Albery, James (1838–89), English dramatist, whose ‘decayed gentleman’ Digby Grant in Two Roses (1870) provided Henry Irving with one of his first successes in London. Most of Albery's other plays, mainly taken from the French, were intended as vehicles for his wife Mary Moore (later Lady Wyndham), the best of them being probably The Pink Dominoes (1877) and The Crisis (1878), the latter based on Augier's Les Fourchambaults.
