Robbing 1947 14min sd color $90, rent $7.50 707 c-ad-forum Deals with the average young child's creative expression thru art "For parents. The narrator patiently explains to uncomprehending: adults why expression through crayon, paint and paper is important to the child. He points out that children, though ignorant of technical means, are assured in transforming their ideas into concrete expression. Though he insists that the act and the satisfactions attained by the child are the important things, never-the-less few adults can help being impressed by the talent and genuine expressiveness evident in many of the examples of work shown in the course of the film. The camera has caught the spirit of children absorbed in creative effort remarkably and the fine color registration is extremely important in bringing out the boldness of colors and conceptions."
