Wbea They're Throwing Pies Again, Merton Discovers Yes sir. they're really throwing pies again in the moYies. And custard pies. at that. Glenn Hunter made a sad discovery at the Paramount West Coast studios, namely and to wit: that custard pies are just as sticky as they look. It took Hunter ten minutes to get all the custard out of his eyes, and he bad to put on a complete new facial make-up. James Cruze. noted Paramount producer who made "Merton of the Movies" with Hunter in the starring role and Viola Dana featured, wrote the scene into the script on the spur of the moment. He decided that Hunter, as the awkward. small-town "Merton" foot loose and fancy free in Hollywood, should wander into a comedy set where Miss Dana was working just in time to receive the pic hurled by a cross-eyed villain. "Now!" shouted Cruze as Merton got in line. Three stage hand nonchalantly mopped up the mangled remains of the custard pie. "Merton of the Movies," now playg at McVickers Theatre, features Viola Dana in the cast. Among others are Ethel Wales, Charles Ogle, Luke Cosgrave and DeWitt Jennings. oUheater remember: That Nokol is sold on a written guarantee.
