early support and advice on locating designers
and renderings. I am also deeply indebted to
Judy and David Adamson for food and lodg-
ing and all the support and amenities that good
friends provide.

Finally, I need to express my gratitude to
my husband, Gordon J. Ferguson, for his endless
patience and assistance throughout the course
of this project-I could not have done it without
him.

This book is dedicated to all costume de-
signers, especially those whose names are not
credited in playbills. Their's is an art which de-
serves more notice, praise, and acknowledgment
from everyone.
