This immortal story by Charles Dickens concerns the adventures of a young orphan, Oliver Twist, in the heartless city of London. The boy, penniless and unversed in the ways of the city, falls in with a gang of crooks. He is trained to be a pickpocket, fails to make good, is rescued by a benevolent gentleman, and climbs at last into an atmosphere of respectability and afifluence. Dickie Moore is superb in the title role. Simple, appealing and childish, he wins all hearts and supplies a quaint central figure. Irving Pichel as the cunning Fagin is superb. William (Stage) Boyd as the evil Bill Sikes imparts a sinister quality that is gripping. 7i vtiii. (Pub. S, PB, WDS, P, see page 7).
