1949 Snow White London Stage Show - Postcards

A couple of Snow White postcards from director Harry Benet's stage production of Walt Disney's story. The small print on this first one also reads, "Presented by Teneb Productions Ltd."



"Guaranteed Real Photograph--Printed in England."




A different Snow White actress is pictured in this second card.




The 1949 London performances took place at the Victoria Palace. See the theatre poster in the previous post.

  1. The actress in the top postcard is Joan Davies. The lower postcard it's Betty Shaw. I own programmes from both productions, and an autographed photo of Ms. Shaw from the same time.

    Not much is known about the two actresses. There is a chance that Joan Davies appeared in the 1987 New Sadler's Wells' production of Gilbert And Sullivan's "Ruddigore". An actress with the same name is listed as playing "Dame Hannah", but I cannot confirm if it's the same one that played SW.
