Commerce will improve. Eff

success.
Stars smile on romance which

sonances Of the Ted Lewis gang.
Two Of the best entertain
ments on the entire program
are "Caxalcade Of the Gold
en- VEST" and The Follies
Bergere.. Both are worth
much more than the admis-
sion price.
The cavalcade presents IN
colorful spectacle and dialogue
the story of Pacific coast de-
velopment over period of 400
years. Explorers. Spanish con-
querors, missionary priests. gold
seekers. wagon wheel pioneers,
pass in colorful review. The
scenes depicting coming of the
railroad. development of the cat
tie business, establishment of
cities and towns. and the gay
period of the early nineties lead
in rapid sequence up to the pres
ent day.
The spectacle is historically
correct and entertaining.
In the Follies one finds fast
moving extravaganza with gor-
geous costumes, tuneful. sparkle
ing music, spectacular staging
and clever comedy.
As for the exhibit buildings
there is wide choice of exceed
ing interest. II time is not too
limited the fine arts exhibit
should not be overlooked. The
exhibits. especially the research
divisions of General Motors and
DUPONT should not be overlooked.
The transportation buildings are
worth the time il takes to 20
through them. The exhibits IN
the Pacific area should be seen
by all means and if there is time
for some of the foreign displays
don't miss the South American
countries.
Visitors from Washington who
know the states resources will
very likely be disappointed with
the representation in the Pacific
states area. The pictures in the
Washington building fall far
short of telling the story of the
states industries and resources.
The life size bust of Gov. Mar
tin and the hunting, fishing and
recreational scenes are particu-
larly good but from an advertis-
ing and sales viewpoint the dis
play as a whole is weak.
The fact that any number of
persons have registered in the
Washington building does not
mean anything. Most everybody
from everywhere registers in
every building. The number
who do so depends largely on
the demeanor of those in charge
of the registration desks. It's
too bad, but knowing this state
from one corner to the other,
there isn't anything in the WASH
ington display to inspire more
than casual passing interest.
AT least that is one mans
opinion.
