His intimates will tell you that his aloof reserve and unapproachableness, which qualities are so valuable in handling high-strung singers, are rooted in shyness, that the. man is a bookworm, with the sensitive timidity of his kind. Gatti began his life as a civil engineer. He has a first-rate mind, with all the shrewd subtlety that one attributes to Italians. He distinctly has the grand manner. It is this, perhaps, that makes him reluctant to talk...
