Description Sometimes it is a mistake to (1) grow old, and (2) not to possess sufficient means to endear you to those who are near and should be dear. In this play we find that "Pop", once a man of great stature, has become most unpopular with his daughter-in-law because of his age and inability to do much for himself.
