Bronco Billy

In 1906, "Bronco Billy" Anderson formed the Essanay Company with George K. Spoor, with the intention of concentrating on Westerns with himself as the star. Though he did not develop much beyond the fundamentals laid down by Edwin S. Porter, he contributed to the authenticity of the Western backgrounds and enlivened his films with shorter scenes and interesting camera angles, avoiding to some extent, the "stagey" look of many films of the period. Silent, to be shown at 18 frames per second
