Walt Disney's gorgeously
produced musical feature-
length picture "Snow White
and the Seven Dwarfs" will
open on Thursday, March 10
in Detroit, showing at two the-
atres, the Madison and United
Artists simultaneously. Doors
at both houses will open at 9
a. m. Thursday.
"Snow White" has been
breaking country-wide records,
including capturing t h e all-
time high at Radio City Music
Hall in New York, and has be-
come the sensation of motion
picture entertainment. It has
taken its place in the front
ranks of important film attrac-
tions. It will be shown at the
Madison a n d United Artists,
however, with no advance in
prices.
In production for three
years, and costing a million
and a half dollars, "Snow
White" is expected to establish
a standard for future animated
features in much the same

manner that "The Birth of a
Nation" influenced t h e epic
cycle that followed. The Dis-
ney picture is a drastic depar-
ture from previous technique
to the animated field, in that
living, credible beings have
beer: created in the persons of
Snow White, the seven dwarfs,
the queen, the prince and other

characters in the famous

Grimms' fantasy. In addition,
the art treatment departs radi-
cally from cartoon expression.
An illusion of depth has been
added through the use of the
multiplane camera, an inven-
tion perfected by Disney Tech-
nicians. This new camera
treatment makes three-dimen-
sional figures out of characters
drawn in a two-dimensional
medium. Added' Interest at-
taches to the eight musical
numbers in the feature, the
outstanding ones being "Heigh
Ho," a marching song sung by
the dwarfs, and "Whistle While
You Work."
Special musical instruments
were built up within the Dis-
ney studios for the background
music in some sequences of
"Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs."
