The Wizard of Oz Series Episode 1

What happens when you don’t follow the Yellow Brick Road

Brock, Stuart, and Arnie are taking Donors on a magical 100-year journey through The Wizard of Oz cinema, starting with this little-seen silent film from 1925. Did silver screen comedian Larry Semon prove he had straw for brains when he twisted the classic Frank Baum children’s story into a star vehicle for himself as The Scarecrow, and left Dorothy Gale waiting by the side of the road?  And will audiences still give their hearts to Oliver Hardy’s Tin Woodsman after he ditches his pals and joins the court of Prime Minister Kruel?  Donate and find out now!
