Helvenston's story sketch of the "Brainamo." the Empire State Building. Electronics and mad machines of the future give verve to the hair-raising drama of a little boy turned loose in a world of magic dreams. Denizens that are "not quite out of this world nor quite in it," "cartoon" characters portrayed by fleshand-blood actors, are whisked here and there by means of astonishing devices from one suspense-filled scene to the next, as laugh follows gasp in the action-packed episodes of "Kid Magic." Helvenston considers himself immensely fortunate in having such an imaginative fun-loving director as Erie Kenton, known for his "Frankenstein" pictures as well as Abbott and Costello's best grossers.
