Using silk, marble, gold leaf, and crystal chandeliers, they gave the film going experience an elegance now long forgotten. This breathtaking book will thrill anyone interested in Hollywood history and become a treasured cornerstone in the library of any movie buff.
a blast from the past...when movie theaters were so grand and a wonderful place to escape to. i remember the "ushers" wore tuxedos even well after theater goers stopped dressing up for a night out.
