Richard Abel investigates the role of local Detroit organizations in producing, distributing, exhibiting, and publicizing films in an effort to make moviegoing part of everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerhaps foremost among these insights is the book's powerful reminder that movie theatres during this period were environments for a rich multimedia and intermedial experience where performers on stage were just as important as those on the screen.
