Great numbers ot staring children sat in the cheaper seats. They murmured among themselves. For their entertainment, Verdi's Aida was presented, with Marie Rappold as Aida, Tenor Bernardo de Muro (TIME, June 1) as Radames, in the first of a series of open air concerts to be given by the Manhattan Opera Company.
