| Summary | "Frank Merriwell's Own Company; Or, Barnstorming in the Middle West" by Burt L. Standish is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Frank Merriwell, a talented young man who finds himself thrust into the role of a performer after a magician's unexpected death. As he navigates the challenges of taking the magician's place, Frank showcases his wit and skills, ultimately captivating an audience with his improvised magic show. The beginning of the novel introduces us to the frantic atmosphere of an opera house where Manager Thaddeus Burnham is anxious about the magician Zolverein, who is suffering a serious health crisis before a show. We learn that Frank Merriwell has previously saved Zolverein, and in a twist of fate, he inherits the magician's apparatus just before Zolverein passes away. As Frank takes the stage, his initial nervousness quickly dissipates as he engages the audience with his clever banter, ventriloquism, and magic tricks, notably the successful performance of the "Educated Fly." The opening sets the stage for a tale combining elements of humor, adventure, and the spirit of showmanship in the world of traveling entertainment. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
