GROUPS IN KATCHA KOO
The groups in Katcha Koo make a very picturesque
backgi'ound for the principal characters of the play.
Many nationalities are represented and also periods in
American liistoiy. Tlie costumes make a colorful, effect
ive display, and the theme of the play is added to by
the songs and dances of the choruses.
One of the most attractive groups is the Veil Dancers.
The costumes have enough to them and make a striking-
picture. One of their inunber will do a solo dance, which
adds even greater beauty, if it be possible.
The quaint Old Lang- Syne groiqi is just like the pic
ture its name calls to mind. Charming and pretty, it
brings back memories of the old school days “when I
went to school with you.”
The dance executed by the Polo Group is very difficult
to perform. This dance represents the galop of horses
and winds up with the boys as horses, the girls’ parasols
as wheels and one member driving the carriage thus
formed.
The guests of Mrs. Gaddin give a dance with Katcha
Koo, the main character.
Italians, Chinese, Belgians, Yankee Dixies, Dutch,
English Jackies, French girls and Oriental ladies, each
give attractive dances that represent their country.
One hundred and fiifty little tots form the Columbian
group and make a beautiful scene for the Statue of Lib
erty to grace.
Sammies, slaves and priests complete the list of chor-
■uses.
To teach this great number of choruses was a stupend
ous undertaking, but under the directions of Miss Heber-
Ung, the dances and songs have been taught so well that
each chorus is attractive and pleasing.
THE PLAY’S THE
THING
Kantchu kum to Katchy
Koo? If you don’t you will
miss all the fun. If you come
you -will see the show of your
life. You will see the be
witching Addie Brown do
ing a fascinating Oriental
dance; a great multitude of
beautiful girls, magnificent
ly gowned; handsome Hu
bert Rawlins doing the la
test step; a bevy of graceful
boys. And you’ll hear music
—music that will make you
think you’re in dreamland-
music that will lull you to
sleep, and music that will
make you want to dance.
And you’ll see acting—home
talent that’s got profession
al beat a mile.
Sure, the play’s the thing!
Let’s all go to Katchy Koo?
KATCHA KOO—THE PLAY
i Brilliant settings and costumes, good singing and danc
ing, pretty girls and funny jokes characterize Katcha Koo.
Part of the costumes and settings are Oriental, as the
'name implies, yet part of the scenes are laid in America
giving variety to the play. The costumes are many and
varied, and bright colors predominate.
The talent is the best to be found in the state. Choruses
from G. C. and N. C. C. W. sing and dance all through
the play; also choruses from the High School do brilliant
work. Chief among these is the Veil Dancers with Miss
Addie Brown, the king’s favorite dancer, as the soloist.
Variety is the spice of the play. The next chorus in im
portance is just the opposite to the Veil Dancers. This
group is the Old Lang Syne, and they do a clever little
boy and girl song and dance. There are French, Belgian,
Dutch, Jacky and Chinese groups w'hose costumes and
dances add to the color and the life of the play.
The people who take the leading parts are absolutely
the best singers and cleverest dancers that the state af
fords. Miss Jennie Brittian, well known for the parts she
has taken in home talent plays, has a leading role.
The voices are splendid; no amateur work there; in
fact, all the leading characters are not amateurs but have
had a good deal of experience.
All the choruses are going to be exceedingly well
trained under the direction of Miss Heberling, represent
ing John B. Rogers Producing Company. Rehearsals, are
ping forward every afternoon at the Woman’s Club. It
is going to be a colorful, clever and thoroughly amusing
play; something really worth while.
