Signed book: Ivanhoe. First edition. San Francisco: Bohemian Club, 1936. Hardcover, 5.25 x 8, 107 pages. Boldly signed on the first free end page in purple fountain pen by Walt Disney and six others, including artist Harold Helvenston. The front pastedown bears the ownership signature of prominent San Francisco bookseller John Howell. Autographic condition: very fine. Book condition: VG/None. The Bohemian Club staged this adaptation of Ivanhoe, written by Charles Gilman Norris with music by Harry I. Wiel, in 1936 as their annual outdoor ‘Grove Play’ at their annual celebration at Bohemian Grove. While Disney was not a member of the club, he did visit in 1936—an event credited as the inspiration for the snoring scene in the dwarfs’ cottage in Snow White. An absolutely gorgeous autograph with a unique association.
