Feature chorus.s In 9Th. Poppy Trail"

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 years comedy will far surpass those of the last two years in hniah. plot 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 Trair' this year are as unusual as they are numerous.
 There VIII be ten choruses, each of which Is to have very appropriate cos tune. The Detective Chorus" is a take off on the popular idea of a modern Sherlock Holmes. The Basket Chorus is a very colorfuI one, each girl holding a large basket filled with fruits of all coIors-
 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- CTS will make up the costume. An anus ing chorus of American Girls and Ting a Ling Girls will make a pleasant con trast to the American and Chinese cos tunes. The "Follies Chorus" Is to be represented In Black and White, which will be odd. but not as odd as bizarre "Futurist Chorus" which 1t is useless to attempt to describe. A Chorus of Cooies will have little orange jackets and orange lanterns A ''Vanity Fair Chorus" will have the inevitable Harlequin and Pier cite, but done in unusual colors- 4 great deal of study and time has been expended on the coStuming which will undoubtedly show the results of the careful study of the Chinese Dress.
