CLEVELAND TO HAVE OPEN-AIR GRANDOPERA Popular Priced Festival in Giant Stadium to Aid Milk Fund. By Bcrippt-Hotcaril Newspaper Alliance CLEVELAND, June 5.—A week of open air grand opera at popular prices will be presented at the new Cleveland Stadium, July 28 to Aug. 3, on a scale of magnificence which will make opera history. Production will be under the direction of Guy Colterman of St. Louis and New York, who founded St. Louis’ municipal open-air theater in 1917 and produced a series of open-air grand opera performances which made the theater Internationally famous. The Cleveland Civic Summer Opera Company, which is being - founded here, is sponsored by The Cleveland Press, a Scripps-Howard newspaper. To Press’ Milk Fund Proceeds will go to The Press’ milk fund for needy school children, but the festival is not designed primarily to support the fund. The purpose is to make opera produced in the grand manner available to every purse. The average admission price will be sl. The festival will open with the most elaborate production of “Aida” ever organized. Agreements have been signed between representatives of The Press, the city of Cleveland and Colterman, culminating months of nego- ■ tiations. Colterman already has started work on the production of the festival. 100-Piece Orchestra Twenty artists from the Metropolitan Opera Company and the Chicago Civic Grand Opera Company will take leading places in the Cleveland company. Three conductors, premier ballet dancers, ballet and chorus masters, and techni.cal staffs will be similarly recruited. An orchestra of 100 pieces will be built around members of the Cleveland Symphony orchestra. A chorus of 300 singers will be trained by Giacomo Spadoni, for fifteen years assistant conductor and choral director of the Chicago Civic and Ravinia Opera Companies, who already is on the scene and has begun his tryouts. The ballet will be directed by Rita De Leporte, premier danseuse of the Metropolitan, who is expected here in a few days. UFE~SAVED BY WATCH: CARRIES IT 10 YEARS Tennessean Guards Timepiece Broken by Dynamite Cap Blast. MEMPHIS, June 5.—A. C. Miller’s proudest possession is a watch which he has carried for the past ten years despite the fact that it doesn’t run. Miller was carrying the watch several years ago when a dynamite fuse exploded in his hand. The watch, worn in his vest pocket underneath his overcoat, was flattened out by the force of the blast but physicians said it saved his life. Since that time he always has carried it.

BY BEN STERN “T CAN see quite plainly that Democratic sentiment in Indiana is for Governor Roosevelt.” Thus spoke Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, himself an outstanding contender for the Democratic presidential nomination, in a chat at French Lick with one of the state organization chieftains. If Ritchie had labored under any doubt concerning sentiment among party leaders before he came into Indiana, he was disillusioned speedily. It appeared as if the Democratic state officials and workers fell all over themselves to meet and greet Roosevelt. a a a Despite the injunctions against discriminating in favor of any presidential timber, Fred E. Barrett, former president of the Indiana Democratic Club gave a breakfast Sunday morning in honor of Roosevelt To be sure the New York executive did not attend, but the intent and purpose of the breakfast had been broadcast over the nation. Then when Roosevelt arrived at French Lick he immediately became the center of attraction for party leaders. For one thing, this adulation of Roosevelt was not “smart” politics and already expressions of regret are being heard. Commitments at so early a date always suffer a reaction. # t* u Try as they did and will to hide their discontent with the reception given Roosevelt and the comparative slighting of themselves, both Ritchie and George White of Ohio, also a contender, resent it. Rumors from the conference declared that the Ohio Governor expressed himself along these lines to confidants and friends. Yet it is surprising how the Democratic talk at the conference was concerned only with the New Yorkers and with Newton D. Baker of Ohio. None of the farm group spokesmen in the party visited Roosevelt. True, they did not visit other seekers for the presidency at the meeting. And this, in itself, in the opinion of the observers, is deeply significant. The agriculturists are looking elsewhere for a Moses, not among the Governors present.
