Book Synopsis Silver Screens by : Larry Widen

Book excerpt: Silver Screens traces the rich history of Milwaukee's movie theaters, from 1890s nickelodeons to the grand palaces of the Roaring Twenties to the shopping mall outlets of today. But the story doesn't end there: in the past two decades, growing interest in restoring theaters has confirmed that there's still life in these beloved structures. With the publication of Silver Screens, authors Larry Widen and Judi Anderson help ensure that our old theaters - both those being preserved and those long since vanished from the landscape - will remain forever embedded in our collective memory.
