Nov. 30, 1935 UNIVERSAL WEEKLY 15 ELL COMES TO LIFE Frank disarms the half-faced man who had been trying to get the Merriwell ring. Frank Merriwell in two athletic crises. One in lumber camp, and the other on baseball diamond. Frank Merriwell and his great college chum, Bruce. Chapter Headings ceeded the dime novel and it was the movies which doomed Frank Merriwell as a literary figure, to the condition of a tremendously pleasant memory. The same people who had bought the Frank Merriwell stories could not get the same vicarious thrill in the movies and for the same price and without the exertion of reading. Gilbert Patten wrote 900 complete 20,000 word novels about Frank Merriwell, each one complete and separate in itself, but fitting nicely into a series which took Frank through Fardale Prep School, through Yale, through his Don Briggs and Joan Rogers vacations abroad and then undertook to in intimate scene from picture, describe his younger brother Dick, and finally his son, Frank Merriwell, Jr. "THE COLLEGE HERO" "THE DEATH PLUNGE" "DEATH AT THE CROSS ROADS" 'WRECK OF THE VIKING" "CAPSIZED IN THE CATARACT" "DESCENDING DOOM" "MONSTER OF THE DEEP" "THE TRAGIC VICTORY" "BETWEEN SAVAGE FOES" "IMPRISONED IN A DUNGEON" "THE CRASH IN THE CHASM" "THE WINNING PLAY"
