"The Wizard of Oz premiered on this day in 1939."

Living in Coral Gables, Florida then, my two older sisters took me with them to see the first showing in downtown Miami, at the Olympia Theater!
I was 5 years old and remember it vividly.

Oh Sistah, another point of parallel lives. I was 5 when I saw it. I was almost 6, but I recall it so vividly because it was the very first moving picture that I ever saw. Can you imagine a little country girl who rarely went to "town" and having no knowlege about movies, sitting in a theater and watching the Wizard of Oz? I was enthralled and terrified all at the same time. I saw it in Fayetteville, Tenn.
