Larry Semon,
The Wizard of Oz
(1925)
“ Kruel's actions were arousing the townsfolk of Oz. In all of Oz there was none more loved than Prince Kynd. –Bryant Washburn "As spokesman for my people, we demand the return of our rightful queen." "What will we do?" "What about the Wizard?" "Wait! If the queen is to be found, let us call on the Wizard, he can do anything!" The Wizard was just a medicine-show hokum hustler, but he fitted in nicely as the Prime Minister's "yes-man." –Charles Murray "I must have time to think—go thru the audience and distract them." ”
