註釋Elegant "movie palaces" by the hundreds once graced American cities and towns, but television, suburbia, and shopping malls doomed virtually all. This is the story of one survivor: the ornate, 2,900-seat former Loew's State Theatre in Syracuse, N.Y., midwife to the Shubert theater chain, Variety, and other entertainment icons. In news stories, personal recollections, and some fifty illustrations - nearly three dozen in color - "Movie Palace Masterpiece" documents this Hindu-Persian-Oriental treasure's conception, 1928 debut, "golden years," near-destruction, and dramatic rescue. It is an extraordinary saga, evoking a memorable era.
