The sets are done m lovely detail, the puppets are well made and beautifully manipulated The attractive little red hen wears a fetch- ing little apron and the pig and the frog who refuse to help grrow and grind the wheat and bake the cake are quite delightful. One has just a glimpse—but a very satisfying one—of the little red hen's five baby chicks. There are a number of simple repetitious titles to help little children to read In the second part of this film Little Black Sambo parts with all his splendid new clothes to appease the ferocious tigers. Each tiger then boasts in turn of being the finest tiger (the one with the umbrella fastened to his tail is particularly funny) and finally they stage the famous race about the tree—racing until nothing is left but lovely melted butter Little Black Sambo is served pancakes for supper, and, of course, he was able to recover his fine clothes LOUISIANA. 65min 16-sd-rent $12 B&H F Famous stage play of the South, in a prologue and three acts, presented by the original all-Negro Broadway cast, including J.
