...DISNEY ON PARADE. 100 Disney characters in person. The U.S. of A.'s finest, much better than the exported stuff. (Someone's parading in Santiago tonight, too, but it isn't Mickey Mouse). Through Sunday at the Boston Garden. I CAME INTO THE WORLD, by Peter Handke, and THE JEWISH WIFE, by Bertolt Brecht. This double bill played for months on end last year. Friends of mine claimed it was outstanding although they couldn't understand the Handke and didn't like the Brecht. Opens tonight at 8:30 p.m. at the Old Cambridge Baptist Church, 1151 Mass...
...pharaoh of fast food. "When I was a little boy, my father took me to a phrenologist," he recalls. "I was told that I would make my best living either in the food business or as a musician.

...musical score is for the most part tolerable, even though many of the lyrics seem womewhat stilted and pointless. The indefinite and indecisive nature of the music itself (is it supposed to be Dixieland or isn't it?) reminded this listener of much of the lesser material found in Disney's Mary Poppins, an earlier Sherman-Sherman songwriting opus...
...although some argue that the Digest's unique policies result in a conservatively biased, second-class magazine, it cannot be denied that when applied to family filmmaking they result in a suitable effort, perhaps the likes of which have not been seen since the death of Walt Disney. Tom Sawyer is far from perfect, to be sure. But compared with such recent Disney productions as The Love Bug, it will no doubt provide quite a refreshing change for those who enjoy "family" films...
