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 filmgoing experience.
