Arrival of the King and Queen of England at the 1939 World's Fair.
Municipal Broadcast Company reporters follow the King and Queen of England as they travel from the USS Washington** to Pier One to the West Side Highway and Grand Central Parkway as they head to the 1939 World's Fair.

The program consists of reports from the scene by WNYC reporters and police dispatches leading the royal entourage, both anchored by reporters in WNYC's studio in the Municipal Building in downtown New York, and is interspersed with regal marches during gaps in the otherwise continuous report.

Note: There are gaps in coverage due to the use of a single record cutting machine.
