Sir John Ves*y, w ose consuming love of money gives the title to the play, awaits the readi of the will of a certain wealthy relative, Mr. Mor- daunt of India, by whose clause he expects a lion's share of the heritage. While awaiting the reading, Alfred Evelyn, Sir John's private secretary and distant poor relation of Mordaunt, solicits a loan of ten pounds that he may send it to an old nurse who is ill. Sir John refuses but his tenderhearted daughter Georgina, asks him forthe nurse's address, promising herself that she will send the money if she falls heiress to the wild Clara, companion of Lady Franklin, and in love with Evelyn, secretly gets the address of the nurse and sends the ten pounds herself, all that she has in the world. That her kind act will not be known to Evelyn, she has Lady Franklin's maid address the letter. Subsequently Evelyn asks Clara to marry him but she unselfish, refuses the poor youth that he may not be made miserable by the additional bur- den of her own support. The will is read before the assem- bled relatives, numbering, Sir John Vesey, Georgina, Lord Glossmore, Stout, Graves, Blount, Sharp, and Evelyn. After several whimsical be- quests are read from the will, it de- velops that the bulk of the immense fortune is left to Evelyn, the poor dis- tant relative who was least expected to fail heir. The newly rich Evelyn begins to be- come miserable. His love has refused him, but he invents a cordicil and settles 20,000 pounds upon her, that she may be made happy, and then he devotes himself to Georgina, the spoil- ed child of a miserly father. For he believes that she sent the ten pounds to his poor sick nurse. Sir Frederick Blount, formerly in love with Geor- gina is about to propose to Clara, and all four seem on a fair way to unhap- piness, when Evelyn invents a new scheme. He refuses to pay his bills, Is seen as a constant companion to Dudley Smooth the cleverest crook and gambler in London, tries to bor- row money and is finally arrested for debt. Sir John in despair tells his daughter to break her engagement with Evelyn, which she does willing- ly, reengaging herself to Blount, the dude. Clara, pitying Evelyn in his adversity places 10,000 pounds to his credit in the bank, sending him notice of the deposit in a letter addressed in. the same handwriting as that of the letter to the old nurse. Lady Frank- lin divulges the fact that both letters were sent by Clara and Evelyn clears everything up to his own satisfaction, his ruse having worked. He has gained his wife and he still has his "Money." NORMAN HACKETT, FATHER OF COMEDY CLUB, TOURS STATE.
