Hunter, Glenn (1893?–1945), actor. Born in Highland Mills, New York, the boyish‐looking actor made his first professional appearances with the
Washington Square Players in 1916. After replacing the original performers as Willie Baxter in
Seventeen (1918) and as Robert Williams in
Penrod (1918), he scored as the infatuated Bobby Wheeler in
Clarence (1919). Hunter's biggest success came as Merton Gill, the grocery clerk who almost accidentally becomes a film star, in
Merton of the Movies (1922), but he won equal praise when he portrayed the title role of the sensitive schoolboy in
Young Woodley (1925). Although he continued to perform regularly thereafter, none of his subsequent work was in successful plays. Best received of his later roles was his robustly boorish Tony Lumpkin in an all‐star 1929 revival of
She Stoops to Conquer.
