Summary/Abstract: In this paper I investigate one of the first Hungarian silent film stars, Lili Berky’s work, focusing on her silent films made between 1913‒1918 in Jenő Janovics’s studios. The research into the silent film acting of Lili Berky is presented with regard to the circumstance that contemporary sources and press materials referring to the actress gave insight more into the evolution of the star culture of the early 20th century and not so much into the practices of acting.
