Some of the things you’ll see in this soundless 10-minute video mash-up of home movies of New York’s 1939 World’s Fair: Fair Corporation President Grover Aloysius Whalen, the League of Nations building, the Baby Incubators building (though not any actual babies in incubators), Laff Land, a scary looking parachute ride, Admiral Byrd’s Penguin Island, the building housing Olga the Headless Girl (though not Olga or her neck stump), a daredevil being “frozen alive,” automobile stunts, dancing girls sunbathing topless (yup!), Penelope Shoo: The Scarecrow of Tomorrow, glass blowers, waterfalls, fireworks and many, many strips of Kraft Premium Bacon. Watch the video.
