Another piece of my childhood.  I am note sure of the date of  these LITTLE WOMEN paper dolls, late 1960's or early 1970's.  Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy and Laurie are ready to play.

LITTLE WOMEN Movie Coloring Contest

January 03, 1934.  "Here are the LITTLE WOMEN, those lovable girls from Louisa M. Alcott's beautiful romance of family life, as seen in the motion picture of the story produced by RKO-Radio.  Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy are comparing the Christmas gifts they have bought for Marmee, one being a bottle of cologne in a wicker jacket.  Left to right they are played by Frances Dee, Katharine Hepburn, Jean Parker and Joan Bennett."  This movie was directed by George Cukor and also starred Paul Lukas, Spring Byington, Edna May Oliver and Douglass Montgomery.  Victor Heerman and Sarah Y. Mason received Oscars for their adaptation of the book.
