He draws rough sketches of reactions, helps Sutherland's art director with their translation into smooth, readily understood pictures. Hildebrand's committee reviews screen tests of animated reactions (it turned down six of the first eight shown) and reworking begins. When the first classes see the two $50.000 films next spring, nine months of painstaking effort will have gone into them. Sample: frequency...
