Originally issued as two volumes in 1927 and 1930, this is one of the very few books on theatres produced during the era when movie palaces were being built all across the country. It contains chapters on many design and operational aspects of theatres of the period, and is 368 pages, with 113 theatres, 275 photographs, 278 plans and illustrations. This high quality 2009 reprint, sponsored by Theatre Historical Society of America, is a single hard-bound volume in the original large format and using heavy acid-free paper. The cover features gold-stamped text and blue cloth binding. In addition to the alphabetical index, there are cross reference indexes by theatre name, location and architect, as well as a list of corrections and clarifications to the original edition.
