Description

The movie house is an integral a part of the physical and cultural American landscape. From the modest nickelodeons of the early twentieth century to the audacious palaces of the 1920s to the mighty megaplexes of nowadays, changes in theater design during the last 100 years coincide with The united states’s understanding of entertainment and how it’s delivered. A comprehensive take a look at the movie houses of one large American city can reveal much about motion picture exhibition within the country as a whole. This book covering the city of Baltimore offers such revelations, in addition to fascinating details on a local level. Part I is a narrative history of the motion picture exhibition business and the moviegoing experience in Baltimore from 1895 to the present. Part II lists theaters alphabetically and describes them in sumptuous detail. Appendices offer a list of the theaters by street address; a roster of the architects; some comments on theater architecture usually; and a discussion of theater workforce. A bibliography completes the work.
