Grimhilde<br><br>This four-page script presents the full continuity and dialogue of the first mirror scene as it stood in mid-February 1935. At this point, the film was supposed to open with a song called &#8220;Beautiful Queen&#8221; sung by the people in the Queen&#8217;s castle as sequence 1A. It was later deleted and the finished film opened with sequence 1B, showing the conversation between the Queen and her magic mirror. The Queen is named Grimhilde here (which ryhmes with &#8220;killed&#8221;) and the mirror reveals that she manages to remain fairest of all by killing her rivals. However her life is linked to that of the mirror, and should she break it, she would also die, like she does in <a href=\"https:\/\/snowwhitemuseum.com\/about-the-film\/sequels\/snow-white-2025-disney-remake\/\" title=\"Snow White (2025 Disney Remake)\">the 2025 remake<\/a>. There are references to the popular radio show &#8220;Chandu the Magician&#8221;, famous for its exotic, mystical sound effects, including chiming gongs and ethereal music\u2014used to signal magical events or transitions, and character actor Russ Powell, who apparently impressed the writer for a specific &#8220;pop&#8221; although he played mostly uncredited parts.<br><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id15748_4d867f-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id15748_4d867f-bc > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

mirror scene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the queen enters the room, she closes door and locks it, and the music cuts down. Queen then walks down long room. Music of <strong>&#8220;Beautiful Queen&#8221;<\/strong> fades and ominous music begins to build up, first in counterpoint, then drowning out <strong>&#8220;Beautiful Queen&#8221;<\/strong> altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The room is long, narrow, with mirror floors. The walls are draped in black and dull gold, or dark purple. At the end of the room are three white marble steps, like steps to an altar, and above the steps is the mirror niche. The mirror itself hangs behind long velvet curtains. In two skull-like braziers on either side of the mirror altar burns incense. The light gleams through the skull&#8217;s eye sockets. Wisps of smoke curl upward in a thin, waving stream. The torchers which light the altar are designed as snakes. The flames leap from their open jaws, with some greenish and blueish flames mixed with the orange, giving it the peculiar and beautiful colors of driftwood powder thrown on an open fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The queen pulls on a silken cord. The curtains part, revealing the mirror, with the queen\u2019s face reflected in it momentarily. However, there is a mysterious chiming sound, somewhat like the one used in Chan Du. The mirror begins to get cloudy, the queen\u2019s face is obscured, and the clouds, at first quite transparent, become opaque, finally forming the mirror&#8217;s face. It is an impish, mischievous face \u2013 \u2013 wide, grinning mouth, rather large nose, and with crow&#8217;s-feet laugh-wrinkles around his eyes. As the face appears, the mirror shakes his head like the Boogey Men, ending in a series of Russ Powell pops, with the last one directed insolently right at the queen. Her expression never changes, however. She is used to it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 2fr) minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 2fr) minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(1 of *:not(style)){order:2;}.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(2 of *:not(style)){order:1;}.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(3 of *:not(style)){order:12;}.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(4 of *:not(style)){order:11;}.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(5 of *:not(style)){order:22;}.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(6 of *:not(style)){order:21;}.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(7 of *:not(style)){order:32;}.kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc > .kt-row-column-wrap > .wp-block-kadence-column:nth-child(8 of *:not(style)){order:31;}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id15748_d4bfcb-dc alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-left-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column15748_110815-80 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column15748_110815-80 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column15748_110815-80 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column15748_110815-80 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column15748_110815-80 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column15748_110815-80 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column15748_110815-80{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column15748_110815-80 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column15748_110815-80 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column15748_110815-80\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p>And more than that, she has business to attend to.
