The first International Wizard of Oz Club convention was held there in 1961 and later, the Ozmapolitan conventions until 1967, when Harry crossed the Shifting Sands. This letter is dated November 15, 1955 and is written to Mrs Alla T Ford, who was one of the 16 founding members of the International Wizard of Oz Club, as well as a serious collector and book seller. In Harry's letter, he discusses the possibility of purchasing one of Ford's books (The Musical Fantasies of L Frank Baum). However, "so far, guests have wanted to purchase only "Oz" books", but he goes on to say that perhaps if "we begin to get what my wife calls Oz-Maniacs", he may be interested in Ford's book. Apparently he's unaware at this time that there will be an International Wizard of Oz Club descending upon him the next summer! Harry also discusses various renovations being completed at the Lodge.

The WoggleBug craze swept the country in response to an advertising campaign associated with the publication of The Marvelous Land of Oz in 1904. Newspapers ran a comic called "Queer Visitors From The Marvelous Land of Oz", where the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, the Woggle-Bug, the Sawhorse, Jack Pumpkinhead, and the Gump visit the United States of America. The stories ended with the question "What did the Woggle-Bug say?", and comic Wogglebug pinbacks were produced. In addition, L Frank Baum wrote a 1905 Woggle-bug book and a stageplay called The Woggle-bug that premiered in Milwaukee, WI and aired for a short time in Chicago in 1905.

Second, the earlier Broadway production of The Red Mill featured Stone and David Montgomery as the Tin Woodman. Victor Herbert wrote the original operetta and is also featured on one of the pages.

Hubbard was famous for his non-conventional views and behavior, and these floppy neckties were part of his eclectic persona. According to Roycroft expert Richard Blacher, he purchased the tie from Fred Landis about 40 years ago. Landis, who wrote the Roycroft book "Just a Dog", purchased the tie from "the original auction of the Roycroft Inn, including a ream of original Roycroft hallmarked paper, some of which were used as the limitation pages in On a High Shelf, a Scheidemantel poster, and your tie". Landis told Blacher it was one of Elbert's personal ties (my full email correspondence will be available to the buyer). The tie measures about 54" long x 14.5" wide and is in its original Adam, Meldrum & Anderson (a Buffalo department store) box. It has some fading and a few small holes, indicating it was actually worn.

The book was illustrated throughout in color and B&W by the wonderful Dick Martin. This set of 4 prints from the book were issued as part of the publicity for the book. I've seen them only once or twice before, apparently in very limited distribution in the Chicago area, and this is the first time I've had them to offer for sale.

W. Denslow, illustrator of the original Wonderful Wizard of Oz book. According to the Autumn 1972 Denslow checklist (Baum Bugle), these were created circa 1908-1912, which jives with the 1909 postmark on two of these cards. These are quite hard to find and usually I sell them individually, but decided to sell the complete set. According to Postcard Collector magazine (1992), "The scarcity of these cards was created by the fact that a Teddy Bear stick pin was given away as a premium upon turning in a set of cards. The postcards were destroyed by the merchant as payment for the pin." Offered here are all four postcards shown: '"Is There Anything in It?"; "I'll See", "Why, it's Tedd Bear Bread" and "I'll Buy It!"With beautiful, classic Denslow illustrations and the trademark Denslow hippocampus (seahorse) signature!

Most beautiful, with two amazingly tooled and decorated internal doublures. The stunning leather design were obviously executed by an extremely skilled hand, possibly that of Roycrofter Louis Kinder. Like most Roycroft bindings, alas it is unsigned. The front and back cover have four gilt fuscias in the corners, and both inside doublures (shown in main photo) are decorated with an elaborate lacy gilt pattern on inset purple leather. Simply gorgeous. 5 1/4" x 8 1/4" x 1" thick, 120 numbered pages. The title page is dated 1899, but the book was probably bound slightly later (the ca. 1901 "Roycroft Wares" catalog advertises this book in full levant). Number 92 of a limited edition of 850, with Elbert Hubbard's signed name. Browne died in 1899 so this may have been his last, and likely most beautifully published, book.

