work. Even in the case of an un-
trained man, he estimates, a six
months course would equip him for
such work in a majority of cases.
Regarding possible objections on the
part Of the musicians union, Mr.. Hay
man says that he does not believe
that such objections would be forth
coming, in view of the patriotic nature
Of the work. 1t would not be the
intention, he says, to supplant the
present orchestras entirely. Obviously
there are some instruments which
could not be played by wounded men,
and accordingly the plan would be to
replace a certain number of men with
the wounded after the latter had been
duly admitted to the union.
If other theatrical managers express
Willingness to go through with the
plan, Mr.. Hayman says definite steps
to establish the training school will
probably be taken immediately.
