most impressive things was to watch the lights come od from the Ad- ministration Building. And I liked especially the Flanitarium, where one could see the world go round. The Fuir showed as much knowledge as it would be possible to acquire in a whole college education. We , the people : Then you really enjoyed the Fair? Mr. Mahoney: I certainly did, and we had four children to help us enjoy it. Miss Deirdre McMullan Wonder why Miss McMullan has been standing over there for so long? Puzzled: What ' s so engrossing? Miss McMullan: This double key board piano on which both boards are played at once. The woman playing it now is the only American who has studied it. I ' ve been here looking and listening most of the afternoon. Unsatisfied: Where else have you been? Miss McMullan: Over at the Elec- trical Building. It was the most fun to listen to the people calling up their relatives at the Bell Telephone display. Amused: Aren ' t other things un- usual? Miss McMullan: Everything is in- teresting. The Italian Building was just like being back in Italy. The Family Doctor rnd the replica of Mount Vernon in the Japanese Building have left me breathless. I liked everything — but a ham- burger. It smelled like heaven and tasted like sawdust. J. Michael Questioning: Mr. Michael, at what are you laughing so hard? Mr. Michael: Those fallows trying to ride those airplanes (interval of mirth) . Exasperated: .That, seriously, im- presses you most? Mr. Michael: I can ' t say it the way it ought to be said, but the immensity of work it must require; the amount of time and money is stupendous. Inquiring: What for instance? Mr. Michael: Tho::s little models 5 in the Hall of Science, as an ex- ample — that one train, whose whole route was shown, tunnels, and all. Nuisance: Where have you spent most of your time? Mr. Michael: The Streets of Paris. Slightly Shocked: You say the funniest things I Mr. Michael: This makes our fourth visit. We slept in the car last night! Bravo I Miss Ella Moore Miss Moore, you certainly have seen something great and splendid in this display, haven ' t you? Miss Moore: It seems so wonderful that I can ' t help thinking all the time, Behold what God hath wrought. ' In all the exhibitions it is brought home to us and we see the work man has done to reveal the great truths. Thoughtful: You make us see the Fair in a new light. Were there any special things , you liked? %$ Miss Moore: Flowers W have always been a hobby of mine. So . I enjoyed the Horti- culture Building, % especially the gar % ' den of roses. I j $} liked to contrast the plants of the South with those of the North. And of ' o ' At- m n ,« H ¥3 I was deep- J ' Pill course, ly interested in the Hall of Sciones and the Planitarium. o, H j i £ mr- ii

SS -aHd Harold Johnson Reporter(e o y 1 y) : What do you think of this big Fair, Mr Johnson? Mr. Johnson: Well, one might aptly say that it is a glo- rified carnival. Amazed: Original? Mr, Johnson ( coldly) : 1 The Hall of Science .is quite interesting I enjoyed the %.s t a t e exhibits. Also the advertise ment is most abundant. Humbled: Was there anything else that impressed you? Mr. Johnson: Yes, the tower made me seasick. Miss Alice Kline What do you like best in all this vast display Miss Alice Kline? Miss Kline: Those wax figurines modeled after all the famous women that have contributed something to the world. They were wonderful. So-called coy: What , no dogs? Miss Kline: I did enjoy the dog show because I was told that my dog came from one of the best kennels in the United States. Us: I ' ll bet you ' re puffed up. Miss Kline: I knew it before, but I always like to hear it. Oh I and I got a lot of enlightment from that globe by Rand and McNally. I never could quite visualize it be- fore, you know, the way the oarth revolves on its axis and around its orbit. Miss 3mma KLine Miss Kline: Did you know that Paul Revere was a dentist? I didn ' t until I saw the Madisons ' exhibits. Deeply interested: What else have you learned? Miss Kline: Ripley ' s Believe It or Not was instructive and interesting in that line. Although the Hall of Science really was representative of the progress. Oh heavens! I shouldn ' t have come here. Horrified: Why? Miss Kline: I ' ve been in the Foods Building and just couldn ' t resist Aunt Jemina ' s pancakes, and I had to take time out on my diet. And those Scottish scones — » All ears: Did you learn anything new? Miss Kline: Yes, I found out we chew between the way a sheep does and the way a cow does. Miss Ruth Luther That car looks familiar. Why it ' s Stella and Miss Luther, Miss Luther: I suppose I ought to know you, but I ' m so tired I don ' t know myself. Horrified: But aren ' t you uplift-r- ed; don ' t you enjoy it all? Miss Luther: Nothing so much as the bus J . ' Shocked: But something I J Miss Luther: I liked Ripley ' s Be- lieve It or Not. I spent most of my time in the Hall of Science — I preferred the freaks. Really, it ' s impossible to stand here and talk. We ' re trying to see it in a day, and I ' ll have to rush since it ' s essential to get home to- night. Everything is rather blur- red in my mind. Tinkety-tonk! Fred Mahoney Been all over the Fair, Mr. Mahoney? Mr. Mahoney: I have been trying to see everything and I ' m afraid I have missed some of the big things. Interested: What did you like the best? Mr. Mahoney: I certainly enjoyed the sky ride which gave a bird ' s- eye view of Chicago. One of the 10

Eiffel Plasterer Beg pardon, you were saying? Mx. Plasterer: That the Fair is wonderful, colossal, amazing, and stupefying. I like everything. Aspiring: But whet most? Mr. Plasterer: Naturally, the Hall of Science, especially Mayo Brother ' s Exhibit and the tableau of the Family Doctor. The Fair almost put Chicago back on its feet. It brought bus- iness, and helped to pay the teach- ers. Hopeful: What impressed, you most? Mr. Plasterer: It must have been the TQ er. I was up in it five times Miss Dorothy Ridgway Miss Ridgway: Hello Inquiring one: Where have you been spending most of your time? Miss Ridgway: Oh, I could have lived in the Hall of Science. And I always visited the Planitarium to see the stars. I love to go there. Unsatisfied: Bid you see — — • — Miss Ridgway: No J I didn ' t see Sally Rand I Nor did we (her brother) go to .the Midway. Really, I can ' t tell you what I enjoyed most. The botherer: Did anything excit- ing happen to you? Miss Ridgway: Not exactly, but I did find that the Hall of Science had several main entrances after I waited at one half a day for Mr. and Mrs. Eberhart, and they waited for me the same length of time at another. Mrs. Clyde Roush Oh Mrs. Roush, you seem to bo in a great hurry. Mrs. Roush: I ' v. --oing back to look at that one house. I ' ve spent most of my time looking at the modern- The whole thing— the plans , the an enormous art anything that istic buildings. the buildings , lights — is just show. In awe: Is there isn ' t art to you? Mrs Roush: Either art or music. I sang in the 50,000 voice choir. Intently interested: What was your greatest thrill? Mrs. Roush: My ride on Amos. They stopped the car for repairs— Oh-h-h-hiJ Miss Lulu Rupert Yoo-hoo, Miss Rupert; are you suddenly becoming high hat? Miss Rupert: Oh dear no, I ' m just worried. I haven ' t had any dinner, and that ' s one of my biggest wor- ries.

The most pleasant evening (you know I ' ve been here a week) I spent was in the Horti- culture Building. Tlifi nost thrill- ing evening I spent was up in the Tower. When the lights came on it was wonderful, like fairyland. Thoroughly agreeing: What else are you most interested in? Miss Rupert: My feet, they ' re all blisters.
