Pollyanna Begins Week Run Today at Morehead By O. J. MORROW Theatre Manager WMi the first turn of a movie camera on a hot day in California's Napa valley, the joining of two legends became a fact? the fic tional legend of Pollyanna and the living legend of Walt Disney. Walt Disney is a household word today. Pollyanna, at least to old er generations, has been a recog nized American institution ever since 1012 when it was first pub lished. Actually, the story of the fabu lous success of the book is as in credible as the story of the public's acceptance of Disne> as a creative genius. Pollyanna Whittier, so the novel reads, was an orphan girl who came to a small eastern town to live with her wealthy, spinsterish, strict, unloved, and seemingly un loving aunt, Polly Harrington. Aunt Polly runs the town of liar rtngton with a velvet-gloved fist She is charitable because it is a civic duty. She maintains the name Harrington in the fashion of a benevolent despot. Into this area of "town accept ance" ot things as they are, comes Pollyanna and her "Glad Game." This is a philosophy which simply says that no matter how bad things are, they could be worse. The effect of the book wag phe nomenal. A New York stock ex change broker suggested to mem bers of the exchange that they read "Pollyanna" to their families. The: inmates of a large eastern prison began playing the "Glad Game," and according to their letters to Miss Porter, it helped them hold hope for the future. In trying to explain just what the youthful heroine believed, Miss Porter said in an interview: "Pol lyanna did not pretend that every thing was good. Instead she rep resented a cheery, courageous ac ceptance of the facts. She under stood that unpleasant things are always with us, but she believed in mitigating them by looking for whatever good there is in what is." The combination of Pollyanna's universal appeal and Walt Disney's genius has resulted in an outstand ing motion picture, one that is al ready being talked of in Acadcmy Award terms. Starring in the Technicolor pro duction are Jane Wyman, Richard Egan, Karl Maiden, Nancy Olson, Adolphe Menjou, Donald Crisp. Agnes Moorehead and Kevin Cor coran. And, as Pollyanna, in the Buena Vista release, Disney is pre senting one of the brightest im. actresses to come into stardom past two decades, 14-year-old Hay ley Mills. Pollyanna starts today and plays for seven days at the j Morehead theatre. Similar Plays Ready to Open New York (AP)?
