Merton of the Movies

By Harry Leon Wilson (1 867-1 939)

Merton of the Movies is a comedy that centers around Merton Gill, an aspiring dramatic artist from
Simsbury, Illinois who makes his way to Hollywood to become a serious actor. How could Merton
fail in attaining his dreams after finishing a correspondence course from the General Film
Production Company of Stebbinsville, Arkansas, certifying him to be a competent screen actor?

Harry Leon Wilson, the author, was a very popular humor writer in the first decades of the 20th
century. This book was made into film several times, the last in 1947 starring Red Skelton.
