In the first half of the 1960s, my mother worked for two daily newspapers, first the Piqua Daily Call and then, just down the new interstate highway, the Dayton (Ohio) Daily News. Early in her tenure at the Call, she wrote fillers and such, sometimes under her own byline and sometimes for other columnists. Which brings us to this item, bylined Lola Hill; my clipping of it is not dated nor paged but internal evidence dates it to May-July, 1960.
We're curious to know if Toby Tyler
audiences outnumber the crowds that saw The Shaggy Dog that drew record patronage when it showed here about a year ago.
It should, what with Saturday, Sunday, and a legal holiday all in a row to attract the kids.
Kieth [s/b Kevin] Corcoran has the title role in Walt Disney's Toby Tyler, the circus picture about a runaway who teams up with a chimpanzee named Mr. Stubbs. Knowing his propensity for going overboard emotionally at tense moments at the movies, Dodie Gorsline took her 3 1/2-year-old son, David, to Schine's during the supper hour the other night so that he could emote undisturbed. At one place in the picture when all Toby had to eat was a banana, Mr. Stubbs grabs it and Toby gives him a furious tongue lashing. This was more than David could take without protest. Arising in his seat he stated loudly and firmly, "He's just a LITTLE monkey!" posted: 7:38:47 PM |
