Wikipedia article
'Violet's Dreams' was a series of short films written and produced by L.Frank Baum with The Oz Film Manufacturing Company in 1915 and starring Violet MacMillan. The films are not known to survive. Each film depicted MacMillan entering a different fantasy scenario, which, uncharacteristically for Baum, in spite of 'The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)', turned out to be a dream.

Re-edit
In 1917, the films were purchased and reassembled as 'Like Babes in the Woods' by George Cochrane from a new scenario by Karl R. Coolidge. The film should not be confused with 'The Babes in the Woods' (also 1917), an adaptation of "Hansel and Gretel" by Chester Franklin and Sidney Franklin, released the same year.
