- Summary
- "In Silent Topics: Essays on Undocumented Areas of Silent Film, film historian Anthony Slide looks at various underdiscussed and generally undocumented areas of cinema. The two most extensive essays focus on the release of British silent movies in the United States and the contributions of gays and lesbians to American silent film. Other chapters examine production costs, the Great Events series produced by Technicolor in the 1920s, and the manner in which early sheet music exploited silent film personalities."--Jacket.
