Since it's being done almost entirely by inexperi enced people, this is little short of miraculous. Whittaker chose Lefty because of its political importance today. Dealing as it does with labor un rest in general and the effects of depression on labor's interest in communism, he felt it to be ideal for production at this time. The show will be done almost without scenery, the effects being secured by the use of light in stead of sets, thus giving an im pressionistic flavor to the produc tion. John Lubes will be light manager, and all the complex job of lighting will be upon his shoul ders. be achieved by council control.
