On April 30, 1903, one hundred years to the day after the signing in Paris of the Louisiana Purchase agreement, President Theodore Roosevelt is in St Louis, Missouri, to dedicate the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, which did not open until one year later. In this brief and choppy film, Roosevelt is visible in the center of the front row of a grandstand, which may also be the speaker's platform. He sits, talks to a neighbor, stands as if to salute the crowd, and seems to sit again. (imdb)

We have just received from our operators accompanying President Roosevelt on his great tour of the Pacific Coast, a splendid series of films covering his reception in San Francisco. The weather was all that could be desired, and the films are, therefore, very fine photographically. There are five scenes in all, as follows: 3. President Roosevelt in his carriage, with mounted escort, passing up Market Street. A good picture of the President, and a spirited subject throughout. (imdb)

The best and most characteristic picture of the President ever made. The camera is close by so that every feature shows out sharp and distinct. The President is first seen coming on the stand laughing and shaking hands with friends and being wildly cheered by everybody. Then comes the speech. The President is very enthusiastic and is shown at his best. All his well known mannerisms are very apparent. The picture end with a view of the departure of the President with Mrs. Roosevelt in a carriage. (imdb)

Many people can be seen walking around the yard adjacent to a railway station. A train with several passenger cars pulls up to the station. The camera pans, photographing quite a few people and horse-drawn two- and four-wheeled vehicles. The picture ends as a four-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle approaches the camera position. A coachman sits on the box in the front, and in the seat behind him is president Teddy Roosevelt waving at the crowd.
