Description


A star spangled, double revolving Capitol dome, such as the Capital City never saw, is one of the highlights of the "American Jubilee" which will be produced at the World's Fair of 1940 in New York. The dome is a special invention of Albert Johnson, the producer, who is famous as an inventor of ingenious theatrical sets. The dome not only revolves but also reshapes itself in an intricate design on which a singing and dancing cast of 300 and a cavalry unit brings the musical to a close. Photo measures 10 x 8.25 inches. Photo is dated 03-29-1940.
