Greetings, My wife and I are Oz collectors and we've heard that
there is a player piano roll that has the music of a play from 1913.
It is called "The Tik-Tok Man of Oz". I recently saw the sheet music
on eBay of "My Wonderful Dream Girl" from the 1913 show "The Tik-Tok
Man of Oz".
If anyone knows who made this roll or knows where I can find one
it would be a great addition to our collection. Thanks

[
[ "1913, Mar. 31 -- The Tik-Tok Man of Oz stage play opens at the
[ Majestic Theater in Los Angeles. This is the produced version of
[ an earlier Baum play, Ozma of Oz (1909). Its musical numbers
[ generate a popular series of song sheets published by Jerome H.
[ Remick & Co., New York/Detroit, and by John Franklin Music Co.,
[ New York. Piano rolls and a record of one song, "Ask the Flowers
[ to Tell You" (released by Victor), also become available."
