- Summary
- Justine Brown recovers the artistic and idealistic origins of the world's movie capital and its playful and imaginative pioneers. She examines the individual lives of the Theosophists (proto-New Agers), the directors and actors who believed that silent movies were a Universal Language which had the potential to save mankind, and the bohemian circles and Pygmalion figures that made up a community that believed it was creating a New World. Includes profiles of people like Nazimova and Valentino, Lillian Gish, Mary Pickford, D.W. Griffith and Sergei Eisenstein.--Cover.