Fournier was a Roycroft Art Director and already a trained painter when he came to join the Roycrofters in 1903. He and Elbert Hubbard were close and his painted murals decorate the Roycroft campus today. At least one of these photographs are by Fournier's son Paul, who was a trained photographer. The first two photos are loose and are about 4"x6". One shows Alexis in Venice in 1901, and the other is a more formal portrait that is inscribed "To my friend Mrs Ball from your sincere Alexis Jean Fournier". The other two photos are in Paul Fournier's portfolio which is on nice stock with his studio address in Buffalo stamped on front. The photos in the portfolio are a little larger than 4"x6" and tipped onto a ~ 10x12" sheet. One laid in is stamped Sweet Studios, and I think the signature could be "Sweet", but am not sure. The second photograph is of Elbert Hubbard II (Bert Hubbard} and is signed with Paul Fournier's initial logo.

This cabinet card (boarded photograph) of R C Hastings was photographed by W V Ranger at the Wieting Opera House in Syracuse, NY, with an engraved depiction of the Opera House on the back. Accoring to https://freethought-trail.org/trail-map/location:wieting-opera-house/, The Wieting Opera House was the site of the return engagement of L Frank Baum's musical The Maid of Arran in 1883. The card is undated, but cabinet cards were at peak popularity during the 1880s, so it's likely that Hastings was a contemporary of L Frank Baum. The Weiting burned down twice in 1881 and in 1896; the depiction definitely pre-dates the 1896 construction, but I'm not sure if it is of the pre- or post-1881 fire.

This was a limited edition of 350, and decorated with many small paintings by one of their most talented illuminators, Minnie Gardner. Only a few of each book were bound in full levant, and Roycroft expert Robert Rust thinks it likely that this binding was created by one of their best binders, Louis Kinder. In addition to the full leather cover, the book also boasts tooled internal doublures and elaborately decorated endpapers. The book is 5” by 7 3/4”, 143 pages, with a gilt fern design on the cover which also features raised wrap-around bands on the spine. The On a High Shelf reference book says that these tooled leather Jobs were originally sold for $40.  And while I can't prove it, I suspect Wizard of Oz artist W W Denslow (who guided the illuminators during this period and liked comic art) suggested the baby with frog painting on the title page!

Also, this edition was dramatized by Elizabeth Fuller "Goodspeed" and later copies by Elizabeth Fuller "Chapman", presumably after she married. "By special arrangement with the owner, Mrs. L Frank Baum", and with much legalese on the back of the copyright page about what can and can't be done (no music!), royalties to be paid and such.

What makes this Oz-worthy is the Jan, 1894 issues, which features a extensive article on Denslow on p. 316-317, with a photo of Denslow himself as well as lots of small examples of his art. Of course, this was well before his work with L Frank Baum on the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which makes it even more interesting. The write-up includes the iconic story of Denslow and his friend Charlie Waldron painting advertisements from Wing's Pills on a cow in a pasture.

The one page letter recaps a meeting with Amy where she apparently listened to him "patiently and sympathetically" and then says "but there is one thing about you I do not exactly lie, and that is that you are a handsome woman and still have brains". Also he vents a little about aspiring writers harrassing him: "manuscripts were flashed by wheely cranks at unexpected moments, and women with little things thrown off in an idle hour camped on my trail". Wonderfully personal and clearly written by Hubbard himself, the letter suggests that Hubbard found Amy attractive, at a time when he was still married to Bertha and already had a child with his mistress, Alice.

What makes this one special is that unlike the Guest books made for sale and taken to customer's homes, this book is actually the one from the Chopin room at the Roycroft Inn itself! It is packed full with comments from guests who stayed in the room between 1935 and 1947; based on the number of pages (about 140), I estimate it contains between 200 and 300 individual comments and signatures. I can only show you a small subset. This particular book from the later days of the Inn, well after Elbert Hubbard's death, often express dis-satisfaction with the inn, complaining about the noise, the smells, and even the rats!

This copy with hand-written pencil notes by Thompson related to the Jean Gros marionette show "The Magical Land of Oz" that toured starting in 1928. Thompson wrote the script for the show, and these notes appear to have been written ca. 1927, when the show was first being promoted. Thompson writes "Pittsburgh--Jean Gros--am getting together preliminary press sheet for Oz. Could you write me 10 inch column making fantastic announcement that the marionettes are leaving Oz"? And more, finally asking that the story be sent to a Pittsburgh address.

