For the occasion the delighted composer had been granted leave of absence from the California State Junior College where he teaches dramatics. His curtain calls sent thrills down his spine. He has written nine operas and the only other one to be produced was a comic thing called The Farmerettes, put on by the Hollywood High School in 1933.
