And The Story Goes On
If any at you good fo.ka read
ravings last week about the view
of the Chicago Fair grounds at night
from the Otis Tower— maybe
thought I was crazy—ar.d I
an still crazy and it will be
all I can do to keep from telling
you about a few things that 1 and
my two daughters thought were out
standing and if you plan to maitj a
trip—these suggestions might help.
They will not be spoken of in the
order of worth-while-nesa—but just
1 happen to think of them—and
I will probably skip from one side
ot the grounds to the other.
If you arc at all interested in the
heavens, an hour’s time spent
Adler Planetarium to see the moon
and the run and the stars rise and
chase each other over the sky (with
lecturer to tell you all about it)
will be more than worth your while.
a revelation—and mo
esting. The morning we attended
there was a woman lecturer—and
she just has more sense than any
woman is really allowed—and a
deep clear voice that carried well.
I hope you dratv her—and I think
the lectures are about every hour.
Just outside the grounds stands
the Field Museum. Several months
study would be a fair estimate for
this—but at least go in—ask the
guide at the door as to the locations
of a few out-rtandng exhibition!
and see them. I could not begin to
even suggest a few.
Down at the very end of the three
•miles about 33rd street each after
noon and "night—there is a pageant
given. The Wings of the Century or
The Romance /Of 1 transportation,
which lasts dfcout an hour—and the
admission is forty cents. With
announcers (a man and a woman—
one on each side, seated on a raised
platform) and a splendid orchestra
which plays almost continouslly, you
will be thrilled by the pageant which
begins at the time the Red Man used
his birch canoe, thru the wilderness
—and you. It is in General Exhibits,
Pavilion No 2—and is really worth
seeing. There is a huge dictionary
mounted in some way m> it may open
and shut, all by machinery) and the
“catch" is a beam of light which
shines into a little opening at the
side of the platform which holds
the book. The hook must be closed
first— then at tbe top a slide slow-
’y moving carries words and as ycu
select one you wish to find-step
qu'ckly between that beam and the
opening—(casting a shadow on the
hole) and the dictionary will slow
ing turn Ha leaves until that word
and its meaning appears. This ex
hibit is put on by Funk and Wag-
nails Co.—The Literary Digest folks
—and you might order a half dozen.
Just write Mr. Funk or Mr. Wag-
nail that I told you about it and
->e might make me a commission
which would be gladly accepted-
then I could go beck to see the
‘how. I think Til buy one lor the
Judge—he wean out more diction-
•ries than the law allows, and is
great on thinking up words.
And here we come again to the
stopping point—and we arc not near
through. If the Editor does not i
der me before the next week rolls
around—and if enough of you wish
this to be “contirued in our next’’
—why something like that may
happen. So—watch out. In the mean
time—the grandkiddies are here-
three of them—and we are having
- great time out here. Of course
you haven't time to hear about them

cents—but you do not wish to
it. This chalice, one of the rarest
relics of Christianity, was found
Antioch, Syria, by Arabs digging
ruins. It is over seven inches high
and will hold about two quarts of
liquid. There are beautifully sculp
tured figures—pyp scenes with
Christ and his followers, five of them

almost eat each other up, until—
ifter you get out—you feel exact

how you hear them talking altho

One of the most attractive spots
n the entire grounds is the place
where the A, and P. Company has
open air theatre with a revolv
ing stage. If the weather is good—
you sit on the benches out >n the
open—if it rains the stage is turned
and you are under a covered pavil-
lion. There—you will find chairs,
with the “side tables" attached
where you may sit and sip a drink
and look out over the big lake and
revel in the cool breezes. In fact it
was such a popular spot that it
rather hard to find a chair, but if
you did —oh boy; About four enter-
anmenta are given on the stage
•ach day—and I think the first is
it five-thirty. All in between the
how-—an orchestra plays, and you
will enjoy the introduction of the
‘show" given by George Rector in
•erson, about as much as you do the
puppets Yes—the puppets specially
designed for this occasion by none
other Tony Sarg himself, and they
great. The first one was a c : r-
cus—and SOME circus it was. with
the clown being taken up by a big
balloon and every Aing “busting".
The Revue is great Paderewski
being the first perfoimer—and he
astonishes you by starting out on
the Prelude in C sharp minor and
going into all aorta of popular and
rag tunes—he Is there, long bushy
hair and waving arms. How on earth
the folks "up” behind the scenes get
those figures to act as they do is
mystery to me. By all means ree
tlvs show—are went twice.
If you are at aH inclined to study
•he dictionary—you might hunt out
that big book that thinks for itself
—but you can imagine all sorts of!
things—if you have a nice imagi
nation.
