Naylor believes that few buildings in America are as spectacular and marvelously original as movie theaters. But in many towns and cities some of these great theaters are lost forever, torn down or destroyed by neglect. In this book, Naylor recaptures the spirit of the old movie theaters, and shows where to find and see the hundreds that remain. He describes these architectural wonders in detail, providing evidence of why the picture palaces and movie houses of the past now share a treasured place in the national memory.
