Walt Disney speaking from the stage of the Uptown Theatre during his July 4, 1956 visit to Marceline. Disney stands at a microphone in front of the theatre’s projection screen, addressing an audience made up largely of children seated in the auditorium. Photographers and onlookers are visible near the front of the stage, documenting the appearance. A Downing Super Market clock is easy to see at the upper-left side of the photo.
