All of them agreed that it was the finest picture they had ever seen.

"Just several blocks away on Broadway there are playa running which are dobasing in their appeal. But 'Snow White' is the triumph of all the prin ciples for which the church has fought. It glorified hoppinone, almplicity, goodness, and dramatizes both vice and virtue as no other drame bes dono since the days of the Alorality Pidys in the Midla Ages."
