The Middleton Family at the New York World's Fair

Drama

Here a boy from back home, Jim, who works at the Fair takes the family around and explains the many wonders of science to them, meanwhile trying to convince Bud, the young son, that machinery instead of taking jobs away from people makes more for them. He is opposed in his views by Dick, a radical artist.

A little romance is also injected into the story through the young daughter, Babs, whom both Dick and Jim wish to marry. Notable exhibits include a dishwashing contest between Mrs. Modern and Mrs. Drudge, the Westinghouse time capsule, and Elektro, the smoking robot. (www,loc.gov)
