AMERICAN FILM HISTORY PRIOR TO 1920
Slide, Anthony: ASPECTS OF AMERICAN FILM HISTORY PRIOR TO 1920
Metuchen, NJ: Scarecrow, 1978. First edition. 161 pages, index,
bibliographies, source material.
"I have tried here to record many of the lesser-known aspects of the
American cinema prior to 1920; the work of forgotten film companies such as
Thanhouser and Paralta, the evolution of the star system, the first child
actors of the screen, etc. This is not a book for the casual browser who has
only a slight interest in film history. I hope that my reader will explore
the nooks and crannies of the industry's past that have not been visited in
recent years by other film historians."

The Evolution of the Film Star
