I agree.Page 4 Sennes had conceived the startling innovation of presenting artfully undraped lovelies from Paris for the first time on an American stage. Conscious of the showgoing public's sensitivity to nudism in those days, Frank was anxious to present his semi-nude chorines as artfully and tastefully as possible. This patently called for the most flattering lighting the electronics age could provide. No equipment adequate to the task at hand was then available. So, with the approval of Sennes and director Donn Arden, White designed and built from scratch a giant cilicon rectifier light control board, first such device to be used successfully. Subsequently he built a new facility, a lighting control console. This exceedingly versatile apparatus permits White to paint a portrait in light on the stage. Just as an artist is able to paint all the colors of the rainbow.on canvas with oils, the console enables White to create a beautiful picture on stage by means of multi-colored lights. This not only built aesthetic values for the show but creates added excitement for each production number. It also facilitates a smoother and more effective transition of moods through light colors and intensities. White also created a new sound system consisting of FM wireless microphones through which each performer with a speaking or singing role becomes in effect a walking radio station. A mike concealed on the performer's person broadcasts signals which are picked up by a receiver in the control room and fed into the sound system.
