By FRED HIFT Central Press Correspondent NEW Disney was asked recently what Mickey Mouse had made over the years. Without hesitation and smiling Disney came back with a one-word reply: "Me." This year, in October to be the word's best-known mouse celc-; brates its 25th birthday on the' movie screen; and Disney, who owes much of his initial success to i the little fellow, is marking the! occasion by jutting out a special picture that will trace Mickey's. whole history, from the 1928: Steamboat Willie to the present. The story of Mickey Mouse and his girl friend, Minnie, starts in a speeding train IP which Disney nd his wife are riding from New to Hollywood.

They are a ejected couple. Disney has just had a row with is distributor. For some time now has been turning out shorts fea- uring Oswald and Rabbit. He vants to improve them. However, tie distributing company has given he young artist the boot with the ynical observation that it can reate its own Oswald from here in, thank you.

That- leaves a )isney minus a character. ON THAT TRAIN, the Disney's wrack their brains for a new animal. Cats, dogs, rabbits they've all been done. Then Walt has a brainstorm. "We'll use a mouse," he tells his wife excitedly.

"We'll call him Mickey Mouse." She likes idea and he goes to work right here and then, sketching out the "irst Mickey Mouse scenario. That is how the most popular cartoon character in screen history was born. Little did Disney suspect that he would bqild his for- on him; that he was creating the leading character of modern fable whose influence was to reach around the world and whose earning power would outshine that of Hollywood's brightest stars. Mickey Mouse inevitably was followed by others like Donald Duck, Pluto, Pegleg Clara bell Cow and so on, but none ever quite came up to the mouse's popu larity. At the height of his career PLUTO THE PUP has baked something very special.

Walt Disney Productions WALT DISNEY ADDS a few touches to portrait of a friend. Walt Disney Productions appreciated his humor. France they called him youngsters would refer to him as Miki Kuchi. He had and still has dras of the Eskimo. AS A MONEY EARNER, the impishly amiable fellow has done mighty well by himself and his creator.

In addition to the revenue from the Mickey Mouse shorts, of which there are by now several i hundred, the famous name today also sells a wide variety of mer-, jchandise, from watches, i shoes and dungarees to pencils, 1 Ipens, books, records, bicycles and I a vast number of toys. Mickey i Mouse comic books still are mostj i consistent sellers all over the i I world. i The first audience to see Mickey i was at the Colony theater in New York on Oct. 28, 1928. The cartoon i was called Steamboat Willie and 'actually made the third Mickey Mouse short to be turned out by Disney, who then was rtill using a converted garage as his studio.

The first subject, without sound, had gone to New York, where it went virtually unnoticed by an just turned topsy-turvy by a new element sound. Disney didn't give up; instead drew a second and a third to assure Mickey's success Like the true immortal that he is, the Mouse has not changed much in appearan'ce and not at all in spirit during his triumphant 25- year career. He has fleshed out a little since his first scrawny youth. Once he lost his tail but quickly regained it in conferences between Disney and his animation artists. His movements today are less awkward than they used to be.

Essentially, however, he looks the same. 'He still has three fingers on his hands; wears soft sole- less shoes where once he was barefoot. His clothes, always natty, are a fashion unto himself. There are no wrinkles, no gray hair, no loss for knightly joust with whatever fate or circumstance Walt afflicts him with to test his mettle. IF THERE is a change, it is that the modern Mickey is subject to a few more restrictions than he used to be.

He has always been wholesome and without gall, virtually without a weak trait. He abashed no one ind offended'no one. Yet, Mickey couldn't be called a namby-pamby, wishy-washy mousy character. In fact, as Disney himself has often said, Mickey may look a little like a mouse, but he really hasn't the nature of one, being more a humanized relative of an animal, with human traits, foibles, motives and emotions. If there are today fewer Mickey Mouse shorts than there used to be, the fault lies with himself.

From the very start his own falsetto been that of the Mouse. What with running a big studio, Walt these days just doesn't have the time to spare for recording. However, he is sentimental about his favorite character, and for the future intends to devote himself more diligently to the job of Pressure Lowered New Chloride launching him on his second quarter-century of screen adventure.
