[Merton of the Movies by Harry Leon Wilson]@TWC D-Link bookMerton of the Movies CHAPTER II 19/47
Merton, of course, had not a moment's doubt that the miracle would intervene; he had seen other serials.
So he made no comment upon the gravity of the situation, but went at once to the heart of his ecstasy. "The most beautiful woman on the screen," he murmured. "Well, I don't know." Miss Kearns appeared about to advance the claims of rival beauties, but desisted when she saw that Merton was firm. "None of the rest can touch her," he maintained.
"And look at her nerve! Would your others have as much nerve as that ?" "Maybe she has someone to double in those places," suggested the screen-wise Tessie Kearns. "Not Beulah Baxter.
Didn't I see her personal appearance that time I went to Peoria last spring on purpose to see it? Didn't she talk about the risks she look and how the directors were always begging her to use a double and how her artistic convictions wouldn't let her do any such thing? You can bet the little girl is right there in every scene!" They passed to the other billboard.
This would be the comedy.
