Revisit and celebrate the splendor and grandeur of the great movie palace cinemas, built at a time when movies were the acme of entertainment, the stories were larger than life… and so were the venues designed to show them! Thousands of seats, giant screens, exotic and ornate interiors, balconies and lounges, in-house organs and orchestras… all were hallmarks of these sanctuaries of escape. The history, eventual decline, and today’s preservation efforts are as cinematic as the films the movie palaces showed.
