  Most Famous Silent Film Actors...

  Editors Charles River

  Only a select few actors become international stars in their time, but none had as unique a career as Charlie Chaplin. Chaplin was the first true film star, and he managed to do so even when films were still silent. He has been honored with too many awards to count, and the fact that his name remains instantly recognizable nearly a century after his first film is a testament to his influence. Chaplin is known for the singular blend of pathos and humor evinced by his films, and it is not uncommon for audiences to laugh and cry at alternate points of a Chaplin film, a trait that continues to endear audiences even to this day. 
  In the 1920s, the burgeoning movie industry was starting to come into its own, and alongside actor and director Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton was at the peak of Hollywood. It’s no surprise that Keaton was so effective in silent films, because he had been practicing comedy in his family’s vaudeville acts as “The Little Boy Who Can’t Be Damaged”, becoming a popular performer by the age of 5. Indeed, his physical form of comedy, which initially involved having his father throwing him around the stage, translated well onto the screen, and some of his slapstick and other comic gags remain legendary even today, in part because Keaton practiced his own stunts.  
  Everything about Rudolph Valentino, from his body to the characters he played, was exotic. His career may have been abbreviated by his premature death at the age of 31, but Valentino popularized the (somewhat racist) stereotype of the “Latin lover” in Hollywood, and even his name was markedly more out of the ordinary than those of other actors. In an era dominated by hyper-masculine actors like Douglas Fairbanks, or comedians such as Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, Valentino had a more ethnic and mysterious appeal, and he was lusted after by women to a degree that remains unsurpassed in the industry.

  Thou Art Alive! - Shakespeare...

  Eliza Langland

  Written in two parts in an accessible, conversational style, this book is more than a ‘how-to’ primer on the cue-script method: how Shakespeare and his actors staged his plays with minimal to no full company rehearsal.  In Part 2, the author (a professional actor, director and academic researcher) expands upon how she has used this approach to Shakespeare herself and, as a result, made some ground-breaking discoveries. 
   
  For those listeners who may be unfamiliar with cue-scripts, and to bring the text to life, through performance, this edition, first published in print and e-book format in 2017, has been specially rewritten, updated and adapted for audio. The word on the page being, of course, vital to the process, the audiobook comes with a free, downloadable pdf and the updated version is also available in print and as an e-book."  A lifelong dedication to the theatre arts and a personal vow to help keep theatre alive, inspired its title. But of course it was Ben Johnson who said it first: “Thou art alive while thy book doth live.” Thy book being, of course, The first Folio (1623).  The insights provided in this book, as well as in the other books you'll find recommended in its bibliography, confirm just how authoritative the First Folio (1623) really is. 
   
  To anyone who finds this book useful, may you feel inspired to verify, refine and expand upon this work and, in turn, share your findings with you own audience, readers, students and colleagues.  The modest number of personal, new and surprising insights it has been possible to include in this slim volume is suggestive of many more to come.
