What happens

Opening of the Pan-American Exposition Showing Vice President Roosevelt Leading the Procession (o Opening of the Pan-American Exposition on May 20, 1901) è un cortometraggio muto del 1901 diretto da James H. White. Viene documentata l'apertura della manifestazione ospitata a Buffalo, nello stato di New York, inaugurata il 20 maggio 1901 con la partecipazione del vice presidente Theodore Roosevelt al posto del presidente McKinley assente a causa di una malattia della moglie. McKinley sarebbe morto quattro mesi più tardi, il 14 settembre, dopo l'attentato di cui era rimasto vittima - sempre a Buffalo - il 6 settembre al Music Building della Pan-American Exposition per mano di Leon Czolgosz.
