Arts & Humanities offers display on Silent Movies

Arts & Humanities Services presents Silent Movies, a display of SU Library materials focusing on the history of film before the introduction of sound in 1927. Key figures such as Eadweard Muybridge, Thomas Edison, the Lumière Brothers, D.W. Griffith, Charlie Chaplin, and Buster Keaton are briefly examined, as are nickelodeons, early Westerns, movie flappers, and the avant-garde. The display is located on the 4th floor of Bird Library, and will remain up until the beginning of the Fall semester.
