July Trivia Question #4

Last chance everyone!  Here comes the last trivia question.

Since it's stage debut in 1904, Peter Pan has kept the child alive in all of us.  From the Disney film in 1953 to the Broadway show starring Mary Martin to Steven Spielberg's Hook, the story has seen many changes. but one tradition remains honored from the debut of the play to the 2003 Peter Pan film.  Two roles are played by the same actor.  Which two roles are they?

July Trivia Contest Answer to Question #3:

It's Monday and the first day of August! However, Monday also means it's time to answer the trivia question from last week!

Here it is: In Frank Baum's novel the Emerald City is called so because of the green-tinted glasses that they are required to wear upon entering the city. They are told to wear them in order to protect their eyes from the dazzling lights of the city. The green tint makes it appear as though the whole city is green, even though not everything is.

Unfortunately, we don't have a winner this week. There will, however, be ONE last question posted later even though it is no longer July. So keep a sharp eye on our blog for your last chance to be our next winner!
