She'll be okay. 29 00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:04.860 That's what they did, and I'm glad they did. 30 00:03:04.980 --> 00:03:07.560 They didn't give you any special treatment or anything? 31 00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:18.140 No, I just ate and drank food and what everybody else did and grew up to be like I am, normal but little. 32 00:03:19.320 --> 00:03:21.460 Good morning.

Now you were in in 38. There were two fairs? Two years? 64 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:31.840 There were two fairs. One in 1933. My husband was in the one in 1933. 65 00:06:32.760 --> 00:06:36.700 He was the smallest midget then. He was advertised as little Elmer 66 00:06:36.700 --> 00:06:40.960 because his real name is Parnell Elmer St. Albans. 67 00:06:41.420 --> 00:06:43.240 And he went as little Elmer. 68 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.980 And he was the smallest midget at the Chicago Fair in 1933. 69 00:06:47.860 --> 00:06:50.520 I don't know too much about that because I wasn't there. 70 00:06:50.660 --> 00:06:55.760 Okay, now was that the midget village? 71 00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:57.720 That was called the midget village. 72 00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:01.540 This is the famous midget village. 73 00:07:01.540 --> 00:07:05.300 There are nearly a hundred of these little people from all parts of the world 74 00:07:05.300 --> 00:07:07.960 live and do business just like a regular city. 75 00:07:08.780 --> 00:07:13.040 Here's Elmer, just a sample of the inhabitants, and rather a small sample at that. 76 00:07:13.660 --> 00:07:16.300 Both are full grown men over voting age. 77 00:07:16.780 --> 00:07:17.980 Let's go in and get acquainted. 78 00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:28.060 Here comes Elmer. 79 00:07:30.220 --> 00:07:31.280 Hi Elmer. 80 00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:34.260 That was Elmer. 81 00:07:35.420 --> 00:07:38.380 In the uniform is the captain of the guard, Prince Ludwig. 82 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:44.300 Next is Mr. and Mrs. Lyable, who have just celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. 83 00:07:45.080 --> 00:07:48.340 Where's Elmer? This picture will be a total loss without Elmer. 84 00:07:49.300 --> 00:07:51.400 There he is. What a man, Elmer. 85 00:07:52.940 --> 00:07:57.940 Now shake hands with Stella Royall, leading lady in the midget village dramatic performance. 86 00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:04.120 Here we have the Royall family together. 87 00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:08.140 Stella, Helen, and Charlie, all talented performers. 88 00:08:08.780 --> 00:08:09.560 How about a shine? 89 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.200 The barber shop is one of the busiest places, 90 00:08:15.620 --> 00:08:19.320 for these people are classy dressers and very particular about their appearance. 91 00:08:20.280 --> 00:08:22.920 This is obviously a man's barber shop. 92 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:30.940 How about a soda? With Elmer at the throttle, you're sure to get a good one. 93 00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:38.260 He claims that to mix a few sodas, he has to cover as much territory as the average size man playing 18 holes of golf. 94 00:08:39.400 --> 00:08:44.280 If you ever see him, ask him about the time he fell in the sink back of the fountain and almost drowned. 95 00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:52.340 You'll notice that these people have to work twice as hard to serve you as ordinary folks would. 96 00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.240 They have to reach twice as far and take twice as many steps. 97 00:08:56.680 --> 00:08:58.640 I suppose that's why they're twice as cheerful. 98 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.500 This guy can do better across the alley for a nickel. 99 00:09:07.340 --> 00:09:11.460 The mayor of the village, Mayor Doyle, takes his administrative duties seriously. 100 00:09:11.460 --> 00:09:14.600 Here he is sending an officer out to investigate a complaint. 101 00:09:15.580 --> 00:09:19.340 The officer thinks it's a lot of baloney, but duty is duty. 102 00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:25.740 And now all he needs is a little wooden pistol. 103 00:09:28.060 --> 00:09:32.560 Besides offering excellent entertainment, boxing is also a pretty good way to settle arguments. 104 00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:36.240 Mike and Ike are battling for the Mosquito Weight Championship. 105 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.740 On this diminutive theater stage, excellent vaudeville performances are given. 106 00:09:42.160 --> 00:09:45.060 For most of these people have been performers many years. 107 00:09:45.780 --> 00:09:49.800 Johnny Leal, known as the miniature Will Rogers, is showing some clever rope tricks. 108 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:55.440 And last but not least, Dolly Bonita from Indiana, who's little in a great big way. 109 00:09:56.020 --> 00:10:01.280 Only 42 inches high, but weighs 225 pounds at the last sitting. 110 00:10:01.280 --> 00:10:07.000 She does very little standing because, well, whoever heard of eating standing up? 111 00:10:08.660 --> 00:10:10.220 Careful of the ankles, Dolly. 112 00:10:12.940 --> 00:10:14.180 Oh, oh. 113 00:10:15.680 --> 00:10:20.200 As we leave the midway, we pass a fateful reproduction of Old Fort Dearborn. 114 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:26.240 And he was selling newspapers. He was like the little newspaper thing there. 115 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:29.300 He was a boy, not a boy, but a man. 116 00:10:29.340 --> 00:10:33.940 He was selling the little midget newspapers that were little tiny papers. 117 00:10:34.520 --> 00:10:39.400 And then he also played the clarinet there. He played the clarinet. 118 00:10:39.940 --> 00:10:46.480 And I don't know too much more about what he actually did then because I didn't know him at that time. 119 00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:48.660 Was that the one with Sally Rand? 120 00:10:49.020 --> 00:10:55.360 Sally Rand was at that. She was, they had all different things I remember being told about. 121 00:10:55.360 --> 00:11:03.040 They had Italian Village. I think she played in the French Village, but I don't know what they call the name of that. 122 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:08.840 But that's where she was doing her Sally Rand dance. I mean, fan dance, excuse me. 123 00:11:09.640 --> 00:11:12.000 And what is that thing on your forehead? 124 00:11:12.300 --> 00:11:13.800 That's a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. 125 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.080 Does that have anything to do with the celebration that's going on today? 126 00:11:18.500 --> 00:11:21.660 I'm not sure they were selling them, though, so I thought it would be a pretty good idea. 127 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.240 What do you think of Wizard of Oz? 128 00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:31.600 Oh, it's great. I read the book. I've seen the movie, too. 129 00:11:41.800 --> 00:11:44.020 Dorothy!

