The Wizard of Oz Collection for Silent Cinema Sunday

So I choose the Wizard of Oz Collection for Silent Cinema Sunday today.  I've been waiting to have a block of time so that I could watch all of them together and today was a quiet morning.
They really weren't that bad.  I'm not picky though.  Keep that in mind!!  I manage to enjoy myself no matter what I'm doing! Sometimes, just the act of doing something is enjoyable for me.  It's a nice place to be.
Cool things I learned about these movies and the actors:
Mildred Harris is in two of them: His Majesty, The Scarecrow of Oz and The Magic Cloak of Oz.  She was Charlie Chaplin's first wife.  Many suspect that she cheated on him with Alla Nazimova(I love Nazimova.  I can't help it).  She ended up dying young(42) of pneumonia following abdominal surgery.
Oliver Hardy, or Ollie to those of us that love him, was in The Wizard of Oz as The Tin Man.
In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy(played by Dorothy Dwan) and The Scarecrow(played by Larry Semon) were married in real life.Many people believed that Larry Semon faked is own death.  It's since been proved false cause they finally found a death certificate.  Bummer.
Harold Lloyd and Hal Roach both have teeny tiny uncredited rolls in The Patchwork Girl of Oz.
The Patchwork Girl was actually a man.  A French man.  Named Pierre.
Juanita Hansen who played Queen Zixi in The Magic Cloak of Oz, ended up getting burned by scalding water in a New York hotel.  She won a settlement from the incident and took a break from films.  She also had a terrible cocaine addiction that helped to ruin her career.  She went on to campaign for drug treatment and founded the Juanita Hansen Foundation to raise awareness about the dangers of drugs.  She also got herself tangled up in Evelyn Nesbit's divorce from Jack Clifford.  Evelyn was The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing.
Josef Swickard, who played Prime Minister Kruel in The Wizard of Oz, was married to Margaret Campbell. She was raped and murdered by their son.  Swickard died seven months after his wife of natural causes. It's rumored that he jumped off the Hollywood sign like Peg Entwistle.  False.  Bummer. 
It seems no one(but maybe me) liked any of these movies.  Ever.  They came out to terrible reviews and terrible attendance.  Wonder why they kept making them?  Me too.
Love,
