This is the first new book-length study of British cinema of the
1910s to be published for over fifty years, and it focuses on the
close relationship between the British film industry and the
Edwardian theatre. Why were so many West End legends such as Sir
Herbert Beerbohm Tree and Ellen Terry repeatedly tempted to dabble
in silent film work? Why were film producers so keen to employ
them? Jon Burrows studies their screen performances and considers
how successfully they made the transition from one medium to the
other, and offers some controversial conclusions about the
surprisingly broad social range of filmgoers to whom their films
appealed.