What makes this copy special is that it has an original pen and ink and watercolor drawing in the front with a funky farmer captioned "Why Robert does not attend Church". At first I thought the drawing might be by Oz illustrator W W Denslow, as it has some elements of his design, the writing looks similar to his, and 1896 was the year he started working with the Roycrofters. However, the face doesn't look like his work and it's unsigned, which would be unlike him. Wish I knew more about this story, as the drawing does look to be by a professional illustrator. But anyway, I've held onto this book for a long time and have decided to let it go to another collector.

Neill illustrated 35 Oz books and also wrote some, yes...he was a prolific artist who illustrated for countless magazines and newspapers enumerated here, but...I learned a lot of new things as well. For example, did you know that Neill used his nieces as stand-ins for Dorothy and Ozma, and he often sketched characters in the nude to get the anatomy correct before filling in the details? Or that he and L. Frank Baum had an on again, off again relationship, with Baum not always approving of his interpretation of his stories? Or that he illustrated not only anonymously, but under several pseudonyms? A classic for Oz fans. A beautifully done tribute to a well-loved man. Issue also contains 2 articles on Harvey T. Dunn and his nude paintings.

The book was issued with 6 Waddle characters that when assembled with the clips, waddled down the Yellow Brick Road. Here is one of them, The Scarecrow, who is original except for a replacement joint and one leg. The waddles were reproduced by Applewood Books in 1993, and I have carefully compared the cardstock and details of this waddle to those, and am sure this is mostly the older, original one. Specific differences include that the original waddles had a matte finish while the reproductions were glossy, the Scarecrow's rear hand has six fingers in the originals and is more like a fist in the reproductions, and there are also small differences in the slots and printing of lines and dots. The original metal clips were brass colored, while they are black plastic in the reproductions, which is why I know that this guy has the replacement joint and leg. I've also handled original waddles before and made this Youtube video comparing that set to the reproductions.

Frank Baum. "The Art of Decorating Show Windows and Interiors", the 3rd edition published in 1906 by The Merchants Records Company. It's pretty amazing the breadth Baum had, writing technical information about raising chickens and decorating show windows while also writing children's books. This lavish 404-page book contains black and white photographs on almost every page. For more information on Baum's many contributions to this book based on his contributions to The Show Window magazine, see The Book Collector's Guide to Baum, p. 175-178. There even is an elaborate window display featuring Father Goose, with Denslow art, pictured on page 338! Large format, 8" by 11". First and second editions of this book are very scarce, and the more available 5th edition retained much less of Baum's work.

Frank Baum. The George M Hill 1st edition plate sheets were purchased by Geo. W. Ogilvie, a Chicago publishing house, following Hill's bankruptcy. This book contains plates from that version of the Wizard, backed with a strange and abridged version of the story by Thos. H Russell which only refers to Dorothy as "The Little Girl". Possibly this was to avoid Denslow having to credit L. Frank Baum as the author, as the two had a falling out over royalties and creative differences by this time. This book undated, but thought to be from about 1903.

The exhibit included huge statues of the Wizard of Oz Scarecrow (Strawman) and Tin Woodman, which are included in the photo. The photo is apparently of a model of the planned exhibit--an "Artist's Conception" by H K Dieg (Delineator) and G H Buckley (Architect). This artist's conception was also used on postcards sold at the fair, and the earliest ones carry the artist's misspelling "Resturant"! The synopsis says that Enhanted Island "intends to open May first, one moth prior to the official opening of the Fair", and also mentions the "straw man" and a twenty feet high Tin Woodman. Also discussed are the Jean Gros Marionettes and theatre, where Oz-related entertainment was held.

Written by "Amber", who was Denslow's mother-in-law for a while.

Based on stories by L Frank Baum, screenplay by Walter Murch and Gill Dennis. it's dated 7th Feb 1984 and I believe this is the actual production script; as there are different color pages inserted with even later 1984 dates. The standard pages are in blue, with pink pages dated 20 Feb '84, yellow pages dated 2 March '84, green pages 25 March '84, and orange pages dated 5.4.84.

The caption is "Main St, Looking south from Roof Garden". The postcard is dated 1916, so later than Baum's time, but I imagine things didn't change much. Thanks to a reader who sent me this link: http://aberdeenareahistory.org/files/original/8e9a8d5c9c79dc07cbe33a75d101db91.pdf, this appears to be taken from the north end of the 200 block, and Baum's Bazaar would have been located on the south end of the 400 block, behind the Hardware store on the right.

