| Brief Description: | Novelist Frank Baum produced The Patchwork Girl (1914). It's a film
about a journey to Oz in search of an antidote for a spell that turns
innocent bystanders to stone. Hal Roach is featured as the cowardly
lion while a young Frenchman plays the girl of the title. In A Florida
Enchantment (1914), magic transforms men into women and women into
men, resulting in a film that has an interesting modern edge, even
though it was vilified in its time. From the Origins of American Films
series, a joint project of the Library of Congress and Smithsonian |
