Kluge Fellow Joel Frykholm to Discuss the Career of George Kleine and the Emergence of Hollywood, Feb. 14—Dispatch February 7, 2013 Film culture as we have come to know it emerged in the 1910s. Feature films and movie stars became key commodities; film exhibition was streamlined as purpose-built movie theaters emerged; Hollywood developed into the center of American as well as global cinema; and motion pictures came to be recognized as an art form in their own right. Kluge Fellow Joel Frykholm tells the story of this tumultuous period from the perspective of one person: George Kleine—a captain of film industry at the time but today virtually unknown outside the field of film historians. He explores what happened to Kleine in the face of rapid historical change, why he drifted into historiographical oblivion, and why his case is ripe for rediscovery. What: “The Lost Tycoon: Rediscovering George Kleine, Reframing Early American Cinema,” a lecture by Joel Frykholm, Kluge Fellow at The John W. Kluge Center. When: Thursday, February 14th at 12 p.m. Where: Woodrow Wilson Room (LJ-113), Thomas Jefferson Building, Library of Congress. Directions and maps: http://www.loc.gov/visit/directions/ The John W.
