''The Gray Nun of Belgium'' was a 1915 film announced for release on the Alliance Program by Dramatic Feature Films, Frank Joslyn Baum's short-lived successor to The Oz Film Manufacturing Company. Despite the advertising in ''Motion Picture News'' announcing its release date, Katharine Rogers, in ''L. Frank Baum: Creator of Oz'', believes that Alliance found the film inferior and refused to distribute it. The exhibition copy, which may have been a work print, may have been the only copy ever struck. Baum himself thought that exchanges and exhibitors dismissed the film "rather arbitrarily" based on the Oz Company name.〔Frank Baum, "The Oz Film Co. Was Unable to Turn the Wonderful Oz Books into Profitable Movies." ''Films in Review'', August–September, 1956.〕 In the film, Betty Pierce played a Mother Superior who aided allied soldiers during the Great War. ==References== 〔 *Richard Mills and David L. Greene.
