Joel Frykholm is currently a Kluge Fellow at the Library of Congress John W. Kluge Center. As part of his research at the Kluge Center, Frykholm is examining the tumultuous period of early Hollywood from Kleine's perspective, a captain of the film industry but today virtually unknown outside the field of film historians. The lecture explores what happened to Kleine, why he drifted into historiographical oblivion, and why his case is ripe for re-discovery.
