I was handed a program and casually sTroIIed up To an usher. HExcuse me, where are The people who don'T have reserved seaTs sup- posed To siT? I inquired. The poor usher had no idea. Oh well, if she couldn'T usher, maybe crowd conTroI was her purpose. She Told me her job was To guard The door. Never- Theless, Things in The Leo J. Fick audiTo- rium seemed To be running quiTe smooTth. Finally The IighTs dimmed and Gypsy began.
