Abstract: "One hundred vivid color images by architectural photographers Robert Berger and Anne Conser record in lavish detail the spectacular, sumptuous, and often whimsical interiors of 16 of Los Angeles's most important movie palaces built during the '20s and '30s. This breathtaking book will thrill anyone interested in Hollywood's rich past and become a treasured cornerstone in the library of every movie buff."--Provided by publisher. "When I was young, movie palaces were the rule rather than the exception, and l can't help but think that young people today who see films either on video or in those cramped little cinder-block spaces in the multiplexes are missing a magical experience. The splendor of the great old theaters was a big part of what once made movie going such a communal experience. These photographs at least allow a glimpse of what was a splendid moment in American culture that is now sadly over."--Martin Scorsese, Director, quoted on back cover. 1997.
