Download or read book Silent Serial Sensations written by Barbara Tepa Lupack and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2020-04-15 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book-length study of pioneering and prolific filmmakers Ted and Leo Wharton, Silent Serial Sensations offers a fascinating account of the dynamic early film industry. As Barbara Tepa Lupack demonstrates, the Wharton brothers were behind some of the most profitable and influential productions of the era, including The Exploits of Elaine and The Mysteries of Myra, which starred such popular performers as Pearl White, Irene Castle, Francis X. Bushman, and Lionel Barrymore. Working from the independent film studio they established in Ithaca, New York, Ted and Leo turned their adopted town into "Hollywood on Cayuga." By interweaving contemporary events and incorporating technological and scientific innovations, the Whartons expanded the possibilities of the popular serial motion picture and defined many of its conventions. A number of the sensational techniques and character types they introduced are still being employed by directors and producers a century later.

Download or read book The Intricacies of Existence written by JB Malatji and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2024-05-17 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the gripping anthology, "The Intricacies of Existence: The Stories of our Lives," readers are plunged into the tumultuous world of criminal pursuits, the enigma of affection, and twilight reverie. Through a collection of three compelling short stories - "The Enigma of Affection," "Paying in Full: The Hidden Toll of Criminal Pursuit," and "Twilight Reverie," the book explores the delicate interplay between romantic affection and the darker edges of human nature, where playing with fire and criminal intent can lead to unforeseen consequences. It delves into the psyche of individuals who, driven by desires, freedom, and love, sometimes live by the sword and die by the sword, embodying the essence of crimes of passion. The narrative poignantly addresses how, despite an innate inclination towards goodness, individuals can be lured into the abyss of malevolence, leaving in their wake the scars of women scorned and lives shattered. "The Intricacies of Existence" does not merely recount tales of downfall and despair; it also celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and its capacity for love and redemption. It underscores the truth that hatred and criminal behaviour are not inherent traits but are influenced by factors such as poverty, parental neglect, low self-esteem, and substance abuse. Yet, amidst these challenges, it is the unwavering dream of a better life, determination, and an unyielding commitment to aspirations that herald the triumph of freedom and love over adversity. Moreover, the book serves as a clarion call for collective action in safeguarding the vulnerable members of our society, emphasizing that the protection of children and the elderly is a shared duty. Through its intricate weaving of love, crime, and the choices that define us, "The Intricacies of Existence" invites readers to reflect on the profound impact of our decisions, both on our lives and the fabric of society at large.
