Original Gone With the Wind Program


This is an original Gone With The Wind program I recently purchased. These were sold at Theaters for 25 cents.

My grandmother was a member of the Junior League of Atlanta and was at the Junior League Ball. She told me that she stood in line and greeted the actors. Below is a picture of what it was like.



The following is a complete look at the pages of the program.




















A historical foot note. Back of the program on the bottom right features Alicia Rhett. She was from Savannah, Georgia. Below is another version showing Hattie McDaniel as Mammy. She was the first black woman to receive an Oscar for her performance. You may ask why two versions? Well the one above was for Southern Audiences and the one below was for Northern Audiences.
