W. Griffith used the resources of theatre to great purpose and to great ends. In pioneering the quintessentially modern medium of film from the 1890's to the 1930's, he drew from older, more broadly appealing stage forms of melodrama, comedy, vaudeville, and variety. In Stagestruck Filmmaker, David Mayer brings Griffith's process vividly to life, offering detailed and valuable insights into the racial, ethnic, class, and gender issues of these transitional decades. 410 0$aStudies in theatre history and culture. 606 $aMotion pictures and theater 615 0$aMotion pictures and theater. 676 $a791.4302/33092 700 $aMayer$b David$0677842 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778947303321 996 $aStagestruck filmmaker$93851030 997 $aUNINA
