The pageant was a tribute to American railroads and was first performed on April 30, 1939, with Charles Alan as director and Isaac van Grove as conductor. Edward Hungerford wrote the book, and various authors wrote the lyrics. The 1939–1940 New York World's Fair was a world's fair at Flushing Meadows–Corona Park in Queens, New York City, United States. It was the second-most expensive American world's fair of all time, behind the St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904. Many countries around the world participated, and more than 44 million people attended over two seasons. It was the first exposition to be based on the future, with an opening slogan of "Dawn of a New Day", and it allowed all visitors to take a look at "the world of tomorrow".
