r OBFRT EMMETT DOLAN, maestro
Of the Sunday Night Party, makes
a bow toward the control room engi-
neer, who. he says. has much to do
with programs success. He works
hand in hand with c. H Colledge,
engineer in charge. Colledge sits at
the control board, his hands never
leaving the dials. watching Dolan
intently While he conducts his orches-
ira. He is a good musician and is
familiar with the score. After con-
ferrlng with Dolan, he knows Just how
to balance the music and Just when
to turn up the volume and turn it
down, he knows how to pick up an
E. string chorus and how to amplify
an Interpolation on the bass clarinet.
The control room engineer really is
part of the band and Dolan respects
him as such.
