In some aspects. 1t is just
this in an old-faShioned

the roller-coaster ride of the

this time by q horse-drawn

fects. These are at their best

tale sequence. THE Singing

knight and his varlet set out
to slay a dragon.
The dragon is a wonderful
monster in this stretch Of
nonsense. One almost regrets
that his species has disap-
peared. 1t has destroyed one
of life's major excitements.
Yet, by way Of balance, 1t
affirns better than any
other single passage in 1.-THE
Wonderful World" that Gin
erama is back, that it has
left the little world of fact
or reality in favor Of the one
of fiction and fantasy.

seemed the more logical
choice.
So, Cinerama went. 1t was
missed. Moviegoers who had
once been wrapped in Hima-
layas went back uneasily to
down puffs or burlap. or
whatever they had in which
to wrap themselves.
The earth did not really
seem suddenly without form
and void. Not quite. Less
shapely would describe it
more accurately.
A Time Of Sorrow
1t was a time for sorrow
and many Sorrowed. Many,
but not all. There were
brave hearts who held to the
hope that Cinerama was
merely dormant; that it yet
might make the great leap
from fact to fiction. After
all, it was the era of the
great leap; forward people
hoped, but backward if i'm
perative.
1t is these who account
for the fact that Cinerama
is back, that it returned this
week to Washington. And.
for the fact that it returned
to a new and glamorous
theater. This could only
mean, as it does mean, that
Cinerama had made the
great leap. Now, it is as
sured that 1.-THE Wonderful
World of the Brothers
Grimm" is but the first in
a series of Cinerama films.

To keep from getting bored,

Miss Hepburn looks almost
the same today as she did
in 1886. Carlo rarely comes
