Candidate Lowden, the determined Farmers' Friend, returned to Chicago after visiting Washington and Manhattan, and indulged in the sport of candidates. He enunciated an Issue.

Mosca, always a step ahead of his miserly master, makes himself Volpone's heir. Not, however, heir to his avarice; Mosca opens Volpone's chest and as the curtain falls he is throwing golden coins, by the handful, out of the window, into the world. Volpone is Dudley Digges. Mosca is Alfred Lunt; out of a flawless cast, he seemed merry and at ease in this old, delicious play...
