Oringinal artist was Norman Greenbaum, if that helps The Eagles have not recorded this song.
What is the name of the city in the Wizard of Oz?
Nebraska in the book and Kansas in the movie is home to the Wizard in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, the Wizard identifies his home state as Nebraska in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz." But in the beloved 1939 film version, he claims that he comes from Kansas. The latter adjusts the role of the Wizard to that of Professor Marvel in Dorothy's dream sequence.

That she always has had the power to get back home is what Glinda says to Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, Glinda the Good Witch says that one way to get back to Kansas is through the magic slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East. The Witch dies when Dorothy Gale's farmhouse lands on top of her. Dorothy is given the shoes, which she has been wearing throughout all of her adventures in the magical lands of Oz.

Scarecrow, then tinman, then the cowardly lion
What color were the Wicked Witch of the West's stockings?
We don't know what the color was of the Wicked Witch of the West's stockings. There was no information given, either by text or by illustrations, in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz'. Nor was such information part of the beloved 1939 film version.
But the color could be guessed from the stockings that the Wicked Witch of the East wore in the movie. Her stockings were black and white striped. The two witches wore the same color and type of dress and hat, and rode the same color and type of broom. So they might be assumed to wear the same color and kind of stockings.
Who photographed the black-and-white scenes in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
William Wallace Denslow (May 5, 1856 - May 27, 1915) first illustrated "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, the caricaturist/illustrator preferred to be known by his initials instead of his complete first and middle names. He illustrated the first book in the royal histories of Oz series by Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919). He did well on sales of the book since he held the copyright date of 1899 with the author.
Witches are bad. Why? Because they are of the devil. Movies are just movies, most of them that are watched are fiction. Witches can't be good have anyone seen their 'witchcraft' in action before? Trust you would not want to, but if you do there is a very good example on a show called a haunting. Witches can't ever be good ever. Not even if they saved the world. Which I am very sure will never happen.
Witches are fictional so they can be thought either good or bad easily. I can argue that they are bad since in most stories they are but has anyone really known a witch? If you haven't then you really don't have the right to push all of the witches together into one final judge. Just like humans can be either good or bad I'm positive that if witches were real there would be good and bad witches. People who practice the craft , society has named them Witch, they do not believe in a devil. Witch's believe that everything a person does has an energy that stays around that person if you are a person who lives life in a positive way in your thoughts your actions and the way you treat all living beings you will attract positive energy into your life, if you are a negative person that's the energy you will attract and that's what your life will be. Joan of Ark was labeled a witch by the christians because of a power she had that made her a threat to the christens. They burnt her alive, to send fear into any living person who processed any spiritual links, the man Christ had a power, but I give the credit to his mother Miriam [ the christians called her Mary]. Does not a child learn from his mother??
Did Glinda the Good Witch have a sister in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
No, Glinda the Good had no known sister. But this conclusion holds true to the original 1900 book edition, and the beloved 1939 film version, of 'The Wizard of Oz'. With the book now in the public domain, updates and spin-offs are possible.
What are Dorothy Gale's likes and dislikes?
Playing with her pet dog Toto is Dorothy's main interest in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, Dorothy Gale lives on a farm with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Life on the farm isolates Dorothy from other children, and money is tight. Consequently, Dorothy has few options for hobbies and interests.

When Dorothy landed at the Muchkin Country,
Her house landed to the Wicked Witch of the East
Why did Dorothy want to see the wizard?
In the "Wicked Years" series of novels by Gregory Maguire there wasn't any actual reason given as to why The Wizard seized power of Oz. He did come to Oz in search of the Grimmerie which was brought to Oz and hidden by another wizard. My opinion is that he seized power in order to aid his search for the Grimmerie.
Who reveals the true identity of the Wizard of Oz?
Toto reveals the true identity of the Wizard in "The Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, Dorothy Gale's pet dog Toto knocks over a screen in the book and pulls back a curtain in the film. The Wizard is hiding behind the screen in the book and the curtain in the film. He falls to pieces and confesses his scam of changing physical identities in the book and of the disembodied voice in the film.
How many rolls did the actor that played the wizard of oz have in the movie?
There may have been a silent film. Wizard of oz was produced as a stage play in a variety of guises commening about l903 ( it was written as a book in l900). The best known ( Judy Garland et al) film was made in l939. In the late seventies a move remake based on the Broadway show ( The Wiz) with totally different settings and songs and an all-Black cast including Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, and Richard Pryor in the title role as well as Lena Horne, it did well. There was also a film called return to Oz which was believed to be a (TV movie) -It did not make the wide-screen scene. There were a number of fantasy films loosely similar ( babes in Toyland- which had Oz actor Ray Bolger toting a submachine gun!) and Alice in Wonderland, but these lie outsize the scope of the question. P.S. I never cared for Wizard of Oz or any of the variants-there was also a short-lived serial cartoon called World of Oz essentially a comedy thing.
Who represented William Jennings Bryant in wizard of oz?
No, William Jennings Bryan [March 19, 1860--July 26, 1925] didn't have a direct role in 'The Wizard of Oz'. He wasn't listed among the characters in the original 1900 book edition or the beloved 1939 film version. But yes, there are those who assign to the Oz characters symbolic roles that include one for Bryan. For example, some of these interpreters have seen Bryan in the character of the Wizard. But author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919] never identified other than an enjoyable fairy tale adventure role to his book.
Given that he had been dead for over a decade before they made the movie, he was obviously not in it.
Is it possible to be a real wizard?
In the Harry Potter books one is either born a wizard or a muggle, there appears to be no switching between the two.
In Lord of the Rings the Wizards are actually a race separate from that of Men.
Most role-playing games would allow human wizards, and some rulesets allow one to train a character in the ways of magic after he has been created as another class.
In real life you're probably just going to have to use your imagination I'm afraid.
Rajiv Dixit died on November 30, 2010 at the age of 43.
Which character do you like in the novel Wizard of OZ most and why?
The Queen of the Field Mice is the character that I like the most in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."
Specifically, the Queen is beautiful, courageous, kind and intelligent. She is presented with a situation of helping Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto and their three friends the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. She has every reason to fear the group because of the association with the lion. But she decides to trust that the four friends just want her help to rescue the Cowardly Lion from the deadly poppies. Her brave act, based on a kind heart and a native intelligence, make a difference in the lives of five beings that she does not know and most likely never will.

In the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz', there are Kansas and Oz dreamland sequences. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em appear under their real names in the Kansas sequence. Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto appear under their real names in both the Kansas and the Oz dreamland sequences. Glinda the Good Witch appears only in the Oz dreamland sequence.
