E. E. Clive's excellent company of English caricaturists have all the material they need in Leslie Howard's farce of "Murray Hill." Two old maids with an attractive unmarried niece, a drunken nephew from Chicago and his impersonator from Princeton make the wheels spin around until one of the older ladies goes on a prolonged tear with the nephew, the impersonator is engaged to the niece, and the old family lawyer makes appropriate motions of merriment and despair at the goings-on in the dignified house on Murray Hill.
Each of the company makes his cartoon figure not only comic but human, and helps carry through a farce which is only fairly good into a very pleasant evening. When the spinster motif is over-worked or the thin ice cracks it is plainly not the actor's but the author's fault. The audience was sprinkled with portions of the British Navy, who remarked truly and in accents worthy of Roland Young that it was a jolly good show; and if it is not so good as "The Ghost Train" it may run even longer. The unmarried ladies, as well as the sailors, seemed to enjoy it.
