WILSON, Harry Leon
Merton of the Movies
Garden City, Doubleday Page, 1922. An early novel of Hollywood that was adapted first for the theater, then as a silent movie and finally, 25 years later, as a sound film starring Red Skelton. One of the earliest Hollywood novels, about an aspiring actor. Listed in 100 Books on Hollywood & the Movies. Cloth mottled; near fine in a very good dust jacket with several closed edge tears, a rear gutter nick, and light foxing to the spine. Overall an attractive copy of an important book.
