TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Walt Disney Productions letterhead, June 16, 1961. Disney seeks sponsors for his 'Hall of Presidents' presentation at the 1964-65 New York World's Fair. In part: "On Wednesday, June 28, at 2 P.M., we are having a presentation at the Johnny Victory Theatre, located in the R.C.A. Exhibition Hall…of a show designed for the New York World's Fair - 1964-65 combining the techniques of a motion picture production and stereophonic sound, along with a 3-dimensional 'Hall of Presidents.' It is a dramatic presentation of our Constitutional form of government and the role our Presidents play in preserving the Constitution. I believe it is vital at this time that it be brought before the people of the United States as well as our many foreign visitors because it is entirely applicable to the problems of today. The purpose of this presentation is to interest some American enterprise to sponsor it." In fine condition, with two file holes to the top. Although Disney's vision of the 'Hall of Presidents' did not come to fruition for the 1964-65 World's Fair, a number of Disney attractions were featured at the event—including a talking, animatronic Abraham Lincoln robot for the Illinois Pavilion. An interesting and desirable letter connecting Disney to American history.
