What did our Scottish grandparents and great grandparents see at
the cinema? What thrilled them on the silver screen? This is the
first scholarly work to document the cinema habits of early
twentieth-century Scots, exploring the growth of early cinema-going
and integrating the study of cinema into wider debates in social
and economic history. The author draws extensively on archival
resources concerning the cinema as a business, on documentation
kept by cinema managers, and on the diaries and recollections of
cinema-goers. He considers patterns of cinema-going and attendance
levels, as well as changes in audience preferences for different
genres, stars or national origins of films. The thematic chapters
broaden out the discussion of cinema-going to consider the wider
social and cultural impact of this early form of mass leisure.
Trevor Griffiths' book is a major contribution to the growing body
of work on the history and significance of British film. Key
features: first major study of early Scottish film; new archives
and research; fascinating diary entries; early cinema as business;
and, important addition to Scottish film studies.
