We might still speak of the magic of cinema, but it is difficult to imagine just how magical it must have been in its early years to sit in a darkened room beneath an expanding beam of light in which dust specks drifted and cigarette smoke curled, watching the images conjured as if from the ether, of people moving silently on the screen like exquisite ghosts.
Things were, in truth, a little less magical for the actors themselves. Faces slathered in thick, greasy makeup, they emoted histrionically in front of static cameras, exaggerating expressions and expanding their gestures in an attempt to convey what spoken dialogue could not.
