 Valdemar Psilander - a World star in Danish film   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
He starred in innumerable formulaic films made by Nordisk Film's well-oiled machine, but he also displayed his acting talent in films that are today considered important and exceptional works of art from the period, for example Evangeliemandens Liv (The Candle and the Moth) in 1914 and Klovnen (The Clown) in 1916.
In February 1911, he was offered a part in a film at Nordisk Film and this was the beginning of a new era for the now no longer inexperienced 26-year-old actor.
The film is one of the first in a long row of 'erotic melodramas' - a genre that almost became the trademark of Danish film abroad - and Psilander was born for this type of film with his masculine charm and elegant poise.

 More Australian than Aristotelian: The Australian Bushranger Film, 1904-1914   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In addition, Attack on the Gold Escort (1911) is likely have been identified by audiences of the time as referring to a specific raid in 1862 by Gardiner, Hall and their gang on a gold escort at Eugowra, often taken as having inaugurated a period of particular lawlessness.
In this way, the bushranger film may be attempting to mobilise the conventions of melodrama in directing our attention to a larger, moral purpose, to questions about what it is to live with injustice, to be a bushranger outcast from friends and family by an unfeeling law.

 'Keystone Mabel,' The Film Comedy of Mabel Normand:1911-1916
As well as being one of early film comedy's most famous stars, she was one of its most innovative and creative pioneers.
For example, in later films she will at times seems to have lost much of that combination of gaiety and instinct for irony which contributed to making her earlier films so exceptionally charming.
The short films she appeared in during the period from 1911 to 1916, were mostly “split” (half reel) or else one reel films, lasting from about five to ten minutes respectively, though in the latter part of this period she expanded to two and an occasional three reel films.
