The Transformation of Cinema, 1907-1915 by Eileen Bowser
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.
Eileen Bowser is former Curator of Film at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
