NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The detailed work of producing a motion picture is shown in a special exhibit on the filming of Mark Twain's "Tom Sawyer," arranged at Robinson Hall. On tour from the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the exhibit will be on view until next Wednesday.

Included are many of the properties used in the technicolor film, produced last year, including a hand-painted rubber shovel used in the graveyard murder scene, a balsa wood cane used in a fight sequence, Injun Joe's wig, and one of Bocky Thatcher's costumes.

From the files of the Seiznick studies, producers, the exhibit has many original manuscripts, letters and cables showing the routine of script-writing and revisions, satisfying the censors.
