	"Broncho Billy" Anderson (1880â“1971) - Encyclopedia of Arkansas
		Anderson’s contribution was to develop the western film and the techniques he devised, including the “long shot,” “medium shot,” “close up,” and “reestablishment scene,” have become standard techniques present even in modern westerns.
		Anderson signed Chaplin for the unheard of salary of $1,250 per week, plus a bonus of $10,000, but neither Spoor nor Chaplin were happy with the arrangement.
		In 1958, Anderson was awarded an honorary Oscar by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for his contribution to the development of motion pictures as entertainment.

	The Actors Who Have Two Faces
		Anderson was actually a Jewish kid from Little Rock, Ark. (real name: Max Aronson), who worked as a salesman and on the stage before being hired as an actor by the Edison Company.
		Filming himself striding across the Western landscape (Anderson was one of the first filmmakers to leave New York for California), he must have been acutely aware of the discrepancy between his personal history and his invented character.
		But for the urban immigrants who were the primary patrons of early movies, Anderson's fantasy may well have been their own; without knowing his story, they could identify with his need to wipe the slate clean, to begin again.
