The Fairylogue and Radio-Plays
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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Baum constructs an early immersive multimedia experience, relying on his literary universe and blending live performance, slides, and pioneering film effects like rear-projection. It was a theatrical event as much as a cinematic one.
What lingers after learning of this lost artifact is a sense of wonder at the bold, experimental spirit of early storytellers and a poignant reminder of how much history has vanished. — MovieFinder Editorial
