Description
This is the first scholar work to document the cinema habits of early twentieth-centre Scots, exploring the growth of early cinema-going and integrating the study of cinema as a business, on documentation kept by cinema managers, and on the diaries and recollections of cinema-goers. He considers patterns of cinema-going and attendance levels, as well as changes in audience preferences for different genres, stars or national origins of films. The thematic chapters broaden out the discussion of cinema-going to consider the wider and social and cultural impact of this early form of mass leisure. Trevor Griffith’s book is a major contribution to the growing body of work on the history and significance of British film.
