500			_aDrawing on the Library of Congress's massive collection of silent films and film memorabilia ,Silent Movies explores the fascinating world of silent film ,from its birth in the 1890s with the earliest narrative shorts ,to the brillian full-length features of the 1920s. The producers ,directors and actors in silent movies created an art form and established a narrative and visual style that continue to this day. At the same time ,silent movies created a new kind of celebrity - the movie star - and the movie executives quickly learned how valuable a marketing vehicle the early stars could be .Douglas Fairbanks ,Greta Garbo ,Clara Bow ,Louise Brooks ,Harold Lloyd ,John Gilbert , and dozens of others appear here in all their glory.
