Feature Choruses In “The Poppy Trail” Choruses of the “Poppy Trail” the Connecticut college play to be given in this city, will make & hit. It is no se- cret that this- year's comedy will far surpass those of the last two years in finish, piot and music. The score was ‘written by four college girls who have majored in music since entering Con- necticut college. The comedy choruses for the “Poppy Trall” this year are as unusual as they are_numerous. There will be ten choruses, each of which !s to have a very appropriate cos- | tume. The “Detective Chorus” is a take- off on the popular idea of a modemn Sherlock Holmes, The “Basket Chorus” 18 @ very colorful one, each girl holding a large basket filled with fruits of all colors. One of the most stunning choruses will be “The Peaches,” gorgeous gowns, gold, shot with green and blue, with headdress and a train of peacock feath- ers will make up the costume. An amus- ing chorus of American Girls and Ting 2 Ling Girls will make a pleasant con- tumes. The “Follies Chorus” is to be represented in Black and White, which will be odd, but not as 0dd as bizarre “Futusist Chorus” which it is useless to attempt to describe. A Chorus of Coolies will have little orange jackets and orange lanterns. A “Vanity Falr Chorus” will have the inevitable Harlequin and Pier- ette, but done in unusual colors. A great deal of study and time has been expended on the costuming which will undoudtedly show the results of the careful study of the Chinese Dress.
