Title: Nice Primer For Those Interested In Early Female Stars
Review: The author David Menefee has a good track record when it comes to chronicling early cinema and its stars. Ths bookdoes a nice job of profiling a few of them. The actresses chosen run the gamut----the well-known Gish Sisters (Lillian was active in film and stage throughout a large chunk of the 20th century) through Mae Murray(whose career crashed and burned and who lived in obscurity for the rest of her life).While this book isn't extremely detailed in terms of comprehensive infomation, it is interesting and informative and should be viewed as a good springboard for further investigation on the genre. My advice is that if you are looking for detailed profiles this most likely is not for you.
