,November 9, 1928 WILMETTE LIF·E New Trier Drama Stars to Present ~A-1 erton of Movies' By M. B. "You're an awtully nice boy, Merton, out 1 guess you're just a little crazy:" Mr. G~shwiler, owner am.l propnetor of Gashw1ler's General store, summed up Merton Gill's case and contessed himself stumped in those words. Anyone who was so fond of the movies as to tmitate the stars, and who wanted to go to Hollywood to become an actor was qu1te out of Mr Gashwiter's range of understandmg. · Comments such as these however failed to <llscourage Mert01; Gt11. Had he 1\.0t been graduated, and had he not also recc1vec1 an engraved dtploma from the ~tubbmsville, Kansas, Corre~pondence scHool with the assurance that he had unusual talent as an actor ( ::>o Merton, taking tt1e more impressive name of Clittord Armitage, set out for Hollywood to take that city by storm and to give· to the world his dramattc genius..J even, as he satd "If I have to suffer." ' At t.he first studio he was not given a particularly rousmg welcome, despite the fact that he was willing to "sacrifice." But it was in that same studio that the Montague girl, who worked as an extra and doubled. for the popular actresses, realized that he was a newcomer, and took a friendly interest in h1111. She was the only one who seemed to appreciate just what it was he wtshed to do for the art of the motion picture. When he did get his tirst part and failed to follow the director's commands, it was she who understood and sympathized. · It had begun to seem as if his sacri fices and sufferings were indeed many after he had sought a job, tired and hungry and brokeJ for a week. Agam it was she-the Montague girl-who got hun work , real wqrk, seeing in him a close resemblance to a certain Harold Parmalec, one of the screen's greate st id ols, and a way in which to use that re semblance. So happy was Merton to receive any kind of a job at all, that he did not que stion it s nature tvo closely. What followed this, and what further disillusionments Merton was to have are all told in ".M erton of the Movies," a comedy in four acts which the New Trier Dramat1c club will present Saturday night, Kovember 17, in the school auditorium. The part of Merton is played by Martin Cas sel, and th e Montague girl by Dorothy Darby. .Marshall Field & ContpanJ ... how _ s trangely they used to dress little girls!
