NEW YORK —“Wonder World”—
the $3.5 million show at the World’s
Fair—closed Sunday because of poor
business.
Also the co-producers of “Icetrav-
aganza” said that unless business
picks up, the ice show will put on its
last performance Saturday.
Business at the Texas pavilion’s
“To Broadway With Love” was de-
scribed as “terrible” over the week-
end. Sunday’s show was the last
performance. From now on it will be
on a six-day-a-week basis.
Fair exhibitors had hoped for daily
crowds of 300,000 or more over the
holiday weekend. The figures never
got to 200,000.
(The Dallas State Fair draws bet-
ter than that.)
