America s I acationers i urn Toward Cleveland Exposition
t . v-
THE BRIDGE OF THE PRESIDENTS, honoring the sixteen American Chief Executives born in or elected
from the Great Lakes states, forms the avenue of approach for the more than 5,0G0,000 visitors expected at the Great
Lakes Exposition in Cleveland during its 101 days from May 29 to September 6. Beyond the bridge lies the Exposition,
covering 150 acres, and stretching for more than a mile and a half along the breeze-cooled shores of Lake Erie, depicting
the newest in architecture, industrial exhibits, and entertainment.
Floral Paradise Brought to Earth
THE HALF-MILLION DOLLAR Horticultural Gardens at the Great
Lakes Exposition in Cleveland, of which the above is a small section, are so ar
ranged as to appeal to the home gardener and to the man who deesn t know a rose
from a peony. Plantings make possible a succession of seven flower festivals
throughout the Exposition period of May 29 to September 6. New varieties not
yet on the market are making their debuts in charming vistas attractive to ex
position visitors.
Whole Orange Grove Moved North
GROVES OF ORANGE and other citrus trees, blossoming and bearing
fruit, palms, orchids, and other rare plants, and fascinating dioramas of industrial,
agricultural, and tropical scenes, all filling twenty-eight freight cars, mafte up
the Florida exhibit at the Great Lakes Exposition in Cleveland. The Southern
manor house, shown above, surrounded by citrus fruit groves and tropical plants,
is the central feature of the Florida exhibit.

ELEANOR HOLM JARRETT,
former Olympic backstroke swimming
champion, finds that pedaling a sta
tionary bicycle keeps her in physical
trim for her appearances in Billy Rose’s
Aquacade at the Great Lakes Exposi
tion in Cleveland, where she heads a
cast of 500 swimmers, singers and
dancers in the world’s first great water
extravaganza. Appearing with her from
May 29 to Sept. 6 on the 160-foot float
ing stage at the 5,000-seat theater, amid
lighting equipment three times that of
Radio City, are Johnny Weissmuller
and Aileen Riggin, also former Olympic
champions and motion picture stars.

THIS YOUNG LADY need have
no fears of a hot summer nor will those
who go to Cleveland to see her in the
ice spectacle, “Winterland,” at the
Great Lakes Exposition. Amid “winter
in-summer” surroundings, produced by
modern snow and ice manufacturing
devices, champion skaters will appear
in a 8200,000 production, directed by
Isaac Van Grove, technical supervisor
of several New York successes, during
the 101 days of the Exposition from
May 29 to Sept. 6.

MIRACULOUS SIGHT RETURNS
TO VET “BEYOND HOPE”
Lynchburg, Va.—Thanking God
for what seemed to him a miracle,
Paulette Smith, a World War veter
an who went stone blind a year ago,
has regained his sight.
Just as one presses the button in
a dark room to flood it with light,
so was the veteran’s sight restored
with shocking suddenness. Besides
himself with joy, he shouted his
good fortune. His relatives and
friends gathered around him. Sure
enough, he could see again.
It was on June 13 a year ago
Smith’s sight vanished completely.
Three days before he had a dentist
pull nine teeth in the hope of alle
viating the pain caused by arthritis.
Shock kept him in bed three days.
On the morning of the 13th, as lie
was walking down the steps, he
said “a black curtain fell over my
eyes.”
Eye specialists were called and
their opinion was unanimous; he was
beyond power of medical skill. His
trouble was diagnosed as a detach
ed retina.
“They told me if I ever saw again
it would be through the help of a
higher power,” Smith exclaimed.
A few days ago, the “miracle” oc
curred.
About 4 a. m. Smith awoke and
wanted some water. He turned on
a light, a signal to others in the
house he needed attention. And as
he pulled the light cord he found to
his utter amazement he could see
everything in the room.
Smith blinked'. “Is it real or am
I dreaming?” he said.
It was not long before the stark
reality dawned upon him. “My
God, my God, I can see again!” he
shouted as relatives ran to his side.
