presumably to provide holiday
treat for the school-sprung
young during the Christmas
season. The immature young
may go along with this, but
thinking e.ght-year-olds are
likely to consider it mighty
childish.
THE Wonders of Aladdin" is
strictly in the Levine tradition.
1t is populated by a consider
able throng of extras, having
been made in Rome. Tunisia
and in-between. where the 60
ing rate for movie crowds is
far from prohibitive. Its sets
are vast and impressive. its
costumes are brightly-hued and
eye-catching and it has been
filmed in Cinema-Scope an d
Eastman Color.
1t also Is virtually certain to
bore any adult into complete
stupefaction within 10 minutes,
another mark of the Levine i'm
port.
There is one slight difference,
though. Aladdin" has more
comedy - intentional comedy,
that is - than Mr.. Levine's
previous spectacles. This is un-
-derstandable, of course. since
Donald O'Connor, who often is
funny on purpose, and not
Steve Reeves plays the title
role. L-
He probably demonstrates
that he is quite a trouper, too,
cheerfully undertaking any
task that Director Henry Levin
sets for him. This, as Luther
Davis Screenplay unfolds, in
cludes almost every item of
slapstick hokum that ever has
been done to death in the
movies.
In addition to Mr.. O'Connor,
the cast includes Noelle Adam
who is a shapely and fetching
one; a number of other trim
lasses clad in as much as the
law demands and a flock OF
painted PerSianS who Jump UP
and down and whoop around
like keystone Kops. There is
one surprise in THE Wonders
of Aladdin" too. When the
smoke clears after Aladdin rubs
his lamp, the genii turns out
to be. of all people, Vittoric
de Sica. He probably is out
now looking for another lamp
to hide in until this whole
thing blows over.

DEAR ABBY
A New Mother-in-Low Gimmick
BY ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: My mother
in-law, who is 40 and a di-
vorcee, has written that she
is going to send us her IA
year-old, boy-crazy daugh-
ter so we can "straighten her
out" She says the girl is so
wild she can't handle her.
Abby, my husband and I
have been married only eight

and I don't think this is fair
to us. My husband feels sorry
for his mother, and so do I,

mother says I should not
send my godmother an invi-
tation to my graduation be-
cause she couldn't possibly
attend, and it would look like
a request for a gift. I neither
expect nor want a gift. I just
want her to know that her
dchild is graduating.
Would it be all right to send
an invitation and explain
that a gift is unnecessary?
SENIOR.
Since you haven't heard

cept. After graduation, write

you've graduated.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
When to Have Children?
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Parents will agree that al
though children are a con-
slant trial, they are one of
the great satiSfactions life
has to offer. Therefore, I ad-
wise newlyweds not to wait
too long. Some say they will
put off raising a family un-
til at least 5 to 10 years
have passed. Much too
long" say many who have
missed their chance. And
waiting too long to get mar
ried can be another road
block. Consider today's letter
received from Mrs. A., Michi-
gan:
Dear DR.. Steincrchn: I
have been happily married
for four and a half years.
My husband and I love each
other dearly. But all my life
I have been very fond of
children, I've always dreamed
Of having at least one child.
I stayed at home with my
aging parents and didn't
marry till late in life - 38
years old.
"At that time my husband
said I was too old to have
children. I tried every way
to get his consent, but he, re-
fused. Now after four, and a
half years, he decides that
he too wants a child. Well,
I'm so happy I can hardly
believe it; but I am 40 years
old now. I don't have the
faith and strength I had a
few short years ago.
I'm not really writing for
advice, DR.. Steincrohn. I Just
hope you will print my let
ter for the benefit of others.
Let my experience warn your
readers that it's easy to put
things off until tomorrow
where raising a family is
concerned. The trouble is
and what a rude awakening
that the tomorrows slip by
so fast that it's often too late
to begin.
