The play comes into New York with a company whose members are thor- oughly settled in their parts, which gives the performance an unusual certainty and finish, Mr. William Courtenay as the hero has a delightfully actory réle to which he contributes just the right amount of picturesque artificiality. Lily Cahill, bar certain exasperating elocu- tionary tricks, is agreeable to look upon and shows good discretion in not availing herself of the tempting opportunities to be over-emotional. Mr. Wilfred Dray- cott brings his man-of-the-world quali- ties to a rdle in which the author has rather exaggerated the humorous possi- bilities of a fondness for cocktails. Lucile Watson, as the woman-of-the worldly wife of this bibulous husband, shows that our local managers, in casting their plays, have been overlooking the capabilities of a very finished comedienne who ought to be seen here more promi nently and frequently than she has been. Mr. De Witt C. Jennings, as the leading customs officer, needs only horns, hoo! and a tail to be just exactly what some in the audience would doubtless think a perfect reproduction of what he assumes to be. The remainder of the cast is well chosen, As a rule, New York is not the least bit hampered in its judgment of a play by its success or failure elsewhere, but the fact that “Under Cover” has had a long and successful run, even in Boston, does not seem likely to prevent its doing the same thing here.
