Many movie genres developed during the silent era, but none was as
lasting as comedies. Actors and actresses stood in front of crude,
hand-cranked cameras and invented a style that made people laugh
and forget their troubles.This is a comprehensive reference work to
the people, studios, technical companies and terms associated with
silent film comedy. For people, there is a capsule biography, with
birth and death rates and a summary of their contribution to the
genre. For studios and companies, there is a brief history,
focusing on their work in silent film comedy. For terms, a full
definition is given.
