Recall all your glorious film memories THIS is a picture story of 50 years of films; told in more than seven hundred selected stills. Half are devoted to outstanding silent films and there are all the classics such as *Birth of a Nation. Intolerance, Four Horsemen, Ten Commandments* and *Gold Rush*. You can trace the careers of famous stars like Hepburn, Crawford, Davis, Cable and Dietrich from film to film, and there are nearly 2.000 names in the index. A Pictorial History at the Movies* keeps strictly to its title by devoting every page to stills and limiting the text to detailed captions, this sumptuous volume is beautifully bound for a lifetime's service.
