Come join us for our monthly Movie Night! There's so much information we want to share with you, that we thought this would be a great way to get the word out. Seating is limited, so do RSVP so we know how many to expect. Movie: THE SECRET OF OZ WhatÂÂ's the Movie About? It is well known in economics academia that The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum in 1900 is loaded with powerful symbols of monetary reform which were the core of the Populist movement and the 1896 and 1900 president bid of Democrat William Jennings Bryan. The yellow brick road (gold standard), the emerald city of Oz (greenback money), even DorothyÂÂ's silver slippers (changed to ruby slippers for the movie version) were the symbol of BaumÂÂ's and BryanÂÂ's belief that adding silver coinage to gold would provide much needed money to a depression-strapped, 1890s America. The producers believe BaumÂÂ's symbols represent the only solution to relieve the growing economic hardship here in America ÂÂ- and the rest of the world. Practically speaking, 2009 marks the 70th anniversary of the 1939 MGM release of the The Wizard of Oz movie, so interest will be very high. Even Oz websites put up by kids get millions of hits.
