Reviews

Headley brings a scholar's penchant for detail and a movie fan's obsession to the book --<i>The Baltimore Sun</i>; a very detailed history of movie exhibition in Baltimore...really like the listing in each chapter of what theatres existed in one given year during the period --<i>Marquee</i>.
