Most people think only of Charlie Chaplin when someone mentions
"silent movies." We've forgotten that there were many other funny
people in the silent days, and even superstar comedians before
Chaplin "When Silence Was Golden " is a bold collection of essays
focused on the lives of the great silent comedians who populated
Hollywood, but have sometimes been overlooked in film history from
having to thrive in the shadow of Charlie Chaplin's fame.
Intriguing chapters include comprehensive looks at Mabel Normand,
Harry Langdon, and Larry Semon, among others. Also included is a
fresh take on the infamous Fatty Arbuckle scandal that rocked the
nation early in the 20th century - our first major "media-circus "
"When Silence Was Golden" is a splendid addition to other silent
film star biographies in the libraries of fans, and anyone who
loves to laugh. The Legendary Laughter Series highlights classic
comedy from the silent era to the television age, engagingly
written, revealing the stories behind the laughs - by a lifelong
student of the great laughmakers and a fellow practitioner of
comedy. Relax, pull up a whoopie-cushion, and enjoy
