In March of 1937, the Tacoma Times newspaper held a special party for their carriers at the World's Fair Museum, a travelling exhibit that was in Tacoma for two weeks from March 19 to April 5. The traveling attraction, which was housed in the building at 1155-57 Broadway, featured Capt. Paul Herold - the German Giant, Princess Wee Jean - the smallest mother in the world, the "Albino Twins," and Laurello- the man with the revolving head. The "museum" was featured at the "Century of Progress" in Chicago, the San Diego World's Fair, and the Texas Centennial. Many of the performers in the museum had been illustrated in cartoons by Robert L. Ripley. (T. Times)
