The Paragon Park Carousel (PTC #85) is a historic carousel at 1 Wharf Avenue in Hull, Massachusetts.  Built in 1928 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, it is one of the state's only surviving four-wide carousels, and is the only surviving element of the Paragon Park amusement park.  The carousel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

Description and history
The Paragon Park Carousel is located in southern Hull, on a parcel bounded by Nantasket Avenue, George Washington Boulevard, and Wharf Avenue.  Across Nantasket Avenue is Nantasket Beach, a recreation area that has been a well-known summer getaway destination since the 19th century.  The carousel is in a stucco-walled single-story twelve-sided building, with a broad bellcast roof.  The roof has deep eaves, with exposed rafters.  Each face of the building has a garage-style lifting door, above which is a band of four windows.  The shape of the building's roof was custom-designed to house the carousel, which has an unusual scalloped top with barrel vaults.  The interior of these vaults is painted with a cloud-dotted sky, with the rim decorated with cherubs, cartouches, and international scenery.  The carousel consists of a series of wooden sweeps, braced by brackets.  All of the horses mounted on the outside rank are stationary, while there are a combination of fixed and moving horses on the inner ranks.  There are two Roman-style chariots, each "pulled" by two horses. There are a total of 66 horses, of which 42 move.

The first carousel at Paragon Park was built in 1920 by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company (PTC).  The present carousel was also built by the PTC, in 1928.  It is believed to contain elements manufactured by the Dentzel Carousel Company, whose assets were purchased by PTC in 1928.  It is one of 18 four-wide carousels manufactured by the company, and one of only two four-wide pre-1950 carousels in the state.  A Wurlitzer #146-B Band Organ with a Wurlitzer #153 facade provides the carousel’s music and it is owned by Bill Luca.  Of the Paragon Park rides, it is the only still on what were the park grounds; the Giant Coaster still survives as The Wild One at Six Flags America in Maryland.

The carousel was operated as part of Paragon Park until the park closed in 1984.  Its parts were auctioned off, but most were purchased by a locally organized preservation committee.  In 1986 it was moved a short distance to its present location.  It is now operated by the Friends of the Paragon Carousel.

Reception 
The Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 and wrote, "Though the film is made on a tight budget, the director’s attempt to tackle the subject of mindless idolization of Godmen and fake babas is laudable." 123telugu called the film "thought provoking" and stated: "It nicely captures the innocence with which people blindly follow many fake ‘Babas’ these days. The movie is entertaining and captivating in the second half. Tighter screenplay and better narration in the first half would have greatly helped matters."

The Shenango River is a principal tributary of the Beaver River, approximately 100 mi (160 km) long, in western Pennsylvania in the United States.  It also briefly flows through small portions of northeastern Ohio.  Via the Beaver and Ohio Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.

The Shenango, whose name comes from the Iroquoian "Shanango," meaning "the beautiful one," rises in west-central Crawford County and initially flows northwestwardly into the Pymatuning Reservoir, which was formed in 1934 by the construction of a dam on the river.  The lake turns to the south, widening into Ashtabula County, Ohio, and passing through Pymatuning State Park.  Below the dam and after returning fully to Pennsylvania, the Shenango flows south-southeastwardly into Mercer County, flowing through Jamestown and Greenville before turning westwardly into Shenango River Lake, formed in 1965 by a United States Army Corps of Engineers dam.  Below that dam, the Shenango flows southwestwardly through the communities of Sharpsville and Sharon (near which it briefly enters Trumbull County, Ohio); then south-southeastwardly past  Farrell, Wheatland and West Middlesex into Lawrence County, where it passes New Castle and Oakland.  It joins the Mahoning River to form the Beaver River, 3 mi (4.8 km) southwest of New Castle.

Tributaries of the Shenango include the short Little Shenango River, which flows for its entire length in Mercer County and joins the Shenango from the east at Greenville; Pymatuning Creek, which flows into Shenango River Lake; and Neshannock Creek, which joins the river at New Castle.

Wibbel the Tailor (German:Schneider Wibbel) is a comedy play by the German writer Hans Müller-Schlösser which was first performed in 1913. The play takes place in Müller-Schlösser's hometown of Düsseldorf during its occupation by French troops during the Napoleonic Wars. From 1913 to 1956, there were fifteen hundred performances of the play in Germany with actor Paul Henckels in the role of Wibbel. Four feature films and an opera have been based on Müller-Schlösser's play, and the character of Anton Wibbel has become a popular symbol of Düsseldorf.

Plot
According to the author, the story goes back to a true story in Berlin from the time of Kaiser Friedrich Wilhelm IV. A master baker had been involved in a drunken knife fight, and had been sentenced to several weeks in jail. The baker persuaded his journeyman assistant to serve the jail sentence in his stead. However, the journeyman dies in prison, and the baker is declared dead. When this becomes known, the Kaiser pardons the baker.

For his play, Müller-Schlösser changed the setting to his hometown of Düsseldorf at the "period of the French occupation" following Napoleon’s conquest of the region in the early 1800s. The baker became Wibbel, a master tailor. While inebriated, Wibbel had insulted the Emperor Napoleon and been sentenced to a jail term. Again, Wibbel persuades his journeyman to serve his sentence, and the journeyman dies while imprisoned. As Wibbel and his wife Fin watch his own funeral from their window, Wibbel remarks (in dialect) "Nä, watt bin ich für ’ne schöne Leich" (literally, "Well, I am a beautiful corpse”). This line from the play has become famous. After a period in hiding, Wibbel returns to his life by claiming to be his own twin brother, and marries his wife Fin. When the French forces withdraw from Düsseldorf, he announces the deception.

Adaptations
The play was a popular hit, and spawned a large number of adaptations such as the 1938 opera Tailor Wibbel by Mark Lothar and several films including:
 Wibbel the Tailor (1920 film), a German silent film directed by Manfred Noa (with Hermann Picha as Wibbel)
 Wibbel the Tailor (1931 film), a German film directed by Paul Henckels (with Paul Henckels as Wibbel)
 Wibbel the Tailor (1939 film), a German film directed by Viktor de Kowa (with Erich Ponto as Wibbel)
 , a 1956 West German film directed by Kurt Meisel (with Heinz Rühmann as Wibbel)

Mexican Spitfire is a 1940 American comedy film starring Lupe Vélez.  She plays a hot-headed, fast-talking Mexican singer taken to New York for a radio gig, who decides she wants the ad agency man for herself. The film was the sequel of the film The Girl from Mexico (1939) and was the first of a film series of seven more films with the same title and main characters.

Story
Newlyweds Dennis (Donald Woods) and Carmelita (Lupe Vélez) have several obstacles to deal with in their new marriage: Carmelita's fiery Latin temper, a meddling aunt and a conniving ex-fiancee who is determined to break up their marriage.

 Donald Woods as Dennis 'Denny' Lindsay
 Leon Errol as Uncle Matthew 'Matt' Lindsay
 Elisabeth Risdon as Aunt Della Lindsay
 Linda Hayes as Elizabeth Price
 Cecil Kellaway as Mr. Chummley
 Charles Coleman as Bosby - the Butler

Notes
First official entry in the series is a retread of The Girl from Mexico, but shifts focus from bland leading man Woods to hilarious Errol in dual role of Uncle Matt and the tipsy Lord Epping. The film was succeeded by another 6 films:

Mexican Spitfire Out West (1940)
The Mexican Spitfire's Baby (1941)
Mexican Spitfire at Sea (1942)
Mexican Spitfire Sees a Ghost (1942)
Mexican Spitfire's Elephant (1942)
