No snakes in Ireland, eh? Neryda who dances for World’s Fair visitors nightly in the streets of Paris is shown with her eight-foot rock python, defying the ancient superstition by posing in St.Patrick’s chair on exhibition in the Irish village on the exposition grounds. The chair, which ancient legend says is authentic, was brought to the Irish village at the opening of the 1934 Fair from Ireland.
