Eileen Bowser chronicles the history of the American film business from the days of storefront nickelodeons to the premiere of D. W. Griffith's The Birth Of A Nation. The effect of the surroundings--the size of the hall; whether the film was shown alone or along with vaudeville entertainment; and the size, quality, and relevance of the musical background--are all examined for their impact on the film-going experience.

HISTORY OF AMERICAN CINEMA V2

The silent cinema was America's first modern entertainment industry, a complex social, cultural, and technological phenomenon that swept the country in the early years of the twentieth century. Richard Koszarski examines the underlying structures that made the silent-movie era work, from the operations of eastern bankers to the problems of neighborhood theater musicians. He offers a new perspective on the development of this major new industry and art form and the public's response to it.

This series should become a standard reference source in every U.S. Library -- CHOICE

The amount of fascinating information that has not been seen before is generous...What a story! And what a story to come...I can't wait for the sequels. -- The New York Times Book Review (Volumes 1,2 and 3)

Undoubtedly and deservedly, the Scribner's volumes will become the standard reference works for the history of American film.  --Film Quarterly (Volumes 1-3)

There's no doubt that these books will find use in college libraries across the nation. -- Booklist