What makes this one special is that unlike the Guest books made for sale and taken to customer's homes, this book is actually the one from the Benjamin Franklin room at the Roycroft Inn itself! It is packed full with comments from guests who stayed in the room between 1930 and 1943. Based on the number of pages (about 140), I estimate it contains between 200 and 300 individual comments and signatures. I can only show you a small subset. Most of them express satisfaction with the peace and comfort at the Inn, and some even have written their own poetry.

It pictures a group of stereotyped Chinese children painting a house with "Chi-namel" paint or stain--The House Beautiful.

The image is based on one of the most famous picture books of its time, Denslow's Mother Goose, which spawned many imitators. These cards were originally thought to be drawn by W. W. Denslow, but they are not signed by him, and the images are slightly different from the ones in his book, so they are now thought to be the unauthorized work of a Denslow imitator. The original verses were altered to mention Kindergarten Shoes, and the cards are signed "F. F." A very attractive, colorful and fun to collect set.

Dick Martin illustrated the book which has a beautiful color cover, but this is a high-quality copy of Dick's black and white line art, with the water in the fountain in pencil. It also has "65% to 5x6 1/2" written on the back in Dick's writing, so I'm sure the pencilled-in water is done by Dick as well. This is from David Greene's collection, and he and Dick worked together on a lot of Oz Club projects, so I'm wondering if this is something that was the prototype for a convention card or souvenir. Maybe someone else knows. Nice to see what the original art looked like. Also included is another print of the B&W art for the rear cover of Ozmapolitan of Oz.

With 192 numbered pages, gilt edges, and forty-two B&W illustrations by John Tenniel, the first Alice illustrator. Not your Disney Alice, this! See the numerous photos. Alice had a complicated birth with Carroll (Dodgeson) and Tenniel unhappy with the quality of the first pressing in Oxford in 1865, so those sheets were retracted. The 1866 MacMillan edition is thus generally considered the first British edition and this, the 1869 Lee and Shepard edition the first American edition.

In about 1959, just eleven of the Oz books were issued in special dust jackets designed by Roland Roycraft. These were only in production for a few years before being replaced by the "white cover" editions without dust jackets, which are more common. In the case of The Wizard, the odd Roycraft jacket was in production for even less time before being replaced by a jacket by Dick Martin in 1960. Thus its rarity. The book was written by L Frank Baum and published by Reilly & Lee; this version copyright 1956. Green cloth and red illustrations by Dale Ulrey; jacket lists to Hidden Valley of Oz, as do all the Roycraft jackets. The illustrations by Ulrey are also very nice, with the Wizard in different poses inside the initials at the chapter headings.

Denslow, the talented artist who illustrated the true first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Denslow was already an accomplished poster and book illustrator when he partnered with Baum in the late 1890s. This elaborate pen and ink drawing from the 1884 book "Twenty Years on the Road" is one of his earliest pieces of surviving original art. This humorous scene of a man wooing a young woman and confronted with the father was used as one of the larger illustrations in the book. Shown in one of the photos is the illustrated book page, as obtained from the New York Public Library. The piece is also nice as it shows not only Denslow's fine line art but his method, as the initial drawing is sketched in a faint underlying blue line. It shows that he modified the style of the lettering in his final version. I believe the penciled "Move Effect" and the word "Mortice" (recess to make room for the text) in the top sky are probably in Denslow's own hand. The piece is also signed “W* D *L”—one of the signatures he used during this period (the L probably standing for his partner Charles Lemon). "Reduce 1/2" is also marked in pencil on the bottom, denoting the reduction size for final print. Den was only 28 when he drew this and while fame had not yet caught him, he had already worked successfully in advertising, newspaper and trade card design.

This edition published by Bobbs-Merrill and contains all color plates by W. W. Denslow. This 2nd printing of the 2nd edition was published sometime between the first printing in 1903 and the third printing in 1916, according to the Book Collector's Guide to Baum.

The art originated from his and L Frank Baum's 1899 "Father Goose His Book", but they are postmarked 1906-1908. The art is slightly modified and the cards have no Denslow signature, so are likely used without his permission. Two of the three cards are marked "R. L. Wells" and one is W. M. Beach. These companies used several images from Father Goose and other Denslow's Five Little Pigs for postcards, sometimes changing small details. The rooster originates from "Why?" in "Father Goose; the "copper" is from "Patsy Bedad" in Father Goose; the clown is crudely adapted from the Sun-Bear rhyme. Lot includes all three for one price.

