Niobe, All Smiles is a farcical comedy play written by Harry Paulton and published in 1904. The play is set in the early 1900s and follows the story of Niobe, a wealthy and beautiful woman who is constantly pursued by men. Niobe is known for her charming smile and her ability to manipulate men to get what she wants.The play is divided into three acts and is filled with humorous situations and witty dialogue. The first act introduces the characters and sets the stage for the rest of the play. Niobe is introduced as a confident and flirtatious woman who is pursued by several men, including her ex-husband, her current lover, and a wealthy businessman.In the second act, the plot thickens as Niobe's ex-husband tries to win her back, and her current lover becomes jealous. Niobe must use her charm and wit to navigate the situation and keep all of her suitors happy.The final act is filled with chaos as all of Niobe's suitors converge on her home at the same time. Niobe must use all of her cunning to keep them from discovering each other and causing a scene.Overall, Niobe, All Smiles is a hilarious play that pokes fun at the societal norms of the time and the power dynamics between men and women.
