It's an extraordinary feat, one that should be appreciated by students of the movies. Henabery's unpretentious manner is ingratiating and the history he imparts is unequaled. Rapport Too few first-hand accounts of the silent era exist, making this book valuable for insight into early filmmaking. The Silent Film Monthly ...captivating...illustrates a cutthroat motion picture industry...one of many excellent Hollywood memoirs. The Silents Majority ...offers important insights on Griffith, as well as stories about Fairbanks, Valentino, and Fatty Arbuckle. Curio For a book as important as this to surface so many years after its author's death is nothing short of a miracle. Joseph Henabery is a fascinating chronicler of a colourful era-and his analysis of the other books on the subject is worth the cost of this one. -- Kevin Brownlow
