”Somewhere Over the Rainbow” lyrics handwritten and signed by the lyricist E.Y. Harburg, who wrote them for Judy Garland in ”The Wizard of Oz.” Harburg, in fact, wrote lyrics for all of the songs in the revered 1939 MGM film, and won an Oscar for his work on the music of the film that year. Lyrics from the last stanza of the song are written in Harburg’s hand in black ink and read: ”If any little bird can fly / Beyond the rainbow / Why — Oh why can’t I? / E.Y. Harburg”. Card measures 8.5” x 5” and is elegantly matted and framed to an overall size of 13” x 9.25”. Fine condition. With a COA from PSA/DNA. Sold for $1,597.
Hundreds of orchestral arrangements owned by Judy Garland, including her classics such as ”Over the Rainbow”, ”Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, ”Judy at the Palace”, ”I’m Always Chasing Rainbows” and more. Arrangements were primarily used by Garland for ”The Judy Garland Show” in 1963-64, and also for other performances such as Judy’s show at the Palace, where the trunk containing the documents was left. Large black trunk is stamped ”JUDY GARLAND” on the outside, left by Garland at the Plaza Hotel in the late 1960s, and then subsequently given to Costas Omero, the director and producer of the Plaza show ”Look Me Up”. Interestingly, the history of the trunk is alluded to in the 2019 film ”Judy”, when an employee of a hotel, ostensibly the Plaza, informs Garland that they are putting her items in storage as a result of non-payment. Arrangements for the nearly 50 songs are housed in folders stamped with various notes, most indicating they were used in her CBS show. The folder containing the arrangements for ”Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, for example, is stamped in green ”Judy Garland Show 15”, which was the Christmas Special airing on 6 December 1963. Many of the individual arrangements are also similarly stamped, and some of the ones for ”Over the Rainbow” are stamped in black ”Judy Garland”. Although most of the arrangements are for individual instruments, some are for the entire orchestra. Some expected wear to trunk, but overall in very good condition. Complete list of songs is included. With LOA from Costas Omero’s daughter. Sold for $30,559.
Tony award won by the beloved actor and music man, Ray Bolger for his 1948 Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for ”Where’s Charley?”. Famous for his portrayal of the Scarecrow in ”The Wizard of Oz”, Bolger was also an accomplished theatre performer, especially well-known for the song ”Once In Love With Amy”, which he sang in this production of ”Where’s Charley?”. This very early Tony award is from the 3rd annual event, held on 24 April 1949, when the design of the Tony award medallion was first introduced, showing the comedy and tragedy masks on the front, and a profile portrait of Antoinette Perry in relief on the reverse. Sterling silver medallion reads, ”The American Theatre Wing Presents to Ray Bolger This Award for His Performance in Where’s Charley 1948-49”. Measures 3” in diameter, with STERLING mark on rim. Housed in its custom box measuring 6.25” square. Some tarnishing, else near fine. With an LOA from Ray Bolger’s niece. Sold for $19,490.

First Edition “Wizard of Oz” 1900 Rare Book
First edition, first issue of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by W.W. Denslow. Chicago: George Hill Company: 1900. Clothbound octavo rare book runs 261pp. and bears green and red pictorial on front and rear cover of Dorothy and her companions and 24 color plates by W.W. Denslow. Widely considered the most well-known book of American children’s literature, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” follows the adventures of a young girl named Dorothy as she is catapulted from her Kansas home into the Land of Oz. Accompanied by the Cowardly Lion, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman, Dorothy is met with the beauty and mysteries of Oz. Translated into more than forty different languages, “The Wizard of Oz” has become a sensation all over the world, where translators often slightly adapt the story to fit into the context of local culture. It is believed that Baum’s Land of Oz was inspired by a building in Castle Park close to a city in Michigan where Baum spent his summers. The seventh of nine children in a devout Methodist family with a German father and Scots-Irish mother, Baum was born in Chittenango, New York in 1856. Frank was only one of five children in his family who survived to adulthood. After a failed attempt at creating a newspaper, and writing a few moderately successful children’s books, Baum published “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” with his illustrator Denslow. Baum soon wrote thirteen sequels, and eventually wrote an array of other works including 132 novels and short stories and 200 poems. Mostly known as a political illustrator, Denslow was born in Philadelphia but eventually moved to Chicago, where he met Baum and they began their work together. Denslow illustrated many of Baum’s books and shared the copyrights to all of them. Their relationship soured in 1902 when Denslow made demands concerning royalty shares on the stage adaptation of “The Wizard of Oz.” Baum decided not to work with Denslow again. With copious royalties from the many versions of “The Wizard of Oz,” Denslow managed to purchase an island near the coast of Bermuda and crowned himself King Denslow I before drinking through his fortune. In May of 1915 Denslow died in obscurity. Text points present in volume implying first issue: publisher’s advertisements are enclosed in a box on page 2, page 14 reads “low wail on…” Page 81 bears the typographical error “peices,” the first sentence of page 227 reads “While Tin Woodman,” and the colophon on rear pastedown runs eleven lines. Plate points in volume implying first issue: the man in the moon on plate between pages 34 and 35 entitled “You must be a great sorceress” bears two dark circles, and another plate entitled “The Stork carried him up into the air” between pages 92 and 93 has a red horizon. Contains pictorial pastedowns, with blank opposite flyleaves. Title plate has copyright stamp on verso. The volume has been re-cased with a “C” issue, in which the spine is stamped with the publisher’s name in red with the “C” encircling the “o” of “Co.” Minor soiling to boards and slight wear to edges. Some separation at joints, binding somewhat loose. Previous owner’s ink and pencil inscription to front flyleaf. Overall a superior first edition of one of America’s favorite children’s stories. Sold for $8,275.
L. Frank Baum Signed and Dedicated “Wonderful Wizard of Oz” — With Scarce Poem Handwritten by Baum — “…Mosquitoes charm me / They cannot harm me / For I am Mr. Dooley-ooley-oo!…”
“The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by W.W. Denslow. Chicago: George Hill Company: 1900. First edition, second state, signed by the author. Baum inscribes on the author list leaf: “‘Twas Mr Dooley dear Mr Dooley, / He said: ‘I’ll live and die in Waukazoo / Mosquitoes charm me / They cannot harm me / For I am Mr. Dooley-ooley-oo! / August 17th / 1902 / L. Frank Baum.” The book is in the second state, and in binding variant C. Included in the lot is a letter of provenance from the granddaughter of the original recipient Dorothy Lake. It explains that her grandmother was 11 years old in 1902 and went on a holiday every summer to Waukazoo on the shores of Lake Michigan. Baum was reportedly charmed by Miss Lake and by the coincidence of meeting a real Dorothy in the same resort area in which he wrote portions of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” Original pictorial cloth stamped in red and green. Leaf with inscription is browned and a little chipped at edges and with a 2-inch closed tear through “A” of “August.” Plates and text leaves frayed with some extremity loss. With 22 color plates, missing the two facing pages 80 and 254. Volume has been rebacked with original spine laid down, to an attractive condition though boards still remain heavily soiled. Presentation copies of Baum’s masterpiece are very scarce on the market, and verse inscriptions particularly so; this is perhaps the only verse inscription available. Recently sold for $18,300 as lot 3292 in Bonhams 23 June 2010 sale. Sold for $7,650.
