| Abstract | Asheville Movies Volume I: The Silent Era, by author and film historian Frank Thompson, rediscovers a forgotten era of filmmaking in the Land of the Sky from the earliest "actualities" in 1900 to the final silent film, We're Careful Now, produced in 1929. Asheville lured major film companies such as Paramount Pictures as well as itinerant movie makers who made short comedies on the streest of Asheville, cast entirely with locals. The book is illustrated with 133 stills, photographs, posters, ads and other imagery, most of which has not been in print for a century and some which have never been published anywhere. --Provided by publisher. |
