Summary: Story of the quick rise and collapse of the Triangle Corp.
Comment: The Triangle Corporation was announced with great fanfare in 1915. Three giants of the film industry, D.W. Griffith, Thomas Ince, and Mack Sennett would form a corporation that would supply theatres with the best films available. From an auspicious beginning, the company was already in trouble after one year. It somehow survived until about 1920, mostly by re-issuing its old films and producing cheap programmers. This book is the story of Harry Aitken, whose vision created the company. His mismanagement and out-right fraud ended up destroying the company. Author Lahue has done a great job researching this long-defunct company. My only criticism is that the author uses a little dramatic license to get inside several of the subjects heads to tell us what they were thinking. Overall, an excellent book for anyone interested in silent film history.
