“No tense dark moment in the theatre could withstand Gilbert’s exuberant laughter. With fresh flowers on his lighting desk and cartons of orange juice and grapefruit juice for all who thirsted, Gilbert would send Fred Scott into the pit to play the ‘Star Spangled Banner.’ Everyone stood at attention. And so would every final cue-to-cue rehearsal under Gilbert’s direction begin. ”
