Please do not sell DVDs of this video. It was uploaded so everyone can enjoy it for free.
I know the hiss in this video’s audio may be too uncomfortable for some. I’ve left the older video up so you can still see the film; that one is just not complete though.

Information About the Film
---------------------------------------------
The first Wonderland in sound was filmed in New Jersey! Directed by Bud Pollard and starring Ruth Gilbert as Alice. In the 30’s, there was an “Alicemania“ because of the centenary of Lewis Carroll’s birth. Even the “real“ Alice herself came to New York City for the celebrations in 1932 (she was 80 at the time). It’s probable that this movie was made to capitalize on the Alice craze.
The be truthful it’s not a “good“ movie or a fantastic Alice adaptation, however, it’s historically interesting and it does have its own peculiar charm. The screenplay is not based off the book itself, but of a popular stage adaptation: Mrs. Burton Harrison’s 1898 script “Alice in Wonderland: a Play for Children in Three Acts.“ It’s relatively faithful, but adds a few things; most bizarrely, a love affair between the Duchess and the White Rabbit.

About the Video
---------------------------------------------
This video was possible because David Schaefer put his rare collection on DVD through the Lewis Carroll Society of North America. However, /even his/ version was missing shots. My good friend, Curiouser and Curiouser put it together to make the complete film, for the first time.
However, you will notice there is a noticeable hiss. We have tried to edit it out, or even just reduce it, but we weren’t happy with the quality loss. We have no experience in audio editing. Unfortunately, because of the age of film, prints are not identical and we can’t just replace the audio with another. If anyone who knows how to use audio editing software could help, we’d appreciate it.
