Border, narrow strip of painted cloth, battened at the top edge only, used to hide the top of the stage from the audience. If the lower edge is cut to represent foliage it is known as a Cloud or Tree Border. The use of clouds for masking the top of almost any scene was formerly common (see
CLOUDINGS). In Victorian times plain sky borders were sometimes known as Blues. Tails, or Legs, on a border are long vertically hanging extensions at each end, forming with the border an arch over the scene.
