The Fortune Hunter - Winchell Smith - Bog

""The Fortune Hunter"" is a humorous play in four acts, written by Winchell Smith and first published in 1909. The play revolves around the character of Horace Hunter, a young man who is obsessed with marrying a wealthy woman in order to secure his financial future. He sets his sights on the wealthy and beautiful Mrs. Chichester, who is already engaged to the wealthy but dull Mr. Vanderdyke. Horace, with the help of his friend, the scheming Mr. Bates, sets out to win Mrs. Chichester's heart and fortune. However, things become complicated when Horace falls in love with Mrs. Chichester's niece, the penniless but charming Miss Betty Annesley. The play is a witty and satirical commentary on social climbing and the pursuit of wealth and status.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
