Alice In Wonderland (1915)
American silent dark fantasy adventure.
Alice goes with her sister to a picnic and then she falls asleep and starts dreaming about a wonderland full of talking animals and walking playing cards.
This film version is notable for depicting much of the ‘Father William’ poem and it includes footage resembling Tenniel’s illustration of Father William doing his back-somersault at the front door.
Alice In Wonderland (1915) was the first Alice film to combine the chapters from Through the looking glass with those of Alice’s adventures in Wonderland. However, most of the looking glass portion is lost.
Viola Savoy was 15 at the time she made Alice in Wonderland (1915); although it was her first film, she had been acting since infancy on the stage, performing in well over 100 productions. However, after “Alice”, she made only one more film before leaving both films and the stage, never to return.
