This work contains 41 engaging essays on players of the silent
screen, from superstars like Rudolph Valentino and Clara Bow to
fascinating figures like Clarine Seymour and Arthur Johnson. These
stories range from the tragic (early deaths, drug problems,
talkie-related career failures) to the triumphant (a surprising
number of silent stars enjoyed long, happy lives). Many of these
personalities have never before been covered in depth, and their
careers highlight the entire silent era, from its beginnings in the
1890s to its demise in the late 1920s. These essays, earlier
versions of which were published in Classic Images, have been
completely reedited and rewritten, reflecting information later
made available to the author.
