Opera News conducted a far-from-conclusive survey and found that business and professional men form the largest bloc of the audience, while government officials, writers and editors, and clergymen hardly attend at all.

The most conscientious, like Ernie Ford, spend off-hours playing the local children's hospital, old folks' home, and perhaps the jail. There are command performances at shopping centers and interviews with every 1-kw. disk jockey in the county.
