Watch the trailer below:\n\n\nSynopsis: \nGoing Attractions: The Definitive Story of Movie Palaces celebrates the grandeur of the great cinemas of the United States. Built in the 1910s-30s\, when movies were the acme of entertainment and the stories were larger than life\, so were the venues designed to show them: Thousands of seats\, giant screens\, exotic and ornate interiors with balconies and lounges\, in-house organs and orchestras\, amazing marquees\, and air conditioning back when homes had none. The film also tracks the theaters’ eventual decline\, through to current-day preservation efforts. The film is tribute to America’s great art form and the great monuments created for audiences to enjoy them in.\n\n\nDETAILS: \nThis is a fun social gathering for all members and non-members to enjoy this silent film classic!
