Excerpt from The Tyranny of Tears: A Comedy in Four Acts
Of this performance Mr. J. Ranken Towse, in the New York Evening Post, says: Mr. Drew played Parbury with his accustomed neatness and dexterity. The play, perhaps, may not be quite highly seasoned enough with dramatic incident for the great mass of the public, but its ingenuity, its simplicity, its truthfulness and its humor will commend it strongly to connoisseurs.
It was afterwards given in the principal cities of the United States with Mr. Drew as the victimized husband, and met everywhere with the same enthusiastic favor. This year, 1902, the play was done into German by Bertha Pozson, and it has been given with extraordinary success throughout the German Empire.
