Description
Photograph article dated January 26, 1962 partially reads, "Today's youth is said to be an underprivileged lot, denied many of the earthy joys of previous generations. A crushing blanket of sterile suburbia has all but smothered the life out of all the old-fashioned fun that was once the most cherished inheritance of the young - so the lament goes... But, all is not lost! There is one spot left on this highly organized earth of ours where children - and their parents - can escape into a glittering world of childhood makebelieve - DISNEYLAND. True, the 'Magic Kingdom' of The Great Cartoonist is in reality little more than a multimillion-dollar fantasy facade designed to capture the hearts of the young and the pocketbooks of their elders. But it does, nevertheless, provide a much needed escape from the often harsh realities of the world we live in for both young and old." Photograph caption reads, "Does this duck-bill model suit my personality? Greg asks Bobby during hat-buying interlude at Disneyland... Or perhaps it'll look better tilted like... this."; See images #00142892 through #00142899 for all photos in this series.
