Notes
Many auditors fled the stadium immediately before intermission due to an inundation of rain. The orchestra (Philharmonic) cancelled the rest of the program, but the Hall Johnson Choir remained and sang through the rain to a smaller audience (according to multiple news articles from agencies such as The Herald, published on 24 July 1928), finishing their program with at least three encores. We have assumed that the New York Times writer did not witness the continuation of this concert through the rain.
