- FEATURES
- The soaring superstructure of Johnson's Golden Rondelle Theatre is a graceful white form made up of six 90-foot columns topped by expansive petals that arch inward to form a partial canopy. A golden disc, 90 feet in diameter and containing an air-conditioned theatre, is suspended from the six columns 24 feet over a sunken reflecting pool.

- In the Golden Rondelle Theatre, the popular film "To Be Alive" is shown. The film uses the "Tri-Arc 335" process of projection; incorporating 3 synchronized projectors and 3 wide screens arranged in a sweeping arc. The movie, filmed on location in a number of overseas countries and in many communities in the United States, portrays the joys and wonders of life, commmon to people the world over.
- In the home care information center, questions on home care are answered by an electronic computer. Visitors receive free shoe shines from a battery of high-speed automatic shoe polishing machines. The children's "fun machine" is essentially a walk-through toy where yongsters find such things as cranks, levers and buttons that activate surprise mechanisms, noise-makers and other entertaining devices. The exhibit contains a VIP room for visiting executives.
