Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the early 1900s, immersing us in the world of New York City's upper middle class through a delightful comedy of errors. The story revolves around Frank Perry, a stockbroker with a secret past as an actor and a penchant for late-night escapades. When his wife, Eva, returns from a trip, she's thrilled to learn he's finally fulfilled her wish of becoming a Freemason. However, Frank's membership is a complete fabrication, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and near-disasters as he attempts to maintain the charade. The author skillfully weaves together themes of societal expectations, family dynamics, and the lengths people will go to for love and acceptance. The play explores the complexities of marriage and the challenges of navigating relationships with in-laws, particularly mothers-in-law with strong personalities. Through witty dialogue and farcical situations, the book sheds light on the timeless struggle to balance personal desires with the pressures of conformity, ultimately revealing that honesty, even when it's messy, is often the best policy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
