Cephale et l'Aurore, Francois Boucher, 1764

The Wizard of Oz is a 1925 American silent fantasy-adventure comedy film directed by Larry Semon, who has the lead role of a Kansas farmhand disguised as the Scarecrow.

This production, which is the only completed 1920s adaptation of L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, stars Dorothy Dwan as Dorothy, Oliver Hardy as the Tin Woodman, and Curtis McHenry briefly disguised as a less "cowardly" Lion than in the 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer version of Baum's work, The Wizard of Oz.

In the film, Dorothy Gale (Dorothy Dwan), a Kansas farm girl, is told about her Uncle Henry (Frank Alexander) not being her uncle after all. Suddenly, a tornado blows into Kansas and whisks the farmhands and Dorothy to Oz, where Dorothy is discovered as Princess Dorothea by Prime Minister Kruel (Josef Swickard). The farmhands are disguised as a scarecrow, a tin man and lion. READ MORE AT: The Wizard of Oz (1925 film) - Wikipedia
