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. I | )) ii SI ig r uf F o about dinner and think of 1 l .j. pi f mj j t the things |» | 7rVil Ff Jf-lH ' V 14 ' £ ■ ' you nave m f| ' ' -j w seen. j ' , $ | Miss Rupert . 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. Mrs. Cnrrie Templeton A-ha, the only teacher from Huntington Hijh School who spent her summer in the Adironacks. Mrs. Teisroleton: Yes, I was at Lake Chtiinplain. Impressed: What interested you most? Mrs. Tompleton: Fort Ticonderoga. Did you know that more Colonial and 12

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

Revolutionary history contcrs here than any similar area on the North American Continent 1 ? Fort Ticun- deroga, which withstood the as- saults and invasions of three wars, and which has endured for almost two centuries, is in its present condition one of the most fas- cinating and memory haunted monu- ments of American history. Miss Bailie Tireilkill Who ' s this wandering around in the Belgium village and sitting through two dances? Bliss Thrailkill, the student and teacher of government I Surprised: What does this mean? Miss Thrailkill: fun in here. Disbelieving: place best? I V3 had the most Do you like this lit iHs Miss T tr il- kill: No, not exactly. ' I like the , magic house, I think I ' ll lo back. L n ' d the a ' favorite ' pla ' ce ' of mine. Inquirer: Whrt feature strikes you most forcibly? Miss Thrailkill: Tha efficient manner in which it is carried out. I understand that each organization in Chicago has charge of a certain feature. If ar.y money is loft, after expenses have been paid, it is set aside for charity. Miss Martha Tyner Miss Tyner, I suppose you were most interested in something the rest of us didn ' t think about. Miss Tyner: I was intensely in- terested in the Mayan Temple of the Aztecs in Yucatan, Mexico. It showed how high a stage of civili- zation those people had reached. Know-it»all: I thought so. What else did you like? Miss Tyner: I liked the Czecho- slovakian and Ukranian Villages. They showed the progress of the comparatively new governments. Delmar Weesner It isn ' t as bad as all that, is it, Mr. Weesner? Mr. Weesner: Oh no. I think the Fair is the most colossal thing of its kind ever produced. Appeased: But what were you frown- ing about? Mr. Weesner: The music. There have only been five band concerts hore all summer and no orchestral concerts. Surprised: Well,, you must have liked some of it. Mr. Weesner: I think the Hall of Science and the Hall of Social Science were the most attractive However, I was a little disappoint- ed in the Fair because it so essentially cormercial and mer- cenary. Miss Florence Wei ford Miss Weiford: But most of all, I like— Unmannered: The Hall of Science. Miss Jeiford: It is so interesting to see the wax figures and the steps in an appendicitis operation at the medical exhibit. Knows all: Speaking of wax-. ' Miss Weiford: Oh yes- The Family Doctor, I think it is wonderful. I also got a lot of pleasure out of the radio and communications build- ing. It ' s fun to listen in the head phones and hear what the man says to the dummy. My biggest thrill was being up in the Tower at night and watching the lights. Nuisance: Did you see any of the foreign villages? Miss Weiford: The pearl replica of Mount Vernon was wonderful. The most unusual exhibit is the figur- ines of famous women. 13
