...which populous Order do the Knights of Miss Anne Ford belong? The cruciform decoration looks very natty...
Backdrop for Stars. Hialeah was built by a man who has long served Florida's spiritual needs rather than its sporting habits. Church Architect Lester W. Geisler (he designed the million-dollar First Presbyterian Church on Miami's Brickell Avenue and the 18-acre, cruciform drive-in Pasadena Community Church at St. Petersburg). At Hialeah, a dignified formal park stretches to the $2.5 million clubhouse. Not until he rides in an escalator into a profusion of bars, restaurants and pari-mutuel windows does the visitor get a glimpse of the track itself, which is framed by hedges...

Architect Gsaenger's proposal: a stark, clean-lined, oblong structure, to hold 1,000 worshipers and cost only 2,500,000 marks (about $595,000).

Inside, Architect Gsaenger plans to erect movable steel and glass partitions, separating the church proper from an adjoining community center seating...
...trouble, it produces far more spectacles than spells. Spectacle No. i is a fair example. In the midst of a gloomy, Golgotha-like landscape, cluttered with ruffians and sinister twisted trees, a poor gypsy lad is about to be blinded with hot irons. Suddenly a portentous cruciform light appears around the torture stake, and aided by a swarm of brother gypsies, the boy escapes. Later, he grows up to be the fabulous Count Cagliostro (Orson Welles), intimate of princes and instrument of weird hypnotic powers...
