CHICAGO PLANS A 'DREAM CITY' FOR 1933 EXPOSITION By A Den U Palrymplo (Associated Press Staff Writer) CHICAGO. (P) An enchanted fairy city Is to rise in Lake Michi gan off tho shores of Chicago. Volcanoes of light playing on clouds of gases and vapors phos phorescent seas and canals Illumi nated by submerged colored globes buildings seeming to reach the stars, towers, and columns disap pearing into the heavens build ings of celludoll and glass Inte riors of fantastic structures, chang ing colors at the push of a button noiseless electric 1 a u n c h e a moving sidewalks and escalators running from floor to floor. These are the suggestions to be submitted April 29 to the Chicago centennial committee by their architects. S incere Cordial Q Visitors to the 1933 exposition will all go down to enter the place. Moving-sidewalks will carry theht from the street level to the arti ficial streets below. ; ; Ingenuity of engineers has been called Into play to obtain an effect of vertlcallty at certain, points without having the buildings any way near the height of the sky scrapers forming Chicago's skyline and the background of the fair. A series of islands in Lake Michigan will be built for ( the exposition locale. A permanent fireworks impress sion will be given by shifting col ored lights, passing over a group of columns, constructed, of celluloid, tiling and glass. The columns will appear to move and their points to reach fantastic heights. "Lighting is one of the most im portant considerations," Harvey Wiley Corbett of New York, chair man of the architectural commis sion, said. "The possibilities of ar tificial light, both day and night, are so great they almost scare us." Visitors, moving from building to building on the noiseless launches will travel between the specially built islands over canals whose waters will change color as the silent boat slips along. "Vertlcallty is a relative thing," continued Mr. Corbett. "We may reetings Simons, Shuttleworth & French Company, Inc. FRUIT F.O.B.
