—Home of the Chickering—
Kitchen of $435,000 Doll House
The miniature kitchen in the Colleen Moore $433,000 doll house to be exhibited the week of June 3 at
Lansburgh's for the benefit of the crippled children at Children'* Hospital.
_ *
Actress’ $435,000 Doll House \
To Be Exhibited by Store Here
Colleen Moore’s Tiny Palace Will Be
Shown for Week for Benefit
of Children’s Hospital.
The $435,000 doll house which i
Colleen Moore built in fulfillment of
her childhood dreams will have a
week's showing here, beginning June
3, for the benefit of crippled patients
at Children's Hospital.
The incredible, fairy-land castle,
embodying the skill of 700 artists,
master craftsmen and workmen, will
be exhibited in a large room at Lans
burgh’s department store, and all pro
ceeds will go to Children’s Hospital,
a Community Chest organization.
After the opening day. when invi
tations will be extended and a dollar
admission fee charged, children will
be admitted for 15 cents and adults
for 25 cents.
The famous doll house, now on a
tour of the country, is constructed of
aluminum and copper, with fantastic
angles and turrets.
Weighs 6,000 Pounds.
Resting on the summit of a rugged
precipice, the castle, which is 9 feet
high end 9 feet long, rises 14 feet and
weighs approximately 6,000 pounds.
The house, excepting rivets, contains
more than 200.000 individual pieces,
being a mechanical marvel of un
precedented intricacy, yet predict
ability.
Called "the world's most delight
ful fantasy," this doll house Is
equipped throughout with mechanical
wonders in miniature. It boasts of a
solid gold cathedral organ 15 inches
high, which plays through an elabor
ate electrical system via remote con
trol. The house also has the world’s
smallest electric light bulbs, each be
ing the size of a grain of wheat and
embedded in sockets with the circum
ference of pinheads, in a golden chan
delier strung with glittering, pear
shaped diamonds.
The doll house is wired with an
electrical system requiring months of
labor and experimentation and is
controlled with a series of transform
ers and switches for each room. All
lighting, with the exception of flood
lighting in the garden, is indirect,
with more than 400 small watt bulbs
being utilized in the system.
Tanks Feed Fountains.
Water tanks on turrets and in the
dungeons of the castle feed live foun
tains in the kitchen, garden and bath
rooms. Operated by an electrically
run centrifugal pump, the tanks, on
emptying, play beautiful chimes in
the steeples every 10 minutes auto
matically. while, operated by elec
tricity, a magic feathered nightingale
perches on a lavender glass tree in
the Garden of Aladdin and sings full
thoated, joyful tunes.
The fairy castle is a house of ac
tivity. A little fairy princess, only
inches high, reduced by diminishing
glasses through an ancient illusion,
dances in a garden grotto, sings, an
swers questions and curtsies for her
beholders.
Tropical guppies fill the garden
fountain, where ivory horses drawing
Cinderella's silver coach drink their
fill.
The doll house contains 11 rooms,
Aladdin's magic garden and Noah’s
entrance hall. The furnishings
throughout the house represent years
of effort in collecting in every part
of the world, and are rigidly in scale
of an inch to the foot, and probably
are the most priceless in existence.
