Frank r. Lamb The announcement OF
visit from Mr. Drew is an extremely
welcome one. Wherever he appears he
never fails to attract the most judicious
and representative lovers of the thea
ter. He has the remarkable record for
star Of never having had a failure,
and so there is considerable significance
in the statement that 1.-THE Tyranny OF
Tears" Is the most successful play OF
his career, not even excepting Rose
mary" Of delightful memory. The
story of 1.-The Tyranny of Tears" is ex-
tremely interesting, and may thus be
briefly outlined. Mr.. and Mrs. Tar
bury love each other devotedly. Prior
to his marriage, the husband has been
manly man of the world-"a mans
man." with a wealth of masculine
friends. Mrs. Parbury wants him all
to herself, Immediately following the
tying Of the nuptial knot. This much
she gains by appealing to his love for
her and by an ever-ready propensity to
tears. She weeps his male friends
away from him and cannot agree with
their wives. Having learned the value
of tears as lever to gain her ends
she opens her lachrymal ducts when
even there is the slightest danger of not
getting her own way. This goes on for
five years until, at her instance Mr.
Parbury has given up his clubs been
deprived Of his friends, had his self
respect undermined, his strength turn
ed to weakness, the heartiness taken
from his nature-until, In brief, his is
literally tear-tyrannized and decidedly
yond safe bounds; she uses her power
unwisely and the victim rebels. The
visit of an old but cynical chum nearly
brings this about, but the climax comes
when, through jealousy Mrs. Parbury
tries to deprive her husband of most
valuable secretary and typewriter of
her own sex. What happens thereafter
is told in the most enjoyable manner
enjoyable to the audience while all
seems misery on the stage. 1.-THE
