Dust jacket notes: "The adventure, romance, and pathos that were so much a part of the silent serial during the early years of the motion picture industry have vanished from the scene of the Hollywood movie studio. The present generation neither remembers - for none was born yet - nor cares; for to them the silent serial is but a small part of the American past which might never even have existed. But to those who themselves were growing up in the pre-talkie era, when the motion picture industry itself was just beginning to unfold its wings, the silent serial was an outlet for the fancies of children and the dreams of adults. It was an action-packed, thrill-a-minute entry into the world of exciting experiences. Bound and Gagged is the story of the silent serial: its birth; its growth; its heroes and heroines; its successes and failures; and finally its demise. Author Kalton Lahue takes you behind the scenes, into the studios, to show you how the serials were made. The operations of the famous studios that produced these serials - Pathe, Universal, Vitagraph, Rayart, and Mascot - are fascinatingly explained and discussed in detail. What was the industry thinking behind the thrilling episodes? how did writers create the thrill-a-minute scenarios? did serial directors function differently from their feature counterparts? All these questions and more are answered fully in the captivating text. Within the pages of Bound and Gagged serials come alive once more as Spencer G. Bennet, Robert F. Hill, Frank Leon Smith, Ford Beebe, Louise Lorraine, and others reveal the past in personal interviews. Here the reader will find the only career study of Charles Hutchinson and Eddie Polo, and long-obscured facts about many fabulous serial people. Hundreds of illustrations bring back the excitement of The Jungle Goddess, The Fortieth Door, The Vanishing Dagger, The Green Archer, The Adventures of Tarzan, and many, many others...."
