World’s Fair Fun Finder of Chicagoland [World’s Fairs and Expositions].

Controversial exhibit “Streets of Paris” cover story

---

Unrecorded? Entertainment guide to Chicago aimed at visitors to the city’s 1933 World’s Fair, the Century of Progress International Exposition. The illustrated guide and accompanying maps focus on the fair’s amusements and the city’s restaurants, nightclubs, roadhouses, and theatrical and sporting venues.

The cover story, with its provocative illustration, discusses the public complaint of female Chicago attorney, Mary Belle Spencer, against the fair’s “Streets of Paris” exhibition which she termed a “cesspool of iniquity” and a “bacchanalian exhibition.” Delighting in mocking her accusations, the editors of World’s Fair Fun Finder of Chicagoland thank her for the publicity and extol the delights of “Paris…built on the very edge of Lake Michigan.”

OCLC returns no holdings for this title under either Funfinder or “Fun Finder”. The self-described weekly designation may be spurious. In lovely condition.
