...resound 54 years later. The book is about belief in what you can't see, fidelity to a cause that others think is ridiculous, and community service to reach an improbable goal. We're all in this together, Seuss says; everyone's important. Or, as Horton puts it: "A person's a person, no matter how small...
...bird, a Peter Lorre fish (that commits suicide!) and the Horace Heidt novelty hit "The Hut Sut Song." Even the more restrained Jones ended his Horton with a twist on a twist of John Philip Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever." The cast sings, "Be kind to your small-person friends," a variation on the "Be kind to your web-footed friends" chorus from "Crazy Mixed-Up Song," a novelty hit of the '50s performed by two other stars of Dr. T, Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy.

...eminence of pop culture, and the random nature - and transience - of fame. Hollywood A-listers, sports people and British royals hog the limelight. There are 400-odd figures on show, but all scientific endeavor is represented by Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, Charles Darwin, Isambard Kingdom Brunel and TIME's Person of the Century, Albert Einstein, who share a small annex with Vincent Van Gogh, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Oscar Wilde. In the dim light of the first gallery, it looks as if Ivana Trump has made the grade. Closer inspection reveals the figure to be British actress Joanna Lumley...
