This boy is wearing one of the Mickey Mouse costumes created by Walt Disney Enterprises, Incorporated. "Mickey Mouse" is one of the most popular and successful animated cartoon creatures originated in the early 1920's by Walt Disney, and will possibly succeed in winning a permanent place in the juvenile pantheon. At the time of this picture Mickey was already becoming internationally known, in France as Michel Souris, for instance, and in the Spanish-speaking word as Miguel Ratoncito. November 30, 1933. P. L. Sperr.
