Burt L. Standish
A novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the trials and tribulations of Frank Merriwell, a determined playwright and actor who faces the downfall of his latest production due to poor reception and sabotage. As he grapples with disappointment, he draws on his unwavering resolve and optimism, determined to revive his career and succeed against adversity. At the start of this engaging novel, Frank Merriwell awakens in Pueblo, Colorado, feeling the weight of failure after his new play, ''For Old Eli,'' flops drastically on its opening night. He reflects on the events that led to the disastrous performance, including meddling from jealous rivals and his own self-doubt. His old friend Bart Hodge enters the scene, further highlighting Merriwell's struggles with setbacks. The plot thickens as he receives a letter exposing an enemy's treachery and the loss of his backer. However, fortune turns in Merriwell's favor when he receives unexpected news about a treasure he’d deposited, leading to newfound hope and the potential to make a compelling comeback in the theater world.
