His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz
His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz is a 1914 American silent fantasy adventure film directed by J. Farrell MacDonald and written and produced by L. Frank Baum.
It stars Violet MacMillan, Frank Moore, Vivian Reed, Todd Wright, Pierre Couderc, Raymond Russell, and Fred Woodward.
The film had a troubled distribution history; it opened on October 14, 1914, to little success, though it was received as well above average fare by critics of the time.
Early in 1915, it was reissued under the title The New Wizard of Oz and was slightly more successful.
The film is loosely based on Baum's book "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", but in the screenplay Baum introduced many new characters and a large new story that later became the basis for the 1915 book "The Scarecrow of Oz".
Similar to "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", the Scarecrow's origin is revealed, although his life is now attributed to "the Spirit of the Corn", who appears as a conventional Hollywood depiction of a Native American.
The Tin Woodman is found rusted stiff and oiled, but he is already Emperor of the Winkies.
Dorothy is a slave to Mombi (Wells) who looks like W.W. Denslow's depiction of the Wicked Witch of the West.
The Cowardly Lion is encountered only briefly, and battles The Lonesome Zoop, a character who appears in all three films.
All of the animal roles are attributed to Fred Woodward, though too many appear in the same shot at once for him to have played them all.

The Navajo Boy
The Navajo Boy( 1950s) was a silent film that portrayed the Cly family on the Navajo Nation in Monument Valley, Utah.
The director, Robert J. Kennedy, narrated the film live at each showing.
In addition, he provided little written information about the context or the identities of the Navajo people featured in the film.
( The original spelling of the film is" The Navaho Boy", as was customary at the time.)
He featured Happy and Willie Cly.
Happy Cly is considered to be the most photographed Native American person in the United States.
Their nephew Jimmy Cly was the" Navajo Boy" for whom the original film was named.
At the turn of the twenty- first century, the director's son Bill Kennedy, a film producer, decided he wanted to revisit the Cly family for a documentary about their lives.
But he wanted to involve them and the Navajo people in the production and let them speak for themselves.
He produced the documentary," The Return of Navajo Boy"( 2000).
The Navajo believed the earlier film had treated them as voiceless stereotypes, and they wanted to express their own story.
They especially wanted to tell of the health damage and deaths in countless families due to the uranium mining on the reservation, which was unregulated for decades.
