SUN-DAY AT THE FAIR

'TWAS A NICE BRIGHT DAY at the Fair, so our sun-worshiping lensmen found a lofty perch and started shooting film. Here's what they came up with in the Industrial Area (from top left): Better Living Center, Pepsi-Cola's Walt Disney fantasy, Eastman Kodak's world's largest outdoor foto colorprints and, edging into the International Area, American-Israel's wood-paneled pavilion and a Swiss Sky Ride terminus. And don't forget the Brass Rail "marshmallows."

Kodak Pavilion

Lunar landscape roofs the Eastman Kodak Pavilion. Spires, mounds, and craters of an imaginary moonland create odd angles and shadows to challenge the visiting cameraman's artistry. World's largest outdoor color photographs -- 30 by 36 feet -- ring the tower.

VISIT THE KODAK PAVILION AND THE WORLD'S FAIR IN '65...

Kodak at Night
Emmett Kelly, Jr.
Sad-faced clown Emmett Kelly, Jr., cavorts around the Kodak Pavilion at the World's Fair - much to the delight of children and their picturetaking parents. Above, he wins a smile from young Harriet Staley, one of more than 27,000 Kodak share owners and their families who have visited the pavilion.

 

When the New York World's Fair opens for its second season on April 21, 1965, the staff of the freshly-redecorated Kodak Pavilion will be ready to greet the millions of visitors expected during the final six-month period.

The Kodak Pavilion, one of the ten largest at the Fair, will have several revised displays with added audience participation. The pavilion's bright picture tower again will serve as one of the Fair's landmarks -- with its changing series of huge color prints of scenes from all over the world.

For the convenience of Kodak share owners, a special showing of "The Searching Eye," the unusual multi-image motion picture that is a highlight of the Kodak exhibit, has been scheduled again this year each Monday and Friday morning at 9:15 a.m. Since the Pavilion will not be open to the general public until 10 a.m., you will be able to avoid waiting in line.
