| Caption | "A Night in Paradise" was an adults-only Vegas-style vaudeville show held at Gracie Hansen's Paradise International Theatre on Show Street. It ran for the duration of the fair, and although it was a financial failure, the combination of showgirl glitz, fancy costumes and jewlery, acrobats, ventriloquists, and other variety acts, made this show one of the most memorable attractions of the Century 21 Exposition. |
| Notes | Printed on ticket verso: Welcome to Paradise! It's with extreme pleasure that I present Barry Ashton, the world's leading producer of oustanding club revues, to bring you his finest show--"A Night in Paradise." Lavish costumes, exquisite jewelry and, of course, beautiful girls are the trademarks of my Paradise. I hpoe you will visit me often as you enjoy the wonders of the Seattle World's Fair. With love, Gracie Hansen. |
