Thank you. I *knew* there was an echo there stronger than that of "naughty
or nice" from "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," but (d'oh) couldn't say what
it was.
 
Atre those words specific to the 1925 movie (which I haven't seen), rather
than the 1900 book or 1939 musical movie? (There's  probably a
dissertation's worth of Oz riffs in TRP.)
