The 1933-34 World's fair in Chicao is triumphed here in this sometimes confusing silent short. There are some great shots of some exhibits, and some magnificent shots of buildings, but 3/4 of the time, unless you're some kind of an expert on the subject, you don't exactly know what the building is. People in interesting costumes appear, but you don't know what they are. Heck, the ultimate tease is that they appear to be shooting a movie on a built set in the fair with "Jack Sullivan", "Grant Withers" and "Irene Rich", but it doesn't appear to be any record of it showing up on any movie databases anywhere...
