{"product_id":"turn-of-the-century","title":"Turn of the Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis opening scene is set on Valentine’s Day around the turn of the century—the exact year purposefully unspecified. The pre-show footage shows a newspaper reading 1890, an in-scene calendar reads 1898, and John calls the stereoscope dancer (some sources hear \"Little Egypt,\" others hear \"the Norwegian\") “the star of the new World’s Fair in Saint Louis.” The St. Louis World’s Fair was in 1904 and the “Hootchie-Cootchie” craze was associated more with the 1893 Chicago World’s Columbian Exposition. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-slate-fragment=\"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\"\u003eAnd the Wright Brothers were testing planes in Kittyhawk, North Carolina from around 1900 to 1903, when they had their famous first successful flight. \u003c\/span\u003eSo we’re firmly in “around 1900” territory here, with the Imagineers likely blurring the exact year on purpose—a habit they’ll keep over the course of the scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere, first, John sits in his rocker with his dog Rover nearby, walking us through the marvels of the day: buildings \"as high as twenty stories,\" moving pictures, \"almost eight thousand automobiles\" in the country, traveling coast-to-coast by train in under seven days, and \"two brothers from North Carolina working on some kind of flying contraption\" that he’s sure will never work.
