The theme of the fair was split into different zones: Transportation, Communications and Business, Food, and the Government Zone. There was also the Billy Rose Aquacade, a musical and water show that starred Johnny Weissmuller and Eleanor Holm. Of special note in the World's Fair was the "Trylon and Perisphere", which were two giant structures side by side, connected by an escalator. The Perisphere contained a diorama showing "The World of Tomorrow". These two structures became the symbol of the World's Fair, and the image of the two structures (in blue and orange) were put on licensed products advertising the World's Fair (it was one of the most licensed events ever, with over 25,000 different products created, from teaspoons to tables, and everything imaginable!).
