Swartz, Mark Evan Oz Before the Rainbow: L. Frank Baum's the Wonderful Wizard of Oz on Stage and Screen to 1939
0801870925 / 9780801870927; Booklist review: "Swartz artfully achieves his purpose of showing 'that the infiltration of the Wizard of Oz story into our cultural bloodstream was not an overnight process' by tracking the influences and popularity of the many stage and screen productions of the story that preceeded the 1939 Judy Garland film. Swartz briefly profiles L. Frank Baum but focuses his spirited account on the variety of those stage and film adaptations. He vividly describes specific performances, compares and contrasts them with others, and shows how each influenced the ones that followed, up the the 1939 movie and beyond to contemporary stage adaptations. Swartz's scholarship is evident in his many citations of primary source material, which, together with the book's profuse illustrations in black & white and color, makes this book irresistible to dedicated Oz buffs." 291 pages with index and works cited. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
