Additional Information
The Sacks of Gold from the 1924 May Fete. Babcock Hall is in the background at left and the Carnegie Library Building on the right. 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.
