    FEATURE. Laura Petersen Balogh is in the process of undertaking a pioneering work on Danish silent film star, Karl Dane (1886-1934). Dane rose to fame towards the end of the silent era only to be marginalised with the coming of sound. He ended up operating a hot dog stand outside of the studio where he had once been a star and ultimately committed suicide in 1934. Balagh traces his career and performative characteristics.
