Still, there are some pleasant things here too. Some of the scenes have a Lili-like lilt. One of the ballets, in which Michael gives Leslie a cooking lesson in the palace kitchen, is a sightly romp. The color is fresh and bright. Cinderella's dress for the ball is wonderful-the skirt looks like a frilly igloo* -and Leslie wears it as a princess should.

...dumped his eleven, his promising sophomores have developed rapidly and should be able to act like veterans against the Crimson. Brown opened with a wet 18 to 7 victory at Providence despite a fine first showing by quarterback Clands Benham. Princeton's Tigere surprised with a 54 to 20 romp at Fraklin Field.
