Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Taking advantage of the success of such Silly Symphony songs as "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" and "The World Owes Me a Living"

Walt Disney put eight musical numbers into his first feature, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," soon io be screened in Shanghai.

"Some Day My Prince Will Come is the theme number of the entire production. Not only does Snow White sing it, but its haunting melody used as a back-ground for many of the romantic scenes. "One Song," a tuneful ballad, is the prince's love song to Snow White.—"Hi-Ho" is the theme song for the dwarfs. It is a lusty marching tune which they sing in going to and from their work.

All of the numbers were written by Frank Churchill and Larry Morey and will be translated into French, German, Spanish, Italian and the Scandinavian languages.
