E should hate to have Carrie Nation hear of this, but the woek has shown that the drama has taken to drink. The dear old institution is staggering along under an awful load at the Academy, and it's a bit “woozy” at the Murray , Hill. Like the weather these days, it's a matter of degrees. At the Academy they dish you up the “d. t's” and death. At the Mur- ray Hill they give you a taste of the “hang-over,” then lift you high and dry on the regenerating “water wagon.” That’s the difference between Charles, Reade’s “Drink” and Edward \ \ Harrigan's “Under Cover." The difference between crazed Coupeau and! @lish melodrama—for “Drink” is typically English despite its. French i ‘ sensible Boozy Susie. The difference between hopeless and horrible En-! origin—and hopeful, bracing Americanism ‘which ‘find’ expressidn when Owney Gilmartin says to Boozy Susie: “Here's a roll,” handing her a wad of greenbacks. ‘Tog yourself up. Be a sood girl and come and see me.” “Ave a drink—just one—come now!" coax the Cockney tempters, drag- ging Coupeau into a “public.” And when Coupeau hangs off and shakes his head they jeer him with: ee, BBs." Nites, ? Sy stripped of everything. ‘E's afraid of 'is wife, ’e is—'e’s afraid she'd give ‘im a hiding’ ray ~ * .
