“The exhibition of the progress of a great race through the centuries undoubtedly has great educational and inspirational value and should serve useful purposes in these directions.
“I wish it were possible for me to witness the presentation of this pageant. That, however, is beyond question just now.
“I hope you will extend to all associated with you in this production my very earnest hope that it will meet with every success.”
The pageant is to open Monday eveing for a limited engagement.
