HE Ripley Exhibit I found quite be- lievable, strange as it may seem, re- calling that the strangest thing about Ripley is that he can go as he does. The movie exhibit was a thriller. It was called the Hollywood Parade and exhibited Mary Pickford’s curls, Charlie Chaplin’s shoes, a few sets and some real motion picture making which showed how they did it but not why. A definite over- sight! [ thought this exhibit pretty weak, for how could any movie display be com- plete without Mae West's wiggle, Greta Garbo's shoes, Doug Fairbank’s hop, Joe Brown's mouth, Jimmy Durante’s nose, and the Warner Brothers’ gall.
