Absolutely; the Lafayette Hotel is still there on St. Charles. This was shot from the reviewing stands across from Lafayette Square in front of Gallier Hall.

in 1941 blacks werent Aloud to attend then which was sad
-
The theme for Rex that year was "Gems From The Arabian Nights". I've got downloads of Leda Hicks-Plauche's designs for that procession but they're all B/W wash drawings, so it's a treat to see this parade in colour.
-
Rex's colours were pastel, but the floats then seemed to be more artistic overall; more varied in shape and decoration than what you get today. Notice also how they're all single-decked and the riders (6-8) are standing right up on the top level of the carriage (minus whatever superstructure there is), with nothing to stop them from taking a fall onto the pavement.
