Step into the World of Pre-Hollywood Cinema!
In 1907, when this mail-order catalog was first printed, audiences were enjoying motion pictures, stereopticon lectures, and talking machine concerts at traveling showman events. This was several years before nickelodeons and vaudeville began to edge out the traveling cinema circuit. The rise of permanent movie theaters across America was just around the corner.
This carefully restored edition showcases everything a turn-of-the-century exhibitor needed to buy, know, and do to succeed in the booming pre-nickelodeon film trade.
