Berlin Opera Manager
Seldom Seen by Artists

Berlin, Oct. 13--tPl-"Tietjen the
Invisible" is the nickname which
einz Tietjen, general manager of the
Berlin Civic Opera, has acquired
among theatre folks after one year at
the head of the institution.
While his presence is always felt
and no detail seems to escape him,
very few people know him. Even
operate stars OF world fame who sing
as guest performers usually leave the
city without having met the man
who, in the last analysis. is respon-
sible for their presence.
Tietjen's tactic is that Of keeping
aloof from the petty squabbles that
are an inseparable part OF theatre
life and to devote himself entirely TO
the big problems of management.
