‘Shot by my grandfather a year after the California theme park opened. It was quite a surprise seeing my grandmother meeting Walt Disney himself! As someone who never really knew his grandfather; these reels of film have really let me feel related to him and the rest of my family, too.’

“In these newly preserved tests, made in 1922 at the Paragon Studios in Fort Lee, New Jersey, actress Mae Murray is joined by actress Hope Hampton modeling costumes from The Light in the Dark (1922), which contained the first commercial use of Two-Color Kodachrome in a feature film. Ziegfeld Follies actress Mary Eaton and an unidentified woman and child also appear.”
