Item description from seller

The days of the Bathing Beauty, the Vamp, the Custard Pie, and "It" are part of the American heritage. It would be difficult to exaggerate how great a revelation of our beliefs and manners and fashions is afforded by the early days of the films. Here, in the great stars and directors from Mary Pickford and Chaplin and Theda Bara, from Mack Sennett and Griffith and DeMille, to Valentine and Swanson and Clara Bow and Lubitsch, are to be found some of the most fascinating and varied material on the social history of the first quarter of this century. The saga of the movies from the nickelodeons to such epics as The Birth of a Nation, The Ten Commandments, and The Big Parade is a fabulous one. It was an era of tinsel splendor and scandals, of skyrocketing salaries and endless vitality-and in its way it was extraordinarily creative. The men and women pictured in Mr. Blum's richly instructive book left their impress in thousands of ways on their generation-and on ours. For those who remember the Keystone Cops, Fatty Arbuckle, Marguerite Clark, Clara Kimball Young, and the many, many others who brought their antics or their glamor to the new entertainment medium this book will be nostalgic. For those so unfortunate as to have missed the good old days, it should be required reading. For both young and old it will be full of signs and wonders-and laughter. Mr. Blum, compiler of the successful A Plctorial History of the American Theater has again done a remarkable job in assembling over 3000 photographs, many them rare or unique, of the great personalties of yesteryear, and in giving us pithy comments on them. Hs new book brings to life again a superbly indigenous art form. Daniel Blum is a specialist in theatrical and film history. His picture and clipping files on prominent actors, actresses, and directors are not excelled by any other private collection in the United States and are in many respects superior to, those in the public libraries. His A Pictorial History of the American Theatre has sold close to 60,000 copies and has been distributed with great success by the Fireside Book Club. He publishes two annual volumes, Screen World and Theater World and in 1952 brought out Great Stars of the American Stage. This is a large book and will require extra postage. All orders shipped protected in a box. Inside of dust jacket has tape repairs.…
