate terms, but the
moppet mob at yesterdays first
showing of the picture revealed an
unabashed liking for Disney's more
narrowing version.
This may have been the result OF
its knowing that the story always
came out right no matter how ap-
palling the odds appear to be IN
favor of the giant. Or, perhaps as
an adjacent cynic suggested, 1t is
Just that they don't care.
Disney's giant, sort OF enlarged
Popeye, is an amiable type who
looks reasonably harmless except
for his clumsiness. Moreover, there
Is always the skeptical Mccarthy to
interrupt narrator Bergen at the
story's most exciting moments with
a down. ose-comment on how
easily giants may be handled.
Another trio of songs works its
way into the color charged laby-
rinths of the beanstalk half Of Fun
and Fancy Free"-"Oh, What a
Happy Day." I'm a Most Amazing

The major Joy Of Keith's exhibit,
however, derives from the simple
fact that Disney is more like his
old self again.

Hollywood:
Bing Crosby
To Do Film
For Capra

Bing Crosby will get the role of
the year-next year-in friendly
Persuasion" which perhaps will be
the first film on Frank Capra's new
schedule at Paramount. The lead
ing character is a>Quaker a during
the Civil War period. I don't be-
lieve that Bing and Capra have
ever made a movie together, but
it's a combination that should pay
off.
Robert Cummings is the No. /
choice for the lead in "One Touch
of Venus" Dick Haynes wants to
do it, too, but says he'll settle for
tough-guy western story.
Ida Lupino is campaigning like
crazy for the leading LADY role with
Burt Lancaster in Kiss the Blood
off My Hands" I hope Burt is
kidding when he says he doesn't
want to act any more. He is too
exciting as an actor for him to be
merely directing or producing pic
lures.

Fun and Fancy Free" is just en-
tertainment. There is nothing IN
spared about it. 1t is two rather
longish Disney short subjects sort OF
telescoped into a full-length feature,
And, while 1t employs several hu-
mans and Edgar Bergen's two fam
GUS dummy characters, its emphasis
is upon the masters nenagerte OF
mice to bears, and his aerie which
runs from bluebirds to dragon. flies.
It is good to have all OF the latter
back again, especially Donald Duck,
Pluto, Mickey Mouse. and Jimmy
Cricket.
The new character introduced IN
Fun and Fancy Free" is another
who promises to persist IN DOM
inant place in the affections OF those
who want Disney to tell them
stories. He is a toy-type bear named
Bonso and he Is the hero of the
first of the two stories narrated in
the film.
After pleasant singing intro
duction to his instantly captivated
public by Dinah Shore, Bongo is
launched upon a series of breath
taking adventures. He Is a circus
bear, with q great acrobatic talent
who ends his daredevil act by div
ing 300 feet and landing in wet
sponge. But for all his fame, Bongo
Is miserable. He is always hearing
the call Of the wild and yearning
to be Just bear like all other bears
When he gets his opportunity te
crafty the yearning, he discovers
that it is not very much fun being
any kind of bear; that the woods
are full of terrifying noises, an en-
ticing bathing beauty of a bear
named Lulubelle, and full COM
plement Of other discomforts anc
horrors.
Bongo's story is painted with al
the old Disney vividness and en-
braces all the familiar fauna ano

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

I greatly enjoyed a recent: inter-
view with Michel, one of the worlds
cleverest hair stylists. Michel be-
lieves in change as a factor in keep
ing us youthful and intriguing. He
said, Tell women not to be afraid
of new fashion. Everything that
is dated looks old when everything
that is new looks young"
To prove this point, he suggested
that we look at the photographs of
a movie actress, or ourselves, taken
20 years ago, or gaze in dismay at
the lines of an automobile 20 years
old. I can see what he means and
it amuses me when I remember how
some years ago 7 fought getting that
dipping lock of hair off my forehead!
If they had taken off one of my
arms it would not have seemed more
drastic at the time. I thought I
would look 20 years older without it
and homely as sin. Now think I
would look 80 years older than I am
if I put it back again.
Michel insists, and T am sure he
is right, that it is a question of giving
the eyes time to become accustomed
to new style. Women fought the
upsweep at first and then did not
want to give it up. This is always
true when new mode is introduced
I believe that this is a sound, re-
freshing viewpoint. Nothing is more
valuable to a middle-aged woman's s
appearance than keeping smart and
new looking in her hair styling, and
avoiding dated look Maintaining
an open mind as to change will also
be reflected in inner youthfulness.
Fear of change is always aging.
Michel was responsible for the top
knot which has had such hold on
women. He introduced the Grecian
and the side coiffures. The very
latest mode is his cap coiffure. The
style just off the griddle of fashion
is small head effect with the hair
fiat on top and coming forward at
the sides. This will probably match
the hats of the future, because this
stylist works in close cooperation
with hat and clothes designers.

Clothes Must

Martha Graham, who is ap-

has a number of things to say
concerning of stage" clothes for
herself and for women in general.
A requirement for dance gar
ment or any piece of clothing is
that it move" well. She says
one should choose clothes by
moving around in them, by seeing
them in action"
Another Graham comment and
one that many women ought to
heed is that high fashion has no
value if it overpowers the wearer.

ionable. She also suggests that

How far a word of kindness goes:

The deed forgotten reappears.
One kindly word
The souls of many here has stirred.
Man goes his way
And tells with every passing day,
Until life's end

What lips are praising us today.
We cannot tell
Whose prayers ask God to guard us well.
But kindness lives
Beyond the memory of him who gives.

making, though, but + do not want
to go into this hobby on large

candles. Also I would like to know
where I can buy candle wick for
