The Fairylogue and Radio-Plays (Film), released 1908 — adapted from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum; The Marvelous Land of Oz by L. Frank Baum.
L. Frank Baum would appear in a white suit and present his live actors, slide shows and films as a live travelogue presentation of his popular fantasies. Highlights include Dorothy being swept to Oz in various ways, such as with back-projection tornadoes and storms in a chicken coop. Lack of financial backing forced the show to fold after appearing in only two cities, despite being a critical and commercial success. This film is lost.
Starring L. Frank Baum, Frank Burns, George E. Wilson, Wallace Illington, Bronson Ward Jr..
Directed by Otis Turner.
