Miss Durkee Says
(Continued from page one)
one of the reasons why Mr. Rob
inson gets things done.”
The picture of calm, efficient
and unruffled most of the time,
Dorothy occasionally lets up and
takes a nap on the drama studio
couch. ‘‘Oh, I am responsible to
Mr. Robinson, and then I take
care of lots of the mechanical
things and organizing,” she said.
This assistant manager is re
luctant to talk about herself, and
constantly bursts out with some
new angle of “the show.” “Real
ly, you’d be surprised—it’s really
professional in lots of ways, and
we’ve got a large budget, so the
stage craft is really going to
town. You should see those stairs
Jim Bronson built; they go clear
above the balcony seat level for
the Capitol scene.”
Then she turned to serenely an
swer the fifth telephone call and
listen to the woes of the third
visitor in the last half hour.
