Trivia

The film portion of the presentation contained 60 minutes of material based on Wizard, Land and Ozma of Oz, a 20-minute preview of Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz (while William Gillespie and Romola Remus sold books in the lobby), which had not yet been published, and 40 minutes of material on John Dough and the Cherub. In addition, there was approximately one hour of live stage acting (with the actors in the film appearing and interacting with L. Frank Baum) and magic lantern displays.

This film is believed to be lost.

Romola Remus, the very first film Dorothy, was 22 years older than Judy Garland, widely regarded as the definitive Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz (1939). Remus outlived Garland by 18 years, and took part in promotional activity for Return to Oz (1985), whose Dorothy Fairuza Balk was born after Garland's death. Remus appeared in The Whimsical World of Oz (1985) as part of this.

Romola Remus was born in 1900, the year The Wizard of Oz book came out. She was only 8 years old when starring in this film alongside the book's author L. Frank Baum. Nearly all subsequent adaptations have used a much older Dorothy.

"Fairylogue" is a portmanteau word of fairy and travelogue. In the 1900s, news reels of foreign locations were very popular in cinemas. "Radio play" is named for Michel Radio, a fictional French inventor whom the film's author L. Frank Baum credited with inventing a primitive type of colorized film. The term "radio" in its modern meaning was proposed by Alexander Graham Bell in 1881, but did not become widely used until the 1920s. In 1908, most people called it "wireless telegraph," a term which appears in some of Baum's own works.
