PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Anthony Slide is the author or editor of more than 200 works on the history of popular entertainment. Among his achievements are the first volumes on early American cinema, the Vitagraph Company, early women directors, the cinema and Ireland, and many more. His books have been honored by the American Library Association as Outstanding Reference Sources of the Year, and by Choice Magazine as Outstanding Academic Books of the Year. In 1990, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Letters by Bowling Green University, at which time he was hailed by Lillian Gish as our pre-eminenent historian of the silent film.
A remarkable autobiography illuminates the early era of film production and the role a determined woman played in it. As well as being the first female production talent, Mme. Blache was by every account an able, practiced film-maker and producer, especially noted for her calm and good humor, supported by a Gallic combination of candor and modesty. All these qualities are evident in the memoirs, and much of the book's charm rests in its perceptions of the United States...Anthony Slide is to be commended for arranging this book's initial French publication, now for facilitating its English version.
