Flickering Empire tells the fascinating yet little-known story of
how Chicago served as the unlikely capital of American film
production in the years before the rise of Hollywood (1907-1913).
As entertaining as it is informative, Flickering Empire straddles
the worlds of academic and popular nonfiction in its vivid
illustration of the rise and fall of the major Chicago movie
studios in the mid-silent era (principally Essanay and Selig
Polyscope). Colorful, larger-than-life historical figures,
including Thomas Edison, Charlie Chaplin, Oscar Micheaux, and Orson
Welles, are major players in the narrative-in addition to important
though forgotten industry titans, such as "Colonel" William Selig,
George Spoor, and Gilbert "Broncho Billy" Anderson.