The design was printed by lithographer Baker & Hayes, with whom Denslow did other work (see Spring 2015 Baum Bugle for more info).

Denslow's original work spawned many imitators. The Garman cover redraws the Denslow art with slight alterations--but the main image is preserved, right down to the yellow and red polka dot skirt! The shape book is about 11" tall, patent 1907, copyright 1912 by R. H. Garman, published by Ideal Book Builders (Chicago). I believe this is a 2nd printing, as it has 10 Mar 1914 befow the patent date that was not in a previous version of this book that I had. Also, it has a red cloth strip spine and the colors on the cover are more muted (closer to the original ones in Denslow's Mother Goose, actually). In addition to the goose covers (front and back), there are 8 internal pages, some with attached cutouts that can be flipped to change the images. Very elaborate design. The book is in good plus condition, with a small closed tear base of rear cover, and inner pages detached from stapled binding. The internal page art is in good condition for the most part, with glue repair to one cutout, one edge fold, and one cutout seems to be  missing.

The strip was written by Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum, illustrated by Walt MacDougall, and serialized from August 28, 1904 to February 26, 1905. It tells of Oz characters on a tour of the United States used to publicize The Marvelous Land of Oz book of 1904. These are printed on glossy stock and are slightly smaller than the originals. I believe they were used to print the comics for issues of the Baum Bugle, as they are from the collection of Bugle editor David Greene and have his note on one: "Have we used this yet? No". There are two sizes, 14x19" (Sept 18, Oct 2, Oct 23 1904) and 11x17" (Nov 20, Dec 18, Dec 25 1904).

Denslow, the talented artist who illustrated the true first edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. Denslow was already an accomplished poster and book illustrator when he partnered with Baum in the late 1890s. This pen and ink drawing from the 1884 book "Twenty Years on the Road" is one of his earliest pieces of surviving original art. This charming scene of a traveling salesman leaving his young wife and child was used as the headpiece for the beginning of the book, as shown in the photo that I obtained from the New York Public Library. The piece is also nice as it shows not only Denslow's fine line art but his method, as the initial drawing is sketched in a faint underlying blue line. It shows that he modified the style of the lettering in his final version. "1/3" is marked in pencil on the side, denoting the reduction size for final print. Den was only 28 when he drew this and while fame had not yet caught him, he had already worked successfully in advertising, newspaper and trade card design.

Fred Hamlin, who produced The Wizard of Oz 1902 stageplay, was the son of John A Hamlin, a magician/showman who sold the patent medicine "Hamlin's Wizard Oil". Profits from the "medicine", which contained alcohol, herbs and turpentine, were used to fund Chicago's Grand Opera House (where the Oz musical was first shown). L. Frank Baum worked with Fred Hamlin on the script, although the men didn't always see eye to eye. This is a large card, 4-7/8" x 6 1/2", and in my opinion the most attractive of all the Wizard Oil advertising. The color image shows two men in Arabic dress with a camel loaded with crates of HAMLIN'S WIZARD OIL. The background pyramid in background proclaims that Wizard Oil Cures Rheumatism, Neuralgia and ALL PAIN. The Calvert Litho. Co, Detroit.

Chrome Yellow is a departure from Baum's fantasy stories, about two men in the orange groves of California with a surprise ending. The Bugle says of The Littlest Giant that it is "not one of Baum's best tales, for its humor does not combine successfully with the savagery of the events. But it is imaginative..."

This is an early UK edition published by Chatto & Windus in Picadilly, London (1881). With six illustrations by Wizard of Oz illustrator W W Denslow in chapter 47. The frontispiece,“TITIAN’S MOSES” is a fun poke at fine art, with baby Moses holding a spoon and plate with a frog and crying. According to TwainQuotes.com, "It is a thing which I manufactured by pasting a popular comic picture into the middle of a celebrated Biblical one." Interestingly, this comic image pops up again in one of the Roycroft books from the period that Denslow was guiding the illuminators: http://roycroftbooks.org/book_job_modiano.htm. So, he definitely was aware of this image, but his artistic involvement in Titian's Moses is unclear. (Original engraving itself is by Pannemaker.) Denslow's illustrations in Chapter 47 are signed with his initials W W D (way before his seahorse monogram.) Also many B&W images by other artists--314 illustrations and 561 pages total, including a Chatto & Windus book catalog bound in the rear. Most of the illustrations were dropped in later editions, circa 1899.

