VALUE OF PAGEANTRY
-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION. "The -publicity for the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition has mentioned the prospect of spectacular pageantry, for which the Dominion’s history offers plenty of scope," says the Hon W. E. Parry, Minister of Internal Affairs in the "New Zealand Centennial News." It is recognised that the Exhibition alone, excellent as it promises to be may not be sufficient to induce large numbers of people to make journeys of thousands of miles. Therefore the publicity has linked this great national enterprise with the world-famed scenic assets of New Zealand and with the Centennial celebrations of various districts, so that prospective visitors have the assurance of very interesting itineraries, in addition 1o the Exhibition. "Obviously, any district which offers the certainty of good pageantry and other celebrations worthy of the Centennial can look forward with confidence to visits of numerous New Zealanders as well as folk from overseas. Even the element of self-interest should induce the districts to show their history in dramatic pageantry. For this purpose the advice of the Department's Director of Pageantry is readily available.”
