was good denl in evidence yesterday.
Ten years ago, he narrated, he, Miss

He said that last night he took a friend

wasn't at all experienced when I wrote
that skit-it was ten years ago." and he
repeated his apology for the little piece
after the curtain rose. 1t was during
the lines of one of the most exciting
situations, just after AIDE had made one
of his explanations about having writ
