and upon his care depends much OF the smooth
ness OF tho performance. The head property man
must engage and marshal his assistants, and is re-
sponsible for their good behavior. The greatest
trouble he has is keeping them quiet. They must
walk quickly. but quietly, and they must not chat

Is the matter OF weight Even in such articles as
