"FANTASIA."
Sir,-Your film reviewer states, in his preview of Fantasia, that Disney has studiously avoided Stravinsky’s own intentions. I read lately that Stravinsky himself, when he saw "The Rite of Spring," vowed that it was exactly what he had in mind when he composed it. He signed a contract to do more work for Disney. Also, since when has Dorothy Thompson been a film reviewer?
DISNEY FAN
(Christchurch).
(Our film reviewer merely quoted the musiccritics [including Marsyas] who had "castigated Disney for studiously avoiding Stravinsky’s own intentions,"" He did not agree with such music critics: on the contrary. The report that Stravinsky was well satisfied was printed in Time. Dorothy Thompson is a columnist: we quoted her as an example of a very hostile opinion on Fantasia.-Ed.)
