One is The Theatre Aug 1902 on archivedotorg and the other is Philharmonic Aug 1902 on googlebooks. Both magazines show John Slavin as the Wizard. In one pic he actually looks like a wizard and the other pic he is dressed in the kilt outfit like we see in the famous poster. <br />Also, I would assume that any photos that say Windeatt would be from the original Chicago production.<br />Sadly, Anna Laughlin committed suicide in 1937.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335797539872142376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-16040765058572822192009-11-30T22:37:01.626-06:002009-11-30T22:37:01.626-06:00You're probably right - it just seemed like th...You're probably right - it just seemed like the photos would be such a nice fit! I don't know for certain whether they're even from the Castle Square production, but they are fun to see.Bill Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258626254481978155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342561433004208609.post-63282340350581933192009-11-30T17:48:11.376-06:002009-11-30T17:48:11.376-06:00I think I remember someone (maybe David Maxine, bu...I think I remember someone (maybe David Maxine, but I'm not sure) saying that the song "Fraidy Cat" really didn't have anything to do with the Lion, despite the fact that you'd think the connection would be obvious.Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17838510995365876113noreply@blogger.com
