1933 Chicago Worlds Fair, 'Wings Of A Century' Program + Photos

A 1933 Chicago World's Fair Program for a play entitled, 'Wings Of A Century - The Romance Of Transportation'. The play highlighted the innovations made in transportation from as early as the 1700's, to the then-current modes of 'modern' transportation.
The booklet measures 11½ by 8½ and contains 14 pages, plus the front and back covers. Also included is a souvenir card from the Hall of Science building, as well as 24 mini, real photos of various Worlds Fair subjects. Each photo measures 1-5/8" by 2-5/8" and they are mounted on old, brittle scrapbook pages.
The actual photos of the locomotive trains on the inside back cover may be of interest to train enthusiasts. That back cover has two attachments: info on the Pennsylvania Railroad's Class M-1a Locomotive and a Subscription Blank for the World's Fair Weekly magazine.
The scanner gave the photos a pinkish tint instead of their true sepia tone - the pages look much better in person. A couple of pages have a small tear at the edge, with smudges and a bit of discolor to the covers, but generally the 75-year-old program is in good condition.
