Additional Information
Fifteen French China Dolls from the 1922 May Fete. A windmill, large goose, large Mother Goose book, and a white picket fence make up the background. The Carnegie Building stands behind the fence. The powerhouse and its smokestack are seen in the left background. The May Fete was a modest production from 1909-1916 until Nell Martindale took over as head and expanded the small show into a spectacular dance-drama. From 1917 to 1927, May Fete saw elaborate sets and as many as 500 performers. The last May Fete was in 1927 when Martindale resigned to be married.
