DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, October 27, 1941. Disney appoints a proxy for the 1941 annual meeting of stockholders of the Hollywood Turf Club. In part: “I, the undersigned, do hereby constitute and appoint Walter G. McCarty, my true and lawful attorneys, agents and proxies with full power of substitution and revocation, to represent me at the Annual Meeting of the Hollywood Turf Club, to be held on November 3, 1941…and do authorize and empower them or any one of them to vote at said meeting, or at any adjournment of said meeting, for me and in my stead, upon the stock then standing in my name on the books of the said Hollywood Turf Club, and I do hereby grant my said attorneys, agents and proxies all the powers I should possess if personally present at said meeting.” Signed at the conclusion in fountain pen by Disney. In fine condition, with intersecting folds, and some mild toning, staple holes and punch holes along top edge.
Disney was a member and shareholder of the Hollywood Turf Club, a posh private club at Hollywood Park, the Inglewood, California race track which opened in 1938. When he opened Disneyland years later, the Hollywood Turf Club gifted him two swans for the moat of the Sleeping Beauty Castle. They were presented by Mervyn LeRoy, a director at the club and onetime producer of The Wizard of Oz, which MGM put into production after the success of Disney’s 1937 masterpiece Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. October 1941 saw the release of Disney’s Dumbo, after which the U.S. military contracted most of his studios to produce training movies and propaganda films for the homefront. A choice document signed with Disney’s unmistakable signature.
