Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nascent motion picture industry from its inception to the events of 1913. This was a period of rapid development and innovation, the author argues, due in no small part to the tireless advocacy of the exhibitors. They fought against censorship, challenged the status quo, and tirelessly championed the reputation of the medium in the face of adversity. At the time of writing, the industry was poised at the cusp of major change. A system of nationally standardized censorship was under way, and there was speculation that a shift from three or four-reel programs to longer ones might be on the horizon.
