'Snow Srioiv White; Seven Dwarfs'! Now at Grand "SnowWhite and the Seven Dwarfs,' the famous Walt Disney film in feature-length, is now showing at the Grand theatre. It is a conspicuous success in novel entertainment values: "Snow White" . Is a real dramatic enter tainment, enhanced with music. The plot, adapted from "Grimms' Fairy Tales," deals with the won I der-adventures of Princess Snow White, rival in beauty to the wicked queen who seeks her death, but who is foiled by the interpo sition of the dwarf s of the diamond mine, aided by the animal and bird denizens of the forest that find Snow White wandering help lessly through the woods. . Out of this fantastically glamor ous fabric of folklore and fairy legend has been woven a story that carries a subtle and irresisti ble appeal to young and old. It is a far cry from beyond the bor ders of fairyland's ancient glories to the coldly matter-of-fact life of the 20th century, vet the ran he- . ; " , t ween is lum magic.
