Ernest Wolff, the 25-year-old director and former student of language and music at the University of Chicago, is doing in miniature what he hopes someday to do on a large scale—direct an opera company. When he was 10 years old, his mother took him to see Carmen. Soon he had carved puppets for a presentation of Carmen. Other operas were added. He was so interested in opera that he treked off to New York where he worked as a waiter and chef in a restaurant in order to attend the Metropolitan, In Chicago he presented his puppets as the Chicago Miniature Opera Co. and finally went to the New York World's Fair last year to supervise construction of the operas which were presented at the Gas Industries Exhibit. He hopes to take the troupe to Italy in 1942 for the Italian Exposition, that is if the performances would not have to be given in the ruins of war,
