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$xPlots, themes, etc 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPlots, themes, etc. 676 $a791.430973 686 $aAP 59483$2rvk 701 $aFischer$b Lucy$0790858 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808591803321 996 $aAmerican cinema of the 1920s$94196184 997 $aUNINA
