The
Wizard
now
became
Master
of
Ceremonies
,
as
Ozma
had
placed
the
conduct
of
the
performance
in
his
hands
.
After
the
people
had
all
congregated
about
the
platform
and
the
royal
party
and
the
visitors
were
seated
in
the
grandstand
,
the
Wizard
skillfully
performed
some
feats
of
juggling
glass
balls
and
lighted
candles
.
He
tossed
a
dozen
or
so
of
them
high
in
the
air
and
caught
them
one
by
one
as
they
came
down
,
without
missing
any
.
Then
he
introduced
the
Scarecrow
,
who
did
a
sword-swallowing
act
that
aroused
much
interest
.
After
this
the
Tin
Woodman
gave
an
exhibition
of
Swinging
the
Axe
,
which
he
made
to
whirl
around
him
so
rapidly
that
the
eye
could
scarcely
follow
the
motion
of
the
gleaming
blade
.
Glinda
the
Sorceress
then
stepped
upon
the
platform
,
and
by
her
magic
made
a
big
tree
grow
in
the
middle
of
the
space
,
made
blossoms
appear
upon
the
tree
,
and
made
the
blossoms
become
delicious
fruit
called
tamornas
,
and
so
great
was
the
quantity
of
fruit
produced
that
when
the
servants
climbed
the
tree
and
tossed
it
down
to
the
crowd
,
there
was
enough
to
satisfy
every
person
present
.
Para
Bruin
,
the
rubber
bear
,
climbed
to
a
limb
of
the
big
tree
,
rolled
himself
into
a
ball
,
and
dropped
to
the
platform
,
whence
he
bounded
up
again
to
the
limb
.
He
repeated
this
bouncing
act
several
times
,
to
the
great
delight
of
all
the
children
present
.
After
he
had
finished
,
and
bowed
,
and
returned
to
his
seat
,
Glinda
waved
her
wand
and
the
tree
disappeared
;
but
its
fruit
still
remained
to
be
eaten
.
The
Good
Witch
of
the
North
amused
the
people
by
transforming
ten
stones
into
ten
birds
,
the
ten
birds
into
ten
lambs
,
and
the
ten
lambs
into
ten
little
girls
,
who
gave
a
pretty
dance
and
were
then
transformed
into
ten
stones
again
,
just
as
they
were
in
the
beginning
.
Johnny
Dooit
next
came
on
the
platform
with
his
tool-chest
,
and
in
a
few
minutes
built
a
great
flying
machine
;
then
put
his
chest
in
the
machine
and
the
whole
thing
flew
away
together
--
Johnny
and
all
--
after
he
had
bid
good-bye
to
those
present
and
thanked
the
Princess
for
her
hospitality
.
The
Wizard
then
announced
the
last
act
of
all
,
which
was
considered
really
wonderful
.
He
had
invented
a
machine
to
blow
huge
soap-bubbles
,
as
big
as
balloons
,
and
this
machine
was
hidden
under
the
platform
so
that
only
the
rim
of
the
big
clay
pipe
to
produce
the
bubbles
showed
above
the
flooring
.
The
tank
of
soapsuds
,
and
the
air-pumps
to
inflate
the
bubbles
,
were
out
of
sight
beneath
,
so
that
when
the
bubbles
began
to
grow
upon
the
floor
of
the
platform
it
really
seemed
like
magic
to
the
people
of
Oz
,
who
knew
nothing
about
even
the
common
soap-bubbles
that
our
children
blow
with
a
penny
clay
pipe
and
a
basin
of
soap-and-water
.
The
Wizard
had
invented
another
thing
.
Usually
,
soap-bubbles
are
frail
and
burst
easily
,
lasting
only
a
few
moments
as
they
float
in
the
air
;
but
the
Wizard
added
a
sort
of
glue
to
his
soapsuds
,
which
made
his
bubbles
tough
;
and
,
as
the
glue
dried
rapidly
when
exposed
to
the
air
,
the
Wizard
's
bubbles
were
strong
enough
to
float
for
hours
without
breaking
.
He
began
by
blowing
--
by
means
of
his
machinery
and
air-pumps
--
several
large
bubbles
which
he
allowed
to
float
upward
into
the
sky
,
where
the
sunshine
fell
upon
them
and
gave
them
iridescent
hues
that
were
most
beautiful
.
This
aroused
much
wonder
and
delight
because
it
was
a
new
amusement
to
every
one
present
--
except
perhaps
Dorothy
and
Button-Bright
,
and
even
they
had
never
seen
such
big
,
strong
bubbles
before
.
