Inhalt:
This is the fascinating yet little-known story of how Chicago served as the unlikely capital of American film production in the years before the rise of Hollywood (1907-1913). It illustrates the rise and fall of the major Chicago movie studios in the mid-silent era (focusing principally on the Essanay and Selig Polyscope studios). It introduces colourful, larger-than-life historical figures, including Thomas Edison, Charlie Chaplin, Oscar Micheaux, and Orson Welles, and shows that they were major players in the narrative of the city's involvement in film.
