Money Barons and Alonzo in the Modern Fable
In this George Ade spoof set in a metropolis, a wealthy magnate with a secret past clashes with Alonzo the small-town rival, a former assistant head waiter who exposes him. The tale mocks class pretensions, finance culture, and urban elitism through sharp caricature and sly irony.