This book pre-dates that, since there is no mention of Hubbard or the Roycrofters enterprise which operated from 1895 to 1938. The booklet is printed with many rare photos, including a birds-eye view of the village across the center pages. Seems to be a piece to recruit people and businesses to East Aurora, as there is a real estate stamp on title page. The booklet could have been one of the reasons the young Hubbards moved to East Aurora, as there is a substantial section on one of Elbert's passions, horses.

Stone's career was relatively long and this is from a 1920's play, Criss-Cross, of which the JacksonNupperCo website says: "This might as well be called the second edition of The Stepping Stones, for once again Kern paired with Anne Caldwell to craft a score for a lavishly mounted Dillingham production starring Broadway legend Fred Stone and his daughter Dorothy...The globe-trotting story was little else than a means for shtick and extravagance, but the production was well received and had a nice healthy run."

He published Billy Bounce strips between 1901 and 1902, after which the comic was taken over by another illustrator, C W Kahles. The box has a 1901 tax stamp on the top, so it's possibly the artwork was done by Denslow, but as it is unsigned it could be another illustrator after Denslow as well. The box has Billy Bounce smoking a cigar etched into the top, a side label and inner label with Billy Bounce and his pals Fuzzy White the Bear and the Pieman.

This is an interesting figurine that I was told represents a Wizard of Oz Munchkin woman. The collector/seller said "It was purchased at an Oz convention I think it was in the 80s or 90s. Fred Meyer said there were two like this with pointed hats in different colors. It was part of the Christmas collection of toys at Marshall Fields in Chicago, 1930's. They were also in a display of miniature gardens at a tulip show in Michigan. Other Fields' Oz related toys were a large rag doll of Dorothy, a 26 inch Tinman and a Scarecrow doll. It also featured Mickey Mouse. " The character does look a bit Denslowesque--however, Oz expert Bill Stillman did not believe this story and thought the figurine may actually be Mother Goose.

Moser created 62 woodcut designs for his unique version of The Wizard of Oz, which was hand-printed in five colors and published by The Pennyroyal Press in a limited edition of 350 copies. It was originally published in 1985 and sold for $1,000. Later, in cooperation with Pennyroyal, the University of California Press published a trade edition. From what I can find, this booklet, also published by Pennyroyal Press in 1985, was produced to sell with the limited edition. But, if you have the trade edition, it would be nice to put with that as well. The booklet is 28 pages and describes in Moser's words how he created his iconic figures, some of which are modeled on real people as diverse as Judy Garland and Nancy Reagan.

OK...Believe it or not, Hubbard apparently wrote this in an essay called "Oral Righteousness".

Frank Baum’s love of printing, Oz scholar Michael Riley produces unusual works by L Frank Baum at his own Pamami Press. The earlier Nelebel's Fairyland, published by the Pamami Press in 1978, was the first separate edition of this story written by L. Frank Baum in 1905.  That is now one of the most rare of the Press’s publications because the majority of the edition was bought by a book dealer and never distributed. When Riley was recently offered access to the original typescript of the story (which differs in some respects from the printed versions), he took the opportunity to publish a new and better edition of this charming fairy tale, just as Baum had originally written it.

"My Lily of the Nile--as introduced and featured by Anna Laughlin", who played Dorothy in the musical. Copyright 1902, words by James O'dea and music by Robt. J. Adams, publisher Sol Bloom. The cover has an inset photo of Laughlin in a costume with a striped hat--I can find other images of her in a striped hat in the Wizard of Oz, but not THIS striped hat, so not sure if this is an image from the Wizard of Oz play or not. "Sammy", a known Oz play song, also written by James O'dea, is included on the back--labelled "Grace Kimbell's (sic) big hit in The Wizard of Oz Co." Grace played Trixie Tryfle, another female character in the Oz play, early on, before being replaced by Lotta Faust. One of the lesser known Oz songs, I did find "My Lily of the Nile" mentioned in a Sept 1902 newspaper ad about the play's music.
