"Tli Wi~aird of O~' has been declared as the most watched movies of all time and "The Munchkins" are among that classic film's most iconic characters The American Film Institute named "The Wizard of Oz" as one of the best films ever made and the third best musical ever, The line "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore" is the American Film Institute's number 4 quote, and 'There's no place like home" is ranked as number 23, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is ranked as their number 1 song of all time. Recognized the world over, there are few people anywhere on the planet that don't know the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch and of course, the famous Munchkins! The surviving Munchkins have each had fascinating lives in and of themselves Among those still around are the original Lollipop Kid who handed the large all-day sucker to Dorothy and still sings, "We Represent the Lollipop Guild". His new book "Short & Sweet" just came out Another played four different characters, including the first trumpeter, a soldier, a sleepy headed child in the nest, and the citizen who started the anthem "We're Off to See the Wizard" and still sings a great rendition complete with tra-Ia-Ias Another still tap dances up a tornado along with the Coroner who still pronounces the Wicked Witch "not only merely dead, but really most sincerely dead". His recent book is already in its third printing and he has recently been on Jimmy Kimmel and CNN, Inducting the Munchkins with a star would be a wonderful, nostalgic, family oriented, heart-warming event for all ages and we believe they embody all that is great about Hollywood; you just can't get more classic Hollywood the "The Wizard of Oz". JERRY MAREN was just eighteen when he got a telegram from Loew's Incorporated requesting his talents for "The Wizard of Oz". It guaranteed six weeks' employment, transportation, food--"the works," he says. Born on January 24, 1920, in Boston, Massachusetts, Maren was originally named Gerard Marenghi, the youngest of eleven children, He took dancing lessons when he was young and aspired to be an entertainer, appearing locally in an act called "Three Steps and One Half." In November 1938, standing just three foot four, he met up with the Oz-bound group of little people in New York City and traveled by bus to California. "I don't remember much about the bus trip, except that is was long. There was a bus full of us and we all became friends. It was an experience because I'd never been around V~II..I",tho.. 11..1I..lìHlc. ..e",.lo l- ut'i.. he'nro lJ IV..1.;V con I I...Ic.ar'no.rl ......... ~ ll"lIV". \/\lo',. vv.... c-la'i ùl 1 ".in .."'.."'ifForonl ..,.. ..itio.e:..,,,.... ~nrl ..,'.. tho\/'rl u,..:J.. stiiff ..." SP\/ør~1 ........, of us little ones in a room together and we'd leave again early the next morning and the driver would travel as much as possible," he says. There, at MGM, because of his dancing abilities, he was chosen to be the middle "tough guy" of the Lollipop Guild who hands Dorothy the over- sized sucker, "I remember they had a monstrous crew on the set," Jerry says, "A man who wore tall boots would go into the pond and fix the lilies and then walk out, and the other crew members would mop up the water. When we had time, we used to sneak off and try to watch the other movies being made. We ran into everybody. i snuck over to watch 'Lady of the Tropics' with Hedy Lamarr." "The Wizard of Oz" was the first of many movies Jerry made, After Oz he went directly in a few "Our Gang" comedies and a featured role in "At the Circus" (1939), starring the Marx Brothers. (It's the one where Groucho sings "Lydia the Tattooed Lady"!) Jerry was permanently transplanted to southern California from that moment on, Maren has worked steadily in films ever since, on camera and behind the scenes as a stunt double or as a costumed character. In the late 1950's Jerry was persuaded to undergo hormonal treatments to increase his height. He worked with endocrinologists at California's Scripps Clinic who tested out some new growth hormone injections. "I started dreaming how great sports and things would be for me if I were taller," he says, but he grew only a few inches.

Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • The Good, the Bad, the Wicked: Lessons from Oz”
    “The Good, The Bad, The Wicked: Lessons from Oz” by Dr. Brian Howell Assistant Professor of Anthropology , Wheaton College What could be a more unambiguous, self-identified portrait of evil than a green faced Witch surrounded by creepy flying monkeys? Her very name, the Wicked Witch of the West, sets the tone pretty clearly. She’s Bad; Glinda is Good; the wizard is a bumbler but a well-intentioned guy and Dorothy is haplessly caught in the middle. But the hottest ticket on Broadway says, “Not so fast.” Perhaps having a green face and wearing unfashionable black hats is not enough to make you Wicked. In fact, perhaps “goodness” and “wickedness” are not such clear-cut categories at all. In a musical “prequel” to the film “The Wizard of Oz,” the audience is challenged to re-evaluate the judgements of good and evil, tapping into the powerful cultural theme of authenticity at the same time. The Broadway musical “Wicked” is based on a book of the same name that tells the story of Elphaba (nee The Wicked Witch of the West) and her early history in the land of Oz. Born an unnatural shade of green due to the dalliances of her mother, Elphaba is misunderstood and ostracized, particularly when enrolling in a boarding school for aspiring Witches and Wizards (Shiz Academy). There she finds herself rooming with Galinda (later to become Glinda, The Good Witch), who inspires her to travel to the Emerald City in order to meet the Wizard. Elphaba, you see, has true magical gifts, and her only dream has been to meet and work with the Wizard, the Great and Powerful Oz.

EPISODE TWO 15 PREVIOUSLY Recap of the previous episode. 16 EXT. CLEARING The Sawhorse runs rampant, while Tip and Jack Pumpkinhead attempt to catch it and calm it down. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Whoah! Whoah! TIP (V.O.) Taming the Sawhorse now it was alive was proving ... tricky. When Jack came to life, he was full of questions and kinda stupid, but he was fairly calm, all things considered. The Sawhorse was frightened. And a little bit insane. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Calm down horsey! TIP Whoah, horse. Easy there boy -- look out Jack, it's coming through! JACK PUMPKINHEAD Whoooah! He leaps out of the way as the horse bounds past him. TIP Come on, there's nothing to be scared of. JACK PUMPKINHEAD I'm scared! TIP Nothing for the Sawhorse to be scared of. (to Sawhorse) We're your friends we're not going to hurt -- ahhh! He jumps aside as it rushes through. 45. JACK PUMPKINHEAD At least it's knocking you over as well as me, Dad. TIP I don't understand, why won't it listen to us? JACK PUMPKINHEAD Maybe it can't listen to us? TIP Oh? Oh, of course, that's it! Jack, find me some leaves or something. (he starts rummaging in the undergrowth) Big ones, about the size of my hand. We need two. JACK PUMPKINHEAD Why? TIP (finding leaves) Here we are, perfect. Ears, Jack! The Sawhorse doesn't have ears! JACK PUMPKINHEAD That's why he isn't listening! TIP We just need to fasten these on to his head and sprinkle a little more powder on.

  • Gen. Jinjur's Army of Revolt Tip Was So Anxious to Rejoin His Man
    Gen. Jinjur's Army of Revolt Tip was so anxious to rejoin his man Jack and the Saw-Horse that he walked a full half the distance to the Emerald City without stopping to rest. Then he discovered that he was hungry and the crackers and cheese he had provided for the Journey had all been eaten. While wondering what he should do in this emergency he came upon a girl sitting by the roadside. She wore a costume that struck the boy as being remarkably brilliant: her silken waist being of emerald green and her skirt of four distinct colors--blue in front, yellow at the left side, red at the back and purple at the right side. Fastening the waist in front were four buttons--the top one blue, the next yellow, a third red and the last purple. The splendor of this dress was almost barbaric; so Tip was fully justified in staring at the gown for some moments before his eyes were attracted by the pretty face above it. Yes, the face was pretty enough, he decided; but it wore an expression of discontent coupled to a shade of defiance or audacity. While the boy stared the girl looked upon him calmly. A lunch basket stood beside her, and she held a dainty sandwich in one hand and a hard-boiled egg in the other, eating with an evident appetite that aroused Tip's sympathy. 62 He was just about to ask a share of the luncheon when the girl stood up and brushed the crumbs from her lap.
