W. Griffith's unrivaled one-reelers. By mid-decade, multi-reel feature films were profoundly reshaping the industry and deluxe theaters were built to attract the broadest possible audience. Stars like Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks became vitally important and companies began writing high-profile contracts to secure them. With the outbreak of World War I, the political, economic, and industrial groundwork was laid for American cinema's global dominance. By the end of the decade, filmmaking had become a true industry, complete with vertical integration, efficient specialization and standardization of practices, and self-regulatory agencies.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction : Movies and the 1910s \/ Ben Singer and Charlie Keil\u003cbr\u003e  1910 : Movies, reform, and new women \/ Scott Simmon\u003cbr\u003e  1911 : Movies and the stability of the institution \/ EIleen Bowser\u003cbr\u003e  1912 : Movies, innovative nostalgia, and real-life threats \/ Richard Abel\u003cbr\u003e  1913 : Movies and the beginning of a new era \/ Charlie Keil\u003cbr\u003e  1914 : Movies and cultural hierarchy \/ Rob King\u003cbr\u003e  1915 : Movies and the state of the union \/ Lee Grieveson\u003cbr\u003e  1916 : Movies and the ambiguities of progressivism \/ Shelley Stamp\u003cbr\u003e  1917 : Movies and practical patriotism \/ Leslie Midkiffe DeBauche\u003cbr\u003e  1918 : Movies, propaganda, and entertainment \/ James Latham\u003cbr\u003e  1919 : Movies and righteous Americanism \/ Ben Singer\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52559291056408,"sku":"9780813544458","price":24.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/american-cinema-of-the-1910s-themes-and-variations-paperback-softback-9780813544458","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
