A world that thought ftuslf in love with sophlatt- cation kas suddenly turned to the simple whole some side of movie entertainment, Dr. Christian F. Roisuer, pastor of Broadway Temple Methodist Episcopal Church, told his audienco in a racent special Sunday, evening sorman devoted to the Walt Disney pleturo, "Snow White and the Bevon Dwarfs," which has had a phenomenal five weeks' run in New York's largeat theatro.
liis talk of this RKO Radlo Picturo was preceded with a playlot by a group of childron, and by slides of scones from the alm. The playlot, davisod by Edward J. Hayes, who has had charge of the Broad- way Temple'n church plays since 1980, took in the highlights of the action, from the jealousy of the queen through the friendship of Snow White and the dwarts, to the arrival of the prince to break tho enchanted atoep of the princess..

"It is a good sign when more than a half million persons in this one city of New York fook to 'Bnow Whito',". Dr. Reisner declared. "It shows that when something that is great in its simplicity, and simple in its greatness arrivos, there is an audience for It. I spoke to mothers and young people in the lobby of the Music Hall, after I anw the ploture-which I mean to see at least half a dozen times. All of them agreed that it was the finest picture they had over soon.
"Just sovoral blocks away on Broadway thera are plays running which are debasing in their appeal. But 'Snow White' is the triumph of all the prin ciples for which the church has fought. It glorified happiness, simpllelty, goodness, and dramatizes bolh vico and virtue as no other drama has done since the days of the Morality Plays in the Middle Agca."
