Seems the Wizard of Oz first premiered on August 12, 1939 at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.

No, the first showing of the Wizard of Oz was in Kenosha one day earlier.

Actor Francis Phillip Wuppermann, who went by the stage name Frank Morgan, attended Cornell University

I'm still failing to see the significance.

Cornell University is where the elite billionaires from Racine go to college, such as the heirs to the SC Johnson fortune who exert extreme influence over Racine. These are the real-life "men behind the curtain".

Paul Ryan is one example of how connections to Racine and Cornell can make someone powerful. Paul Ryan is from Racine and his only real job before becoming Speaker of the House was driving the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile; Oscar Meyer was a member of the Sphinx Head society at Cornell.

That's why Frank Morgan (the real-life Wizard of Oz) went to school at Cornell and why the first showing of the movie was right next to the "real-life" Emerald City.

Hopefully that makes sense but u/TrustTheTruth can explain better than I can how Racine connects to Cornell
