ABSTRACT

This article examines the way that early female film stars from both Britain and America are portrayed in the popular magazine The Red Letter. It argues that even in 1920, there was already a common pattern to notions of female stardom that essentially revolved around ideas of class, and that rather than being newly minted, these notions of the female star were in several ways appropriated from the music hall, a form of entertainment that was firmly established by this time.

阶级、明星和电影：《红字》中如何描绘早期电影明星

摘要

这篇文章探讨了英国和美国早期的女电影明星在流行杂志The Red Letter中的形象。它认为，即使在 1920 年，女性明星的概念已经存在一种普遍的模式，基本上围绕着阶级观念，而且这些女性明星的概念并不是新出现的，而是以多种方式从音乐厅挪用，一种在此时已牢固确立的娱乐形式。
