This film opens with exterior views of Theodore Roosevelt’s birthplace, Roosevelt House, on its dedication day. Bought and restored by the Woman’s Roosevelt Memorial Association, the brownstone is officially opened to visitors on October 27, 1923. There are views of street crowds. The Gloria Trumpeters, four young women in Grecian costume herald the event with trumpet music from the balcony of Roosevelt House. There is a view of William T. Manning, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, who is to deliver an opening prayer. The next scene is of Governor Gifford Pinchot and his wife Cornelia Bryce Pinchot of Pennsylvania, Acting Mayor of New York City, Murray Hulbert, and other unidentified guests arriving.
