Now the magic of Walt Disney lets you share Alice's adventures with the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, the Walrus and the Carpenter, Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee in an unforgettably joyous experience bright with laughter and gay with music!"; loosely based on the novels by Lewis Carroll) featuring the voices of Ed Wynn ("...the Mad Hatter"), Richard Haydn ("...the Caterpillar"), Sterling Holloway ("...the Cheshire Cat"), Jerry Colonna ("...the March Hare"), Kathryn Beaumont (in the title role as "Alice"), and Verna Felton (as the Queen of Hearts)

Important Added Info: Note that in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). We have been consigned a wonderful collection of 133 of these paper banners, and we are auctioning them all, in 133 separate auctions. This is a great opportunity to acquire one or many of these rare posters!

Condition: fair. There is a great number scuffs and stains scattered throughout the poster. There is a 1" tear in the right border that has paper tape on the back, and an unrepaired tear in the left border (see our image). Obviously, this poster has REALLY major condition issues, but it is incredibly rare and certainly it can be "rescued" by a talented restorer. But please bear this expense in mind before placing a bid on the poster.
