Cinderella, Tough Girl to Cast Emerges
As Athletic, Curry Type By Disney

Others who specialize In COMEDY
characters fall nat on straight
subjects. They have to feel the
character they draw.
"On this project one artist was
miscast. BY the time we dis
covered it, we had lost thousands
of dollars in time and misspent
energy"
Cinderella was successfully teed
of. And what kind Of a girl did
she turn out to be?
The athletic type-tall, slender.
junoesque. Her hair is a rich
brown, her eyes blue-violet. her
skin is vividly colored.
I'VE didn't want to make her q
sweater GIRL" one Disney man
said, but her curves are obvious
and correctly placed"
Sound like the ideal American
girl? She is, despite her foreign
extraction. Disney felt that max
ing Cinderella purely American
was appropriate, inasmuch as
Americans are a potpourri OF
races.
She's No Dazzler.
Cinderella is attractive. but her
looks are not dazzling. AS Story.
man Adelquist explains it:
I'VE want her to appeal to all
women. Thus she can be neither
too beautiful nor too homely. We
want her to be universal type, SO
any woman looking in a mirror
will see something of Cinderella In
herself"
Radio Singer Ilene Woods, %.
and a mother, speaks Cinderella's
lines and MARBLES her six songs.
To assist the animators, the brain
trust ordered the complete story
filmed, using a live actress. Her
actions were studied, but not
copied. The cartoonists improved
upon the model, who was heavier
than the pen-and- ink Cindy. The
screen Cinderella was made will
lowy and ideally graceful.
The brain trust thought the
legendary ash sweeper was too
docile-so they made her gay.
I'm the books. Cinderella was
showed around" says Adelquist.
1--WE gave her spunk. In the
books. her fairy godmother made
things too easy for her. We made
her problems tougher and gave
her the CUTS to go after what she
wanted"
Disney hopes to have Cinderella
in the Nations theaters by
Christmas.

From that moment he was in the

NEW YORK-Probably the best
capsule picture of the current
Broadway theater happened q
few nights ago when the son
of Mary Martin arrived with two
of his pals to see his mother sing
her starring role in the hit musi-
cal, South Pacific"
His mother couldn't get tickets,
the producers couldn't get tickets.
No one could get tickets for this
enchanting musical which has been
selling out to absolute capaciy
for more than 20 weeks, crossing
the absolute limit Of $50.600 every
week at the Imperial.
Because of its unique archi-
tectural plan, there is only a small
space at the Imperial for stand
ing room only" Only about a
dozen spectators are permitted by
fire regulations to stand.
So on the night Miss Martins
son and his two pals came. he and
his buddies were the first in line
to buy one of the few tickets
which would give them the right
to stand through perfect musi-
cal.
The fact Miss Martin and all
her charming influence could not
get tickets for her most enthusi-
astic one-man audience highlights
|a tremendous change in the box
Office viewpoint in Broadway thea
ters., During the summer when
normally there is a considerable
box office drop even at hit shows,
there has been q continual high
level Of patronage.
No one has an explanation for
it except that the surviving shows
are Of high quality. and audi
ences seem to have more know
how now In picking good shows.
They refuse to take second choices
when they can't get tickets for
hits like South Pacific" kiss

from home, she was laughed at
when she tried to sing or act in
the booking offices. A sympathetic
agent gave her train fare and she
arrived home on a Christmas eve,
weeping but still determined.
She Lost Her Temper.
Even later. after being hired to
sing with Vincent Lopez orches-
ira, she overheard the news Of her
dismissal because she
hadn't clicked. No pep. said Lopez.
Betty went pad on the

History is replete with tales OF
dauntless folks, undismayed by
early failures, who hammered
their way to eventual success
even immortality. So, it's not
surprising to find that Hollywood
claims perhaps more than its share
of boys and girls who refused to
let bad breaks get them down.
Lucille Ball Is one who should
be awarded some sort Of citation
for both courage and acting abil-
tty. This red-haired miss, now
counted one of the best box
office draws In the business, muffed
her first three chances in show
business.
First off as a young lady fresh
from Butte, Mont, she entered in
o New York dramatic school, only
to be told after year that she
was wasting her money. Undis-
couraged, she made the rounds Of
booking agents, landing three
jobs, only to be fired on each oc-
casion before opening night.
Worked Soda Job.
Lucille's last dismissal was from
the cast .of "Rio Rita" so she
turned to soda jerking. She did
not do we'll behind a fountain.
Next some one suggested she try
modelling. That's where Lucille
really clicked. After her lovely
face and figure hit a few color
covers on popular magazines.
Hollywood beckoned. She's been
in movies ever since. climbing
steadily. And when a girl finds
herself chosen twice in a row
as leading lady for Bob Hope,
that must mean she's arrived.
After her scintillating job in "Sor-
rowful JONES'" Lucille was brought
back to co-star with Bob in Fancy
Pants"

HOLLYWOOD.


What does the most famous girl
in all legend look like?
This was Walt Disney's first
problem when the cartoon wizard
decided to film the story of Gin
derella.
Should the storied slavey Of
the hearth be blond or brunei,
slender or plump. sexy or prim?
Casting a cartoon is infinitely
tougher than casting human &C
tors. Cinderella's photograph
isn't listed in the casting di-
rectory. She exists only in the
imaginations of men.
So the Disney brain trust
Walt, his story men, two artists
and directors - began thinking,
even dreaming. about Cinderella.
She had to be cast with caution,
for the mythical lass Is world
figure, and Disney shoots for the
world market.
She Is Everywhere.
Waits researchers learned that
versions of the Cinderella legend
are part Of the folk lore Of almost
every land-except America. The
European nations. Egypt. India,
even oriental countries, have their
Cinderellas.
The myth of the simple girl
whose goodness is rewarded by
marriage to a prince may have

and Eve, it has been twisted into
fodder for countless plays. operas,
soap operas. movies and song

worried about the size of her feet.
They psychoanalyzed her. The

created a temperament. manner

havior for her. s.-..
But Cindy still was not cast
she had yet to be "teed of" :"
Teeing of is the process Of

the character from dozens of
angles and in dozens of poses;
drawing it in anger, repose, JOY
and tears.
Comes Personality.
The tee-of artist gives the pic
ture a personality. His sketches
are the models which animators-
men who draw the pictures you
see on the screen-use as guides.
Casting a tee-off artist is often
more touchy than casting a car
toon's star.

CANTON ECHO
By Heck

Canton, O., Mar. lO-Last Sat.
night, March S, the Canton Bull
dogs and the Youngstown Wild
cats played to a near capacity
crowd on the Belden school floor.
The game which was originally
scheduled for 7:3O p. m. was de-
ldyed all hour due to trouble
with one of the Youngstown buss-
es. Could this delay have been
the cause of the Bulldogs being
so hot? Having had ever all f,ours
practice before the game it warm
ed the boys up and took the ten
sion out of them. The Bulldogs
mauled the Wildcats by "a to
40 score. The Bulldogs were tied
only onces and that was in the
opening minutes of the game 4
to 4. The quarter scores were all
in Cantons favor being lS-9, "a
to Is, SO to SO and "a to 40.
Next week our game with Sa-
lem will be played on a neutral
floor at Cleveland East High
School. This being the game Of
the year it behooves everybody
to go and see this game. 1t makes
|no difference who wins this game
1t means just as much to either
team and you can be sure that it
will be a we'll played game and
the sportsmanship will be of the
best caliber no matter who wins
but Of course this reporters hope
are with the bulldogs. Anyone
desiring to make reservations on
the bus please contact either
