Disney Builds Half-Pint History
The delighted face at the door (left) is not Alice’s, nor is the scene Wonderland. Instead, a grown girl is peering into a 30-inch-long living room in Disneyland, a miniature historic America that is to cover a 50-acre tract in Los Angeles. Disneyland, which still has a long way to grow, is the latest enthusiasm of the celebrated creator (above) of Mickey Mouse. Its purpose is to entertain people of all ages and also to teach them by means of tiny but exact models how life in the US. developed to its present level. Disney has collected miniature copies of antique furnishings from all over the country and built others in his studio workshops. He has set farmhouses among “crops” of paper, cloth, wax and wood.
