A Kinder, Simpler Time Dept.: Your Movie Columnist

Dec. 27, 1938, Hedda Hopper 

Dec. 27, 1938: “On the ‘Wizard of Oz’ set they've added 50 schoolchildren to the 150 midgets, being sure the kids were the same size. Makes it mighty difficult for Miss MacDonald and her staff of schoolteachers, because the minute a scene is finished they grab the kids for their lessons and nine times out of 10 what they find on their laps is a midget.”
