Under Cover

 
 

Under Cover (1914), a play by Roi Cooper Megrue. [ Cort Theatre, 349 perf.] A man known as Steven Denby (William Courtenay) has smuggled a valuable necklace into the country, then hides it in his room at the home of friends he is visiting. Inspector Daniel Taylor (De Witt C. Jennings) is determined to retrieve the jewels and threatens to jail the sister of Denby's fiancée, Ethel Cartwright (Lily Cahill), for a crime the sister inadvertently committed if Ethel does not help trap Denby. Appearing to walk into the trap, Denby turns the tables by disclosing his real identity and the significance of the jewels. A tautly made thriller, it used the then novel device of having much of the action of the fourth act take place while the action of the third act was supposedly going on.
