This book examines why thousands of cinemas opened in Britain in
the space of a few years before the start of the First World War.
It explains how they were the product of an investment boom which
observers characterised as economically irrational and
irresponsible. Burrows profiles the main groups of people who
started cinema companies during this period, and those who bought
shares in them, and considers whether the early cinema business
might be seen as a bubble that burst. The book examines the impact
of the Cinematograph Act 1909 upon the boom, and explains why
British film production seemed to decline in inverse proportion to
the mass expansion of the market for moving image entertainment.
This account also takes a new look at the development of film
distribution, the emergence of the feature film and the creation of
the British Board of Film Censors. Making systematic and pioneering
use of surviving business and local government records, this book
will appeal to anyone interested in silent cinema, the history of
film exhibition and the economics of popular culture.
