VIEW ACROSS THE LAGOON
Electricity's wizardy will be unfolded in this
sickle-shaped group of buildings at A Century of
Progress, Chicago's International Exposition in 1933.
Embellished with hanging gardens, steel cypress
trees, electric cascades and fountains, gilded pylons
and paved terraces, this structure, 1,200 feet long
by 300 feet wide, presents the last word in modern
architectural phantasy. A semi-circular unit, shown
on the right, will house exhibits portraying the gen-
ération, distribution and utilization of electricity. In
the center will be shown exhibits of telephone and
telegraph communication. On the extreme left is
the unit devoted to the wonders of radio and tele-
vision. White, red, yellow, gold, blue and silver will
be the colors used to decorate this extremely striking
group.
