Miss Hazel MacKaye, pageant director, said of the pageant in the Garden of Gods: “Only a noble idea is worthy of being interpreted in that awe-inspiring-spot.” A chorus of 500 women’s voices accompanied the presentation of the pageant. Mrs. Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, President of the organization, made an address in which she said: ” I would not say in so many words that marriage is a failure but it seems to me that statistics speak for themselves.”
