Although Dumbo offers no startling innovations in animated cartooning, it is probably Disney's best all-round picture to date. Though it lacks the bomb-burst novelty of Snow White, its craftsmanship is far beyond that memorable fairy tale's. Seldom has Disney articulated his characters so aptly. Dumbo is a most human little fellow, not bright, but willing. His costar, Timothy, is an appealing caricature of a Hollywood agent with a heart. The elephant ladies' aid society ("Girls!

In local bookie shops, betting commissioners made Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan, onetime fellow caddies at the nearby Glen Garden Club, co-favorites at 5-t01. Some experts rate Nelson the best all-round golfer in the world. Others say the same about Hogan, who has not been out of the money in 47 consecutive big-time tournaments. But in the Open almost anything can happen...
