The ceremony cere-mony will take place in the huge court shown above. The figure pointing with the cane is President Rufus C. Dawes of the exposition. Notice the rostrum in the center, cen-ter, from which speakers will be able to address assemblages of as many as 80,000 persons. To the left appears the rear wall of the court with its striking cactus-tree design. In the background one discerns the backs of the twelve angular pylons, flanked by twin towers, which is to surround sur-round an electrical fountain. The Hall of Science is approximately 700 by 400 feet, two stories and a mezzanine. It is modern in design, gray, white, gold and red in color and a combination of the mysterious and gay in effect. The Hall of Science was designed by Paul Philippe Cret of Philadelphia. |
