In the 1900s and 1910s, the American film industry often embraced the arguments of film free speech and extolled the virtues of propagandistic cinemathe visual art of persuasion seen as part and parcel of deliberative democracy. The development of American cinema in these years was formatively shaped by conflicts with another industry of cultural consumption: liquor. Exhibitors battled with their competitors, the ubiquitous saloon, while film producers often attacked the immorality of drink with explosive propaganda on the screen. But the threat of censorship and economic regulation necessitated control and mastery over the social power of the cinema (its capacity to influence the public through the visualization of ideas) not an open medium of expression or an explicitly political instrument of molding public opinion. 410 0$aPolitics, literature, & film. 606 $aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aMotion picture industry$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMotion picture industry$xHistory 676 $a791.43658 700 $aSteinmetz$b Jay Douglas$01556661 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bSFU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796203003321 996 $aBeyond free speech and propaganda$93819530 997 $aUNINA
