This group is exceptionally fortunate in having access to professional lighting equipment and settings, and striking effects are promised. Mr. Zutto is acting as president and director of the group, Mrs. H. Zutto as production manager while Miss Helen Lind is secretary and Bernard Wasserman assistant director.