My mother talked to the manager, 144 00:12:47.020 --> 00:12:54.160 and I went backstage in the ladies dressing room and tried on all our costumes and everything and really enjoyed it. 145 00:12:54.580 --> 00:12:56.920 And Mr. Rose said to my mother then, 146 00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:04.020 well, when she gets about 11 or 12, give us, you know, we'll keep in touch and maybe we can do something. 147 00:13:04.140 --> 00:13:08.780 So when I was 11 or 12, they wrote me again, my mother again. 148 00:13:08.780 --> 00:13:15.000 My mother asked, you know, me, because they asked her, she said, what do you think? 149 00:13:15.140 --> 00:13:16.860 I said, well, I'd like to try it. 150 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:20.480 So my mother signed the contract because I was a minor. 151 00:13:21.020 --> 00:13:28.160 But she said, anytime she wants to come home, she is not binded to this contract. 152 00:13:28.300 --> 00:13:34.100 So that was it. So I worked with them and I worked with them till I was 19. 153 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:37.700 And I called my mother one night and I said, I want to come home. 154 00:13:38.780 --> 00:13:42.200 We're glad to have two winners for our Dorothy Longest Braid Contest. 155 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.060 Would you tell us your name?

And my mother says, oh, yes, I can. That was our contract. 170 00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:43.880 So she came and got me, and that's how I left that room. 171 00:14:44.540 --> 00:14:50.880 Wave your wand, and here's your bubble. Yeah. So what does one dolly say? 172 00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:57.180 Oh, they know where we're going. And there's no place for that. 173 00:14:57.180 --> 00:15:01.740 Yeah.
