Before History (1933)

Chicago World’s Fair, Illinois, United States of America. “Now we’re taking you back to the dim dawn of the world - for a glimpse of life millions of years ago.“ Fantastic moving display of dinosaur models. They are pretty cranky but excellent. The dinosaurs move and make dinosaur noises. There is a Mammoth - a small boy stands beside it and strokes it as it moves its head. A Triceratops (sp?) and others are seen. Brontosaurus (“with eyelashes like a movie queen“ states the narrator) is seen beside a small boy. Pterodactyl is seen looking spooky in the dark.
