Frank Baum’s widow] the sole and exclusive right…to exploit and use said work and the characters thereof for commercial purposes of any and all kinds…Licensee desires to manufacture, process and distribute children’s skirts and suits…which will represent characters in the said work,” under a commercial tie up with the Wizard of Oz. Contract states Loew’s will receive “4 1/2 % of the selling price of all quantities of said skirts and suits and an amount equal to 1/2% of the selling price of said skirts and suits to Judy Garland, a minor, and her mother., Mrs. Ethel M.
