The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1937-06-17

Aquacade for top honors is an ex-
position spectacle called Winter
land, which presents the outstand-
ing figures of winter sport.
Here one can forget the summers
heat in watching an elaborate musi-
cal revue of fantastic land of
eternal winter. The charming plot
romance of the Winter Prince and
the Spring Princess serves as a
background for an ice carnival un-
surpassed in show business. The
Stars are Evelyn Chandler, Ameri-
cas- Maribel Vinson, former nation
al champion recently turned pro-
fessional; and Duke and Noble, for
l6 months stars of the famed ice
show at the College Inn, Chicago.
Visitors find free entertainment
aplenty, too. In vast amphitheater
that spreads before a large band
shell, national chain radio broad
casts, musical recitals and vaude-
vile acts are in progress almost
constantly. Fireworks on a true ex-
position scale are a nightly feature.
Gardens Charm Throngs.
When twilight comes there are
nine chances out of ten that you'll
find any honeymooning couple in
the vast horticultural gardens that
beautify the slopes down to the
waters edge. From a pergola-dotted
walk that winds 500 feet along the
top of the hillside, the evening stroll
er looks down upon an enchanting
vista of formal gardens represent
alive of many lands; upon water
fall that bubbles merrily over rock
formations on its way to join Lake
Erie, and upon rejecting pool
and fountain. The fountain is electri-
cally lighted, and the colors and
lacy water formations constantly
change in symphony of loneliness.
Here is a fine place to pick out
love seat and rest, contemplating
the pleasant incidents of a day at
the fair, waiting for the evening to
turn into the darkness of night.
For, once more entering upon the
streets of the fair after darkness has
set in, the visitor is greeted with
one more magnificent surprise
greater, probably, than any other
the fair offers. For the exposition S
boast that it is the best-lighted fair
in history is not an idle one.
AS night falls most of the throngs
find their way to the carefree Mid
way area, where the side shows,
cabarets, theaters and rides by the
score are by that time operating to
capacity. Here you can 60 up in
blimp, whirl dizzily in a "strato-
Ship or go below the surface of
Lake Erie in a submarine. You
can play at games, dine in unusual
restaurants, see the queer things
of the world in Ripley's believe It
or Not Odditorium" and other fam
tastic exhibits.
Easy on Feet, PocketbOok.
AS the night grows on, the gayest
throngs find their way to the
"Streets of the World" where in the
space of a few acres you can find
scenes and people from nations scat
tered the length and breadth of the
earth. There is always merriment
here, for the recreations of score
of countries are brought to America
in the many night clubs and show
houses of the area. The Streets OF
the World provide the charm and
fun of the many foreign villages
which were the hit of Chicago's Cen
fury of Progress exposition, without
making it necessary for the visitor
to walk to the far corners of the
fair to see them.
That is characteristic of Cleve-
lands exposition. 1t is compact, con-
venient, easy on the feet. 1t is pos
sible to see the whole exposition
thoroughly in a week-end-yet in
content, if not in area, it ranks with
any of the expositions of recent
years. Best of all, the visitor may
see everything in it, including all
concessions, for 1851.
"That," said our bridegroom to
his new spouse, makes it easier all
the way round. It's a swell way to
spend a honeymoon. 1t won't be nee
essary to pad my expense account
very much at all."*
EDITORS NOTE: This is a darn
lie. About the expense account, that
is. You should have seen that ex-
pense account. We speak with au-
thority. For the bridegroom was
none other than william C. UtIey,
the writer of the above article, and
the bride the former Mildred
Moses, of Chicago.
