"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is the most ambitious bid for

prestige that the Warner Com- pany or perhaps any other has ever made. No pains are being spared

All manner of camera tricks will be used to heighten lusion. The script calls for a comet that strikes the ground; characters that run up the moon path, a leap by Puck on to a doorknob.. and fairies whose dancing feet never touch the ground.
