Born into affluence in high-society Boston, Herbert Pelham Curtis followed his father into the law and later entered military service. Along the way, he turned to literary pursuits as a hobby, first translating a number of works, and later penning his own original creations. The short play "e;None So Deaf As Those Who Won't Hear"e; is an uproarious parlor comedy that delves into the crossed wires and communication misfires that can often occur in families.
