Shorts Parade ( Continued from page 2874) sized wolf-like character derived from his tail, and terming himself Pluto’s primitive instinct. He talks Pluto into foregoing his soft food meal and hunting meat. In the woods, Pluto runs afoul of a large-track¬ leaving rabbit and a by-standing huge bear. The rabbit’s defense is more than ample, and Pluto scampers home, where the instinct has eaten his food. GOOD. (04114) . Sports SKI RIDERS. RKO — Sportscopes. 8m. Nassau, in the Bahamas, is the spot, and water skiing is the sport. While this has some interesting moments, the subject has been well covered in similar shorts.

(Made in England) (Color by Technicolor) Estimate: Picturization of classic rates with the best of its kind. Cast: Bobby Driscoll, Robert Newton, Basil Sydney, Walter Fitzgerald, Denis O’Dea, Ralph Truman, Finlay Currie, John Laurie, Frances de Wolff, Geoffrey Wilkinson. Produced for Walt Disney by Perce Pearce; directed by Byron Haskin. Story: In England, ex-pirate Finlay Currie leaves a map of Treasure Island to youngster Bobby Driscoll, whose friends, Walter Fitzgerald and Denis O’Dea, organize an expedition headed by captain Basil Sydney. Cook Robert New¬ ton, actually a pirate, manages to get other pirates signed on as hands, and takes a liking to Driscoll, who eventually realizes that Newton is out for no good. Driscoll warns his friends, who prepare for a fight. The tide of battle keeps changing, with Newton and crew on one side and Driscoll and friends on the other. Geoffrey Wilkinson, left stranded on the island years before, comes to the aid of Driscoll after Newton has taken him as hostage. A fight for the possession of the island fort ensues, and Driscoll slips away, and sets the ship adrift. Newton gets the map, but the pirates find the treasure gone. Driscoll, captured by Newton, is eventually rescued, and Newton taken into custody. However, he escapes, and heads out to sea. The treasure secure, the voy¬ age back to England follows. X-Ray: Anyone who has been thrilled by the Robert Louis Stevenson tale should be a ready customer for this film, which brings to life all the color, adventure, and excitement of a classic that is required reading for every child. Made with an eye to detail and faithfulness, the film ranks with the best of its kind, and it is loaded with boxoffice potentialities. Its handicaps rest in the fact that it has only one American name for the selling, and that it is British-made. The appeal must be to the adults. Acting, headed by New¬ ton, who turns in a remarkable perform¬ ance, is aces all the way, and the direction and production hue to the spirit of Stev¬ enson in a rare manner. In short, this is made as well as it could be. What it does at the boxoffice will depend on the show¬ manship, merchandising, and salesman¬ ship. Tip On Bidding: Higher bracket. Ad Lines: “Now ... A Great Classic Comes To Life”; “Thrill To The Greatest Adventure Of All Times”; “They Were Pirates Bold . . . And He Was Only A Cabin Boy . . . But He Beat Them All.” Servisection 9 2877
