World’s Fair Parade Aka Motor Parade For New York’s World Fair Lner (1938)
Titles read: “WORLD’S FAIR PARADE“.
New York, United States of America.
Various shots of “nearly 500“ decorated floats moving through the streets of New York city in preparation of the New York World’s Fair, to be opened 30 April 1939. Baseball star Babe Ruth stands on a float, tossing autographed cards to people in the crowd. The motorcade moves into the fairground of Flushing Meadows, where city and fair officials Mayor La Guardia and Grover Whalen stand before some microphones. A float carrying a replica of the Trylon and Perisphere (the symbols of the fair) moves past the crowds gathered here.
Cataloguer’s note: I now understand the line from the song ’Lydia the Tattooed Lady’ that says “Here is Grover Whalen unveilin’ the trilon“.
