; Ernest Woolff built a miniature (rod) puppet opera in the basement of his
; Chicago home, with the help of his mother , Esther. Their invention was
; patented August 17, 1943  Patent #2,327,234. The pictorial diagram is shown
 on page 348 in Paul McPharlin's THE PUPPET THEATRE IN AMERICA, but to get
; the explanatory text, you need to check the rest of the patent.
; Ernest did mini opera for RCA's World Fair exhibit. When he joined the U.S.
; Navy, the puppets were installed at the Kungsholm Restaurant's lovely puppet
 theater where they became a major tourist attraction. Many other puppeteers
; built similar rod puppets for Kungsholm, some with added improvements. Some
 were built in the basement of puppeteer Ruth Hill's family home, where many
; Chicago Puppet Guild meetings and a marionette stage shared space. As a
 visiting puppeteer, I even slept there a few times. Ruth had an act that traveled to entertain  for Dempseys Miss American Teenager pageants and Texas CowGirl and Harlem Quens basketball games. Her mrinettes were 4 ffet tall including Pearl Baily and Carol Channing in a Hello Dolly rendition.

Cam Fong was judge at Dempseys Teen Pageant in Atlanta, The FBI became involved removing Dempseys daughters to safety from a bus on the way to meet with Hank Arron at an Atlanta Braves Game. His sons got cleared to go.
