Max Linder is hailed as the first film star in a recent study (Andrew Shail, The Origins of the Film Star System: Persona, Publicity and Economics in Early Cinema (London: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2019). Maurice Costello may have been the first star to appear in films (from 1906, says MacCann, 1992), and a contemporary guide (B. M. Wood, Who's Who in the Motion Picture World (New York: Who's Who in Pictures Publishing Co., c1915, p. 50) states that he was ‘the first internationally famous motion picture star’, that he pioneered the modern style of film acting and directed all his own films. He won a film star popularity contest in 1912. John Bunny was the most-mentioned film star in the pre-war period, and was making nearly a film a week by the summer of 1913. All these except Linder have been rather overlooked by historians/biographers: there is no book devoted to Turner, only a self-published one on Bunny (2017), and only a family biography (2019) for Costello: Kevin Scott Collier, Funny Bunny: Film Comedian John Bunny (Scotts Valley, CA: CreateSpace, 2017); Terry Chester Shulman, Film's First Family : The Untold Story of the Costellos (Lexington: University Press of Kentucky, 2019).4 And indeed begs a more general question of how and why historians choose their subjects to study.5 Steve Massa, Rediscovering Roscoe : The Films of \"Fatty\" Arbuckle (Orlando, FL: BearManor Media, 2019); Anthony Slide, ‘Early Women Filmmakers: The Real Numbers’, Film History 24, no. 1 (March 2012): 114–21.6 Given this project model and the relative neglect of the three above-mentioned film stars, perhaps one could propose a ‘Vitagraph performers project’?7 See https://wfpp.columbia.edu/essay/shaping-the-craft-of-screenwriting-women-screen-writers-in-silent-era-hollywood/ and https://wfpp.columbia.edu/2023/01/07/afi-catalog-launches-wtta-website/8 Ann Martin, Virginia M.
