Silent, B&W home movies of the 1933-34 Century of Progress world's fair in Chicago. Based of this film, it was a bigger and better fair than the 1939 NY World's Fair. It's of special interest to me because my late parents were Chicago teens during this fair and told many stories as I was growing up about how great it was. I can almost see my teenage parents walking along those promenades!
