About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of His House in Order by Arthur Wing Pinero. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers "A well-meaning second wife is made miserable by the fact that she is continually compared, to her disadvantage, with her predecessor. What may conveniently be called the "theme" is stated clearly by Hilary Jesson, toward the close of the third act: "I declare to you that the happy people I've come across have never been the people who, possessing power, have employed it malevolently or uncharitably." This play achieved a notable success in the theatre, not only in England, but also in the United States; it was acclaimed so way away from London as Milan, where an Italian version ... was acted before enthusiastic audiences. - Summary by Clayton Hamilton, 1919 Cast list: Hilary Jesson, British Minister to the Republic of Santa Guarda: Beeswaxcandle Filmer Jesson, M.
