Does anyone of you Bodhltians (Bodholtites?) remember concerts at the stadium?
The following is taken from this past Sunday's The Start Ledger article about the Griffith Piano company and Mrs. Griffith.
"One of her first organizational efforts was the Essex County Symphony Society, started in 1935 with the help of dozens of New Jersey women's clubs.
The society sponsored inexpensive concerts at Schools Stadium in Newark both up to and after World War II, regularly drawing audiences of more than 20,000. The shows featured artists and orchestras who had distinguished themselves on the international stage, Paul Robeson and Paul Whiteman among them."
