The silent film era lasted about 30 years and was not only the beginning of the movie industry that would morph and change over the ages, but also a time of fierce technical ambition and competition. The romance, nostalgia and realities of the era are explored in The Electric Hotel, a rollicking and fun novel by Dominic Smith.
Dominic Smith spoke with Sarah Martin of Festival City.
