The essays in American Cinema 1890-1909 explore and define how the making of motion pictures flowered into an industry that would finally become the central entertainment institution of the world. Beginning with all the early types of pictures that moved, this volume tells the story of the invention and consolidation of the various processes that gave rise to what we now call "cinema." By examining the battles over patents, production, exhibition, and the reception of film, readers learn how going to the movies became a social tradition in American society. In the course of these two decades, cinema succeeded both in establishing itself among other entertainment and instructional media and in updating various forms of spectacle. 410 0$aScreen Decades: American Culture/American Cinema 606 $aMotion pictures - United States - History 606 $aMotion pictures - United States - Plots, themes, etc 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$xHistory$zUnited States 606 $aMotion pictures$xPlots, themes, etc$zUnited States 606 $aMusic, Dance, Drama & Film$2HILCC 606 $aFilm$2HILCC 615 4$aMotion pictures - United States - History. 615 4$aMotion pictures - United States - Plots, themes, etc. 615 4$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPlots, themes, etc 615 7$aMusic, Dance, Drama & Film 615 7$aFilm 676 $a791.430973/09034 702 $aGaudreault$b Andre, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782685903321 996 $aAmerican cinema, 1890-1909$91767164 997 $aUNINA
