...much prefer to have them stay off-stage entirely and leave the principals alone, but this chorus is an added attraction. Hal Skelly dances well, as does Mary Hay, who plays Mary Jane, and does everything else well too, but it is the Keene twins who carry off the Terpsichorean Laurrels.

The faculty has prohibited dancing, but there will be a number of beautiful choral movements in place of the terpsichorean. Eaves of New York has charge of the costuming, which is to be very elaborate. Mr. Shepherd of New Haven, who has long had charge of the training of the Yale glee clubs, is training the chorus...
