Description
Workers construct podiums, arrange cables and hang banners in the empty ampitheatre. They cut wood in a shop and construct a stage. A large banner reading "100 Years of Progress" has been hung. Much elephant iconography. A man hand-paints signs with each state's name and stacks them to dry. Exterior shot of Becker Brothers Studios.
