	Unseen Cinema • The Devil's Plaything (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		American parody supplied Douglas Fairbanks with enough unusual material to produce the truly surreal When the Clouds Roll By (1919).
		The expressionistic Cabinet of Dr. Calagari (1919) influenced American sensibilities throughout the 1920s as seen in Beggar of Horseback (1925), The Life and Death of 9413-A Hollywood Extra (1927) and The Telltale Heart (1928).
		The emphasis shifted when amateurs J.S. Watson, Jr., Joseph Cornell, and Orson Welles crafted a unique variety of American surrealism on film unfettered by European concerns.

		But there was here a different ingredient; it was plain the girl thought I had been prying in her secrets; and with my new clothes and sword, and at the top of my new fortunes, this was more than I could swallow.
		The beggar on horseback could not bear to be thrust down so low, or, at least of it, not by this young lady.

	Why Machinal? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Machinal used to be one of those plays that was only known to, and only read by, Ph.D students in academic Theater Studies programs.
		Like Kaufman and Connelly's Beggar on Horseback, Elmer Rice's The Adding Machine, Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape and a few others, Machinal represents the attempt of American playwrights in the 1920s to imitate European Expressionism: Wall Street meets The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari.
		So, of all these plays, why is Machinal the one that's now getting produced?
