The First Movie Studio in Texas is a detailed and remarkably complete history of Gaston Méliès's Star Film Company. It will be an essential source for anyone interested in the films or the fascinating people involved with the company, and it makes an important contribution to the scholarship on the history of filmmaking in Texas.--Eric Hoyt, author of Ink-Stained Hollywood: The Triumph of American Cinema's Trade Press The First Movie Studio in Texas will add substantially to the knowledge of scholars interested in the history of American silent cinema. It will certainly contribute significantly to its field by virtue of the simple fact that it draws attention to a time and place and a cast of characters that have been left out of many silent cinema histories.--Kevin L. Stoehr, coauthor of King Vidor in Focus: On the Filmmaker's Artistry and Vision
