A Century of
Progress International Exposition was the name of a World's
Fair held in Chicago from 1933 to 1934 to celebrate the
city's centennial. The theme of the fair was technological
innovation.
The fair's motto was
"Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Conforms"; its
architectural symbol was the Sky
Ride, a transporter
bridge perpendicular to the shore on which one could ride
from one side of the fair
to the other.
A Century of
Progress was organized as an Illinois nonprofit corporation in
January 1928 for the purpose of planning and hosting a World's
Fair in Chicago in 1934. The site selected was new parkland
being created
along the Lake
Michigan shoreline between 12th and 39th streets in Near
South Side, Chicago. Held on a 427 acres (1.73 km2)
portion of Burnham
Park the Century of Progress opened on May 27, 1933.[1]
The fair was opened
when the lights were automatically activated when light from
the rays of the star Arcturus
was detected. The star was chosen as its light had started its
journey at about the time of the previous
Chicago world's
fair—the World's
Columbian Exposition—in 1893.[2]
The rays were focused on photoelectric
cells in a series of astronomical observatories and then
transformed into electrical energy which was
transmitted to
Chicago.
The fair buildings
were multi-colored, to create a "Rainbow City" as
opposed to the "White City" of the World's Columbian
Exposition. The buildings generally followed Moderne
architecture in contrast to the neoclassical
themes used at the
1893 fair. One famous feature of the fair were the
performances of fan dancer Sally
Rand. Other popular exhibits were the various auto
manufacturers, the Midway (filled with nightclubs such as
the
Old Morocco, where
future stars Judy
Garland, The
Cook Family Singers, and The
Andrews Sisters performed), and a recreation of important
scenes from Chicago's history. The fair also contained
exhibits that would seem
shocking to modern
audiences, including offensive portrayals of
African-Americans, a "Midget City" complete with
"sixty Lilliputians",[4]
and an exhibition of incubators
containing real babies.
One of the
highlights of the 1933 World's Fair was the arrival of the
German airship Graf
Zeppelin on October 26, 1933. After circling Lake
Michigan near the exposition for two hours, Commander Hugo
Eckener landed
the 776-foot airship
at the nearby Curtiss-Wright
Airport in Glenview.
It remained on the ground for twenty-five minutes (from 1 to
1:25 pm)[6]
then took off ahead of an approaching weather front bound for
Akron, Ohio.
For some Chicagoans,
however, the appearance of the Graf Zeppelin over their
fair city was not a welcome sight, as the airship had become a
prominent reminder of the ascendancy of Adolf
Hitler to power earlier
that same year. This
triggered dissension in the days following its visit,
particularly within the city's large German-American
population. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_of_Progress |
