Photograph article dated August 5, 1964 reads, "Did you ever see a tree talk? Or a mouse sing? Would you like to see a rabbit dance? Well, it's all easy to do if you make a trip to Geniiland at 13607 Ventura Blvd. This is the place here [sic] thousands of youngsters dreams come true every year. At this Sherman Oaks wonderland, any child can celebrate his or her birthday in the midst of a magic forest peopled with miraculous puppets and marionettes designed and operated by a Van Nuys homemaker, mother of two children, named Jeanne Cease." Photograph caption reads, "Storytime - Jeanne Cease tells story during one of parties at Geniiland. At left is one of animals on which she practices ventriloquism."; See images # 00082917 and #00132706 through #00132709 for all photos in this series.
