Alice in Wonderland Young, 1915)

Alice in Wonderland is a 1915 American silent film adaptation of Lewis Carroll s classic 1865 novel, Alice s Adventures in Wonderland, directed and written by W. W. Young and starring Viola Savoy as Alice. 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 backsomersault at the front door. The film was the first Alice film to combine the chapters from Through the LookingGlass with those of Alices Adventures in Wonderland. However, most of the lookingglass portion is lost.
