Three members of the HTW are also in the cast, which brings to mind a comparison between this production and those of the Theater Workshop.

Dumaine, an old hand at finding gold in depleted tills,* bought control and resurrected Waltham. To make Waltham pay off, he dropped the designing department, and grudged every nickel spent on advertising, thus let the name be drowned out by younger companies. After cashing in on war contracts, Dumaine sold out in 1944 to Ira Guilden, ex-vice president of the Bulova Watch Co. and former brother-in-law of Watchmaker Arde Bulova...
