The Mystery Of Green Hill (Aired February 12, 1949)
Frank Merriwell is a fictional character appearing in a series of novels and short stories by Gilbert Patten, who wrote under the pseudonym Burt L. Standish. The character also appears in numerous radio serials and comic books based on the stories. The model for all later American juvenile sports fiction, Merriwell excelled at football, baseball, basketball, crew and track at Yale while solving mysteries and righting wrongs. He played with great strength and received traumatic blows without injury. A biographical entry on Patten noted dryly that Frank Merriwell "had little in common with his creator or his readers." Patten offered some background on his character: "The name was symbolic of the chief characteristics I desired my hero to have. Frank for frankness, merry for a happy disposition, well for health and abounding vitality." THIS EPISODE: February 12, 1949. NBC network. "The Mystery Of Green Hill". Sustaining. Inza and her Aunt Belle discover a haunted house and a pile of bones, but Frank suspects things aren't quite all they seem. Lawson Zerbe, Hal Studer, Elaine Rost, Harlow Wilcox (announcer), Burt L.
