St Louis World Fair film (1904)

Newspaper stories suggesting a possible Cliff House appearance on film, entirely unverified...

4/17/2018 - According to the Olympic Club staff archivist they don't have any information on the above St Louis Worlds Fair
film as they lost a lot of information when their building burned down during the 1906 earthquake.

I also reached out to St Louis Worlds Fair sites on the internet, but so far nothing.  At this point the trail goes cold.
