He holds the key to the situation in so many instances. Sober of countenance, apparently unyielding, his grufl' No more often means Yes, especially where it is at all possible for him to grant your request, and if you waitiyou will see l1in1 smilevsidewisewand then chuckle-at the temporary consternation he has caused you.

In the dramatic work he has had and still has charge of the building and operation of scenery and stage settings. ln our operettas .loe's contribution has always been in evid.ence.
