Description by Oldies.com:
In 1914 L. Frank Baum, author of the original fifteen Wizard Of Oz books (written
between 1900 and 1920), formed The Oz Film Manufacturing Company to produce live-
action motion pictures based on his beloved fantasies. With striking visual effects,
including ingeniously charming life-size creature puppets, underwater voyages and flights
into the air, the Baum Oz films are filled with a bizarre whimsy reminiscent of Lewis
Carroll and an audacious fantasy spectacle all their own.

- The Patchwork Girl Of Oz (1914, 65 minutes): The first and perhaps best of
Baum's Oz movies follows the adventures of Ojo and his Unc Nunke as they seek
a better life. The duo meets Dr. Pipt and Margolotte who conjure to create "the
patchwork girl" made out of rags. Intending for her to be the perfect servant, they
are surprised when "the Patchwork girl" asserts a will of her own and embarks on
a fantastic adventure.
