A year went by. Roy finished high school and left home as his older
brothers had done.
I wish I could
go with you,
Roy.
Me too, kid, but
you’ve got to
finish school.
Walt continued going to school
and delivering papers. And on
Saturdays he went to art classes
at the Kansas City Art Institute.
Very good,
Walt!
Sometimes in the evening, Elias Disney let his
son go to the movies with a friend whose father
owned a theater.
The movies they saw were silent. The actors
would move their lips to speak, and the
audience could read what they were saying at
the bottom of the screen.
Walt used some of
the jokes he saw in
the movies to put
together an act for
the local amateur
shows.
