Open Air
Opera at the Polo Grounds, Manhattan, will be repeated this Summer: June 19, Carmen; June 24, Aida; July 1, Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci; July 8, Samson and Delilah; and six others. 12,000 seats will be offered at $1 each. The operas will be radiobroadcast.
June 24 and Aida correspond with the opening of the Democratic National Convention in Manhattan. If the delegates do not attend Aida en masse, music lovers may suspect them of being "fit for treasons, spoils and stratagems." There will be 12,000 choice seats for sale at $1, considerably less than a politician need pay for an evening's entertainment elsewhere in Manhattan.
