I find no record that President Roosevelt attended the opening of the St Louis Exposition/St. Louis World's Fair -- April 30, 1904. He was present at the dedication one year previously -- on the centennial of the signing of the Louisiana Purchase (Paris, April 30, 1803). The IMDb contains a title that links to the Library of Congress's on-line library of films -- you can see Roosevelt at the dedication in 1903. However, if Roosevelt didn't attend the opening of the St. Louis Exposition in 1904, how could there be a film about it -- unless Teddy was the original Zelig? Anyone know anything more about this film? I think the trivia entry calling its existence into question is accurate. (There's another problematic title in IMDb "Roosevelt Dedication at Lewis and Clark Exposition" 1904. I think that film is apocryphal too.)
