Although it began as a local slapdash effort to advertise the independent exchanges in Chicago in 1911, Photoplay became the nation's leading movie fan magazine.

Adapting the middlebrow conventions of its rival to overcome disrepute and near bankruptcy, Phot…

Melodrama, Realism, and Race: World War II Newsreels and Propaganda Film
In 1904 Billy Bitzer photographed students at St. John's Military Academy in wintry upstate New York as they reenacted an encounter in the Russo-Japanese War, then in the headlines, for the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company.'

Cecil B. DeMille and American Culture: The Silent Era

In this innovative work, which integrates cultural history and cultural studies, Sumiko Higashi shows how DeMille artfully inserted cinema into genteel middle-class culture by replicating in his films such spectacles as elaborate parlor games, stage melodramas,…
