Those Trains! Although the present-day dresses in the first act of the new musical show "Wonder Bar," at the Savoy Theatre, were ankle-length, those worn in the next — a year later — had 12-inch trains (writes a Londoner). It was interesting to notice at the dress rehearsal how these trains embarrassed the dancers. Several times couples paused while a skirt was draped over the wearer's arm — a difiicult matter, as the heavy satin was of a slippery texture. Five hundred yards of the satin was used for the dresses in this scene. In an amusing parody of the long skirt problem three actresses wore long taffeta frocks fitted with tapes by which the ankle-length hemlines were drawn up to knee length, like Venej tian blinds.
