Snow White's premiere - 74 years ago tonight

Tonight marks the 74th anniversary of the premiere of Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Hollywood.

I've written extensively about this eventul evening in several other posts on this blog. You can read them by clicking on this "Snow White" link.

Here are a few more interesting photos to go along with all the others I've published in the past.

 A quartet of comedians and comediennes: Jack Benny, Mary Livingstone, George Burns, and Gracie Allen walk down the blue carpet under a canopy of lights to attend the premiere.

The Dwarf's cottage and several other structures were constructed on Wilshire Boulevard to add to the flavor of the event. Image courtesy the Los Angeles Public Library.
