<P> Previous to the television series, there was a theater - based Mickey Mouse Club . The first one started on Saturday, January 4, 1930, at 12 noon at the Fox Dome Theater in Ocean Park, California, with sixty theaters hosting clubs by March 31 . The Club released its first issue of the Official Bulletin of the Mickey Mouse Club on April 15, 1930 . By 1932, the Club had 1 million members, and in 1933 its first British club opened at Darlington's Arcade Cinema . In 1935, Disney began to phase out the club . </P> <P> The Mickey Mouse Club was Walt Disney's second venture into producing a television series, the first being the Walt Disney anthology television series, initially titled Disneyland . Disney used both shows to help finance and promote the building of the Disneyland theme park . Being busy with these projects and others, Disney turned The Mickey Mouse Club over to Bill Walsh to create and develop the format, initially aided by Hal Adelquist . </P> <P> The result was a variety show for children, with such regular features as a newsreel, a cartoon, and a serial, as well as music, talent and comedy segments . One unique feature of the show was the Mouseketeer Roll Call, in which many (but not all) of that day's line - up of regular performers would introduce themselves by name to the television audience . In the serials, teens faced challenges in everyday situations, often overcome by their common sense or through recourse to the advice of respected elders . Mickey Mouse himself appeared in every show not only in vintage cartoons originally made for theatrical release but in opening, interstitial and closing segments made especially for the show . In both the vintage cartoons and in the new animated segments, Mickey was voiced by his creator Walt Disney . (Disney had previously voiced the character theatrically from 1928 to 1947, and then was replaced by sound effects artist Jimmy MacDonald .) </P> <P> Mickey Mouse Club was hosted by Jimmie Dodd, a songwriter and the Head Mouseketeer, who provided leadership both on and off screen . In addition to his other contributions, he often provided short segments encouraging young viewers to make the right moral choices . These little homilies became known as "Doddisms". Roy Williams, a staff artist at Disney, also appeared in the show as the Big Mouseketeer . Roy suggested the Mickey and Minnie Mouse ears worn by the cast members, which he helped create, along with Chuck Keehne, Hal Adelquist, and Bill Walsh . </P>
