When Richard M. Hollingshead Jr. first projected a movie onto a
white bedsheet stretched between two trees at his home in Camden,
New Jersey, in 1933, little did he know that he was on the verge of
creating an entirely new entertainment industry. With America just
beginning its romance with the automobile, it's no surprise that
the general public found this new form of moviegoing irresistible.
Fun and affordable, the drive-in quickly gained popularity among
families with young children. And, of course, the local drive-in
was a favorite weekend hangout for teenagers: a place where they
could go just to meet friends or take a sweetheart for a romantic
evening of movies under the stars. Although drive-ins are no longer
as popular as they once were, in many communities a devoted
following still seeks out the open-air theaters at twilight.
Cinema Under the Stars"" is a reminder of those wonderful
times, as well as a recounting of the history of the drive-in
experience. Here is the story, and here are the memories: B movies,
concession stands loaded with goodies, screen towers, ticket
booths, scratchy speakers, speaker poles, and intermission. It is
all here - a nostalgic look at one of America's all-time favorite
pastimes.""
