Walt Disney's first work in cartoons was drawing for his school newspaper in Chicago. After the family moved to Kansas City, Missouri, Walt, in his early 20s, started Laugh-O-Gram Studios where he made short cartoons for theaters in Kansas City. His first attempt at drawing cartoons to be distributed on a national level was Alice's Wonderland in 1923 based loosely
on Alice in Wonderland. He did not have success in selling his project until Margaret Winkler, cartoon distributor in New York, agreed to buy his cartoons at $1,500.00 per reel. Winkler had just lost the rights to Felix the Cat and needed a new series. Alice's Wonderland had been started in Kansas City in 1922 and was filmed in Walt's Uncle's garage with brother Roy being the cameraman. After the pilot turned out to be successful, Winkler purchased 6 more Alice comedies and agreed to purchase 6 more every few months. The Walt Disney empire was born. The Alice comedies were one reel (10 to 12 minutes) short cartoons combining live action with animation. Virginia Davis was the main character and starred in the first 15 Alice films made in 1924 and 1925. In 1926 and '27, Alice would be played by Margie Gay and Alice Hardwick. The first Mickey Mouse cartoon would not appear until 1928, 5 years after the first Alice comedy.
Virginia Davis was born December 1918 in Kansas City, Missouri and began working for Walt Disney's Laugh O Gram Studios in 1923 at age 5. She made 15 films at Disney's California studios after the success of Alice's Wonderland. After her work with Disney, she was in numerous other Hollywood films and could be seen in Flying Down to Rio, Young and Beautiful, Vivacious Lady, College Holiday, and her final picture~The Harvey Girls~ in 1946. Her name may not be familiar to most as she acted under the screen name Mary Daily.
When the Alice movies were filmed, Virginia said that Walt would film in a vacant lot. "He would drape a white tarpaulin over a billboard and I would work in pantomime. They would add the animation around me later and it was such fun. Curious kids in the neighborhood who would show up to see what was going on would be hired as extras and Walt would give them 50 cents each for their few minutes of having fun". Virginia said of her career with Walt, "to be a part of all the animation history before anyone ever heard of Mickey Mouse or the Three Pigs was just heart warming for me." On her friendship with Walt, Virginia said that "He never got mad at me or had any ill feelings when my mother made me quit the Alice Comedies over money disputes with Walt. I could always come to his office and see him whenever I wanted and he even gave me a job as an inker in his cartoon studios as well as have me do voice overs in some of his cartoons." Virginia was chosen for the part of Snow White but again, Virginia lost the part over her mother's ever increasing demands for more money.
Virginia had been the perfect little actress for the comedies. Carl Rehfeld, who directd her in The Greater Glory, (1925) said that Davis "has the technique of a finished artist, the unusual ability to follow direction and the disposition of an angel." She was a friend to Disney to the end~active in promoting and participating in silent film festivals at Disney World. Virginia married Navy Aviator Robert McGhee and they were married fir 59 years until McGhee's death. Virginia passed away in California in 2009 at age 90.
