.It seems unlikelythat any of them worked for Disney on any of his later films.He spoke ofRudolph Ising as one of the  boys, but Ising almost certainly was not one.It was an unsettled time for Walt Disney.Herbert, a mail carrier, movedon the farm and i n the ci ty, 1 901  1 923 29 his young family to Oregon in July 1921, and Elias and Flora followed themto Portland, probably in the fall, although once again there is a cloud of un-certainty about just what happened.77 There is not even a record that Eliasever sold the Bellefontaine house, although city directories suggest that Waltmoved by late in 1921 to the first of a series of rented rooms.He probablyrented his  little shop around the same time, since the family garage waspresumably no longer available.Disney spoke in 1956 of grooming Fred Harman as his replacement beforehe left the Film Ad Company ( They brought this young fellow in to takemy place.I had quite a time with him.He didn t know proportions andeverything ).But in Harman s recollection, the two young men went intobusiness together, as Disney and Iwerks had earlier, while they were both stillworking for Verne Cauger.Harman s younger brother Hugh remembered theircollaboration in the same terms. They were determined they were going toquit as employees and become their own Paul Terrys, he said.78 Terry wasan animation pioneer still a young one, only thirty-four, when his weeklyAesop s Fables cartoons began appearing in theaters in June 1921, just a fewmonths before the ostensible Disney-Harman partnership came into being.Hugh Harman, a high school student then, spent afternoons and eveningsat the new Kaycee Studios.As he remembered it, Fred Harman and Disneyset up their first studio this may have been the shop that Disney spoke ofrenting in office space over Kansas City s streetcar barn.They soon movedto at least two other locations, the last in the 3200 block of Troost Avenue.Hugh remembered Fred and Walt working together on a cartoon, probablynever finished, in which an artist s painting came to life on his easel.79Fred Harman wrote many years later that he and Disney  secretly renteda studio, bought a used Universal movie camera and tripod and a second-hand Model T Ford coupe, and tried to shoot film for Pathé News of thefirst American Legion convention, held in Kansas City in October 1921.80 In1932, Harman wrote to Disney himself about that venture:  You can imag-ine the kick I get from seeing your films and news strip [the Mickey Mousecomic strip] and never loose [sic] an opportunity to stretch my suspenderswhen telling some of my friends about you.In fact, I ve told them all of ourventures and never omitting the air flight with Cauger s camera. 81Disney also remembered the  air flight, describing it in 1956.He and Har-man went up together during the legion convention, he said, Harman hold-ing the tripod while Disney operated the camera.The pilot  had a hell of atime because of the two of us in the back there, but Disney was sure he had3 0 the pet i n the fami ly some wonderful shots.He had taken bad advice, though, and his camera set-tings were such that none of his film turned out.Fred Harman, who gained his own measure of fame as the creator of theRed Ryder comic strip, wrote in 1968 that he and Disney  quit our jobs at theFilm Ad Company.We had been working very hard, traveling all aroundthe neighboring towns in Missouri and Kansas signing up movie theaters forfilm ads we hoped to make, but we just couldn t swing it.Our rent was dueand finally the Ford was repossessed. Harman s account is problematic onseveral counts for one thing, Disney probably did not quit his Film Ad jobuntil the spring of 1922 but Roy Disney also spoke about Walt s eªorts tosell his own film ads:  In fact, the old man [Cauger] had a lot of theaterslined up for his slide films and Walt figured,  Well, they re not selling to thistheater over here so I can sell  em over here, so he bought a car, hit these littletowns, little theaters, and tried to sell stuª he made. At that point, Roy said, Cauger sensed he was his competitor as well as his employee.82Whatever its exact form, this was another Disney partnership, like the 1920Iwerks-Disney combination, that was very short-lived, probably lasting nomore than a few months in late 1921.By 1956, Disney had long since souredon partnerships of any kind, except for the one with Roy, and that may ac-count for the way he brushed past his collaboration with Harman.Kaycee Studios last location, as Hugh Harman and Rudolph Ising re-membered it, was on the upper floor of a two-story building at 3239 TroostAvenue, above a restaurant called Peiser s.83  For the most part, Hugh Har-man said,  it was just bare floor just a couple of cubicles partitioned oª fortheir desks. By the time the eighteen-year-old Ising answered a newspaperad for work as an artist there, probably in early 1922, Fred Harman was nolonger involved.As Ising told J.B [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
