- FEATURES
- The General Cigar exhibit will be surrounded by a generously landscaped area which includes a garden and patio with benches. These features, combined with the classic simplicity of the pavilion architecture will offer visitors a serene and peaceful spot to rest.
-
- Exterior: The completely air-conditioned building includes a theatre, International Bazaar, and extensive display area. The walls of the pavilion, except for the theatre section will be entirely of glass.
-
- Interior: The theatre entertainmnent, geared for adults and children will be prduced by Gordon Auchincloss and Magical Productions. This will be a magical show -- part live, part mechanical. Actors will talk to animated figures, on a motion picture screen, who will seemingly walk out of the screen and become alive.
