Munsey's Magazine, June 1922 Edgar Rice Burroughs' serialized novel "The Girl from Hollywood" opens with a dramatic Southern California ranch setting. The story centers on Custer Pennington, a young rancher prone to drinking, and Grace, an ambitious young woman from the countryside who dreams of becoming an actress. After a horseback accident reveals Custer's reckless behavior when drinking, Grace confesses her desire to pursue theatrical ambitions rather than immediately accept Custer's marriage proposal. Custer argues for the fulfillment of ranch life against the uncertainties of stage work. The narrative includes ranch scenes featuring prize cattle, including a hidden championship bull Custer's father plans to unveil at the International show. Suspicious activity around the property—midnight horsemen in the hills—hints at an emerging subplot. The contemporary drama explores tensions between rural domesticity and urban aspiration.
