They were the National Convention of the Prohibition Party, that 63-year-old political microcosm which got 5,608 votes in 1872, 271,058 in 1892, 208,923 in 1912, 57,551 in 1924, 20,106 in 1928.

It was an opera week for Cleveland, built up by the same two who, under Impresario Guy Golterman, directed Cleveland's first outdoor opera (for charity) last summer (TIME, Aug. 10): 26-year-old Laurence A. Higgins, and Dr. Ernst Lert, onetime Metropolitan Opera stage director (whose sister-in-law Vicki Baum was in Cleveland last week).
