Film studios were transformed into major corporations, hiring a host of craftsmen and technicians including cinematographers, editors, screenwriters, and set designers. The birth of the star system supported the meteoric rise and celebrity status of actors including Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, and Rudolph Valentino while black performers (relegated to "race films") appeared infrequently in mainstream movies. The classic Hollywood film style was perfected and significant film genres were established: the melodrama, western, historical epic, and romantic comedy, along with slapstick, science fiction, and fantasy. In ten original essays, American Cinema of the 1920's examines the film industry's continued growth and prosperity while focusing on important themes of the era. 410 0$aScreen decades. 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xPlots, themes, etc 610 $aperforming arts, film, video, media, media studies, communications, american studies, american culture, american cinema, 1920s, 20s, roaring twenties, film studies, motion picture, film industry, entertainment, hollywood, old hollywood, film studio, cinematographer, editor, screenwriter, set designer, celebrity, charlie chaplin, mary pickford, joan crawford, greta garbo, rudolph valentino, race film, blockbuster, classic hollywood, classic film, melodrama, western, historical epic, romantic comedy, slapstick, science fiction, fantasy. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPlots, themes, etc. 676 $a791.430973 676 $a791.43097309042 686 $aAP 59483$2rvk 701 $aAnderson$b Mark$0563899 701 $aAronson$b Michael$01046633 701 $aBean$b Jennifer M$01484095 701 $aFischer$b Lucy$0790858 701 $aHigashi$b Sumiko$0842997 701 $aLandy$b Marcia$0780811 701 $aRoss$b Sara$01484096 701 $aTurim$b Maureen$0679534 701 $aVacche$b Angela Dalle$01484097 701 $aYoung$b Gwenda$01484098 702 $aFischer$b Lucy$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790111603321 996 $aAmerican Cinema of the 1920's$93702629 997 $aUNINA
