Coronation
Is Under Way
George VI and Queen
Elizabeth Give Banquet
For Guests
London, May 10.—(UP) - The pomp and splendor of the million-dollar spectacle revolving around King George VI's coronation opened officially when the 41-year-old monarch and his Scottish queen entertained 450 guests at a state banquet in Buckingham Palace.
The "curtain raiser" of the world's most extravagant pavement page had its setting in the palace's white and gold ballroom—120 feet long and 60 feet wide—that was built for Queen Victoria.
His commoner queen, Elizabeth sat beside him. She wore a gown gold brocade and a diamond tiara.
The monarch wore the gold braid and epaulets of an admiral of the British fleet.
The King, showing no sign of weariness after a hectic day of fine dress rehearsals and last-minute preparations for Wednesday's ceremony, sat at the head of a large table charting amiably with guests, gathered from every corner of the world to meet him homage.
Halfway down the room sat Jam W. Gerard, former U. S. ambassador to Germany and one of Preside Roosevelt's official envoys to t coronation. He wore tight-fitted knee pants made to measure in Enland "because American tailors can make good clothes."
The other U. S. representative Gen. John J. Pershing, was respled dent in his $600 General Grant u form.
The state banquet moved smooth in contrast to the earlier events of t day, when police reserves had to t days to westminster Abbey to protect the king and queen after th were almost mobbed by a jubil throng that smashed down gul lines.
