Page "Century of Progress" Paragraph 3

The fair buildings were multi-colored, to create a " Rainbow City " as opposed to the " White City " of the World's Columbian Exposition.

The buildings generally followed Moderne architecture in contrast to the neoclassical themes used at the 1893 fair.

One famous feature of the fair were the performances of fan dancer Sally Rand.

Other popular exhibits were the various auto manufacturers, the Midway ( filled with nightclubs such as the Old Morocco, where future stars Judy Garland, The Cook Family Singers, and The Andrews Sisters performed ), and a recreation of important scenes from Chicago's history.

The fair also contained exhibits that would seem shocking to modern audiences, including offensive portrayals of African-Americans, a " Midget City " complete with " sixty Lilliputians ", and an exhibition of incubators containing real babies.
