DU PONT

Show business and science are artfully combined in this big, circular pavilion. A musical revue called "Wonderful World of Chemistry," written and produced by Broadway composer Michael Brown, is presented simultaneously in two theaters by two casts. After the show, audiences watch a modern-day alchemist perform feats of wizardry through chemistry.

Du Pont was a very popular show at the Fair, with audiences lining up for a spectacular chemistry show - and an entertaining stage production. (CD15 Set 75 #6)  


 

One of the experiments showed how Du Pont's Zepel would prevent staining. The product name was spelled out on a white sheet, then revealed when various liquids were poured across it. (CD10 Set 54 #27)
