Talk:The Columbian Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I see that this article (which is currently weak) represents a Museum and Art Center per their website: The Columbian Theatre

An excerpt from the History page gives some idea of the scope:

"The story of The Columbian began over 100 years ago when J. C. Rogers, a Wamego banker, visited the Chicago World's Fair, otherwise known as the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. He was astonished at the beauty and scope of the event, which celebrated the 400th anniversary of Columbus' discovery of the new world.

The glorious "White City," as the Fair was known, included 200 buildings over 633 acres. It attracted more than 27 million visitors, nearly half of America's population, in the six months it was open. Its spectacular architecture, elaborate waterways and the fabulous exhibits inspired Frank Baum's creation of the "Emerald City" when he wrote The Wonderful Wizard of Oz just a few years later."

Please hold off speedy deletion while I see what can be done...

Thanks!
