 BY WALT DISNEY

The picture presents exciting adventures, whimsical es- capades. animation marvels, and musical delights slanted toward un- adulterated amusement. This fea- ture starts at the Capitol Theatre tonight.
 Disney has brought in Edgar Bergen and little Luana Patten as living players, plus Bergen's ven- triloqual celebrities, Charlie Me Carthy and Mortimer Snerd, as well as his own Jiminy Cricket. to tie .n the various fantastic diversions that make up the picture, which is about seventy-five percent series of adventures cy animated charac- ters.
 Two closely allied fables are pie Iulcu. MlChCy dIlu tAiC ocoiioeoih is completely Disneyfied variant of the legend. "Bongo,' adapted from a Sinclair Lewis whimsical story, tells about runaway circus bear who found love and perilous adventure in his native wilderness.
 Bergen narrates the "Beanstalk" legend, as visualized in animation for Charlie Mccarthy, Mortimer Snerd and Luana Patten. Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy are the active characters who defy the giant, Willie, in rescuing a little musical damsel in distress. Dinah Shore does similar narration chore for the "Bongo" exploit. An other neat job is done by Cliff Ed wards, as the voice of tiny Jiminy Cricket

Thousands Now Helped

People who hear ordinary

difficulty hearing in church, at
meetings, in the movies and

want to be burdened with
bulky, cumbersome hearing
aids. Thousands of such peo-

Called the Model IS, this all
in-one instrument is the small
est ever made by Western

ounces, including batteries,
yet is amazingly efficient. It
can be worn all the time or
