Glenn Hunter

GLENN HUNTER was born in Highland Mills, N. Y., in 1897, and received his early education there. At the age of seventeen, he came to New York to go on the stage. After months of disappointment that seemed to presage nothing but failure, he found encouragement at last in an engagement at ten dollars weekly to play small parts with the Washington Square Players. Realizing the value of the experience with this artistic company, he continued with them for two years. Following this, he toured the country with road shows, returning to New York to enlist for the World War. Serving until the close of the war, his success on his return was sensational, "Merton of the Movies" placing him at the very top of his profession. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 140 lbs., and has light hair and blue eyes.
