4.9/5 (30695 ratings)

Description:A detailed history of the birth of motion pictures. This richly illustrated coffee-table book charts the tumultuous growth from early inventions and Edison's innovations through the creation of film studios, picture palaces, and the first movie stars. Uniquely, the book celebrates and explores the showmanship of mom-and-pop Main Street nickelodeon theaters across the United States through a wealth of spectacular, never-before-published photographs and rare archival evidence. The authors bring a lifetime of research to this fascinating story of how an upstart new entertainment medium struggled in the early 1900's to become America's greatest form of popular culture — how it went from Main Street to Wall Street and changed the world.Chapter 1: Pictures in MotionChapter 2: The First MoviesChapter 3: Penny Arcades and Picture ParlorsChapter 4: A Storefront and Scarcely MoreChapter 5: Nickelodeons on Main StreetChapter 6: Outfitting and Equipping a TheaterChapter 7: Planning the Picture ShowChapter 8: The Movies Become Big BusinessChapter 9: Movies in Parks and OutdoorsChapter 10: The Traveling Picture ShowChapter 11: Movies with Sound and ColorChapter 12: Music and Sound EffectsChapter 13: Posters, Publicity, and ExcitementChapter 14: Film Stars and Fans in the Nickelodeon EraChapter 15: "Trust" Studios and Their PlayersChapter 16: "Independent" and Other Studios and Their PlayersChapter 17: New Thrills Each Week: The SerialsChapter 18: You Can't Watch That!EpilogueSelected BibliographyIndexWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
