If last night's dress rehearsal

Its reception, the play promises
to be delightfully humorous.
The musical, by the Child

Candy Gaynor, who plays the
swamp princess, evoked contin¬
ual laughter from the audience as
she tried desperately to fall

Tom O'Brien, playing the mute
king, communicated on stage us¬
ing comic pantomime.
Barbara Mendes, as the queen,
and her son Prince Dauntless,
played by Don Smith, both de¬
veloped their characters well.
Most of the songs added to the
play's enjoyment rather than
serving as a distraction, which
often happen* In musicals. Credit
for thl* can be given to good
singing, dancing acoustics and
the accompaniment of pianist
Candy Babolan.

Naturally, no one person is going to "solve" the
energy problem singlehandedly; it's going to take a
lot of concerned people, working together, to even
begin to solve the problems of fuel conservation,
wild life preservation, recycling, smog-free rapid
transit, fume incineration and water purificatioa
The thing is... as concerned as we are about these
problems, and others, at PG&E we don't think
"concern" is enough. The concern has to motivate
action And thafs what we're corning to grips with.
Here-and-now, how-to realities. -
So, if you're a "how-to" person, a person who's
more than an idealistic abstractionist, there may be
an oprx>rtunity for you with us to work toward
solutions to problems that concern you.     c
Sure, we've got the establishment benefits that
make life a little easier to cope with, Uke good pay
and employee benefits. But we've also got the
things that make life worth living. Realistic
