First Drive In Movie Theater

Thomas Lincoln Tally, proprietor of arcades and phonograph parlors, opened his Electric Theatre in Los Angeles during the spring of 1902. The actual date of the theater’s opening varies among sources, the most often cited being April 2nd, 6th, and 16th. Before Tally’s Electric Theatre, motion pictures were often exhibited in existing storefronts or vaudeville theaters. Tally’s was the first building constructed for the sole purpose of showing movies. The theater was open from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm in the beginning, but Tally added matinee showtimes to accommodate its many customers. Screenings were often sold out, no matter the time or day. Tally’s initial success spurred on the wave of construction of more movie theaters, about 3,000 in the U.S. by 1907 and 10,000 by 1910. It is also worth noting that Tally’s Electric Theatre was not a nickelodeon. Though the term is sometimes used loosely today, by definition it only applies to movie theaters that charged five cents (a nickel) for admission. Tally’s charged ten cents as mentioned in an early advertisement:

The story of the drive-in movie theater begins with one man. That man was Richard Milton Hollingshead, Jr., born on February 25, 1900, the "father" of the drive-in.

According to Film Art, it consists of “setting, costume and makeup, lighting, and staging” (Bordwell 115). In “The Wizard of OZ” these aspects of Mise-en-Scene all come together to make up a spectacular viewing experience. Created in 1939 and directed by Victor Fleming, “The Wizard of Oz” was one of the first successful Technicolor films. Since this film was shot primarily in color, it gave the directors and costume designers many new opportunities to use color in ways that they hadn’t been able to before. The main point I will be demonstrating is how the filmmakers effectively used color and costuming to convey certain feelings and messages throughout the film.

Stockbroker on the verge of turning thirty is on a quest. Set in 1960 New Orleans during Mardi Gras Binx, an upper class southern gentleman sets out to find out about himself. Answer questions that have tugged at his soul. Questions about despair, everydayness, religion and romance. Binx is stuck in a quagmire. He must break out from this cloak of ennui and find the essence of being. But how? How can people, a person with a soul and a world at their fingertips be so inept at finding what makes them alive. Can it be found in religion or on the arm of a southern beauty? Maybe it can be found in the surrealism of a movie, or the excitement of making money. What if an answer is found?

Nestled near the historic and internationally-renowned San Antonio Missions, Mission Marquee Plaza is an area rich in history and considered to be one of San Antonio’s cultural gems. For generations, many families in San Antonio gathered at the site to watch movies when it served as the former Mission Drive-In Theater. Having opened on March 27, 1948, the Mission Drive-In Theater serviced the city for more than half a century, but eventually closed down in 2003.

Movies were becoming one of the biggest businesses during the 1920s and most people would spend their leisure time going to the theatre to watch the silent films.

The first place to look when you are looking into the history of film is the 1900s. The 1900s to 1910 is when the very first film machine was invented and used for the first time. The early technology of film was invented by and demonstrated by Raoul Gromain-sanson. Raoul presented his Cineorama system in the early 1900s. “Cineorama featured an enormous panoramic screen, onto which were projected ten simultaneous images side

On Tuesday, November 29th at 5:00 P.M. I went to the a cultural event in CCU's movie theatre. This event was watching a movie called "Indochine." I believe it was said that this movie was the third installment of Edwards College Film Series put on by the Department of History.

The main character was a French woman named Eliane who worked in the rubber fields, she basically managed Vietnamese workers who worked in her fields. She has an adopted Vietnamese daughter named Camille, who is very beautiful, she's supposed to be having an arranged marriage, but that soon changes when she meets a young Navy officer named Jean-Baptiste who saves her life and she falls

Customers typically come to our theater to watch movies, and not to interact with the employees. Yet, I have found this customer-employee interaction the most important part of my job. For over a year, I have been working at the Pioneer 3 Theater in Nebraska City, Nebraska. At the theater, I have learned how vital customer service is and effective communication skills.

Everything as a beginning and that includes the Oscars. The very first Academy Awards Ceremony was privately held on May 16, 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. The ceremony is infamous for being the only one held privately. There were no recording of any kind made public, and winners were simply announced in the newspapers. The hosts of the ceremony were William C. DeMille and Douglas Fairbanks, who was the president of the Motion Picture Academy at the time. Then event only lasted 15 minutes and managed to bring in only 270 people. Most of the nominees were notified in advance they had won, thus ensuring their attendance. The first film to win best picture was the silent war epic, Wings. The first actors to receive an award were Emil

If I could have helped Blockbuster I would have expanded in other types of companies like Family video bringing in a pizzeria, or real-estate- maybe an arcade or something something to generate other customers to keep the main business afloat. Maybe do video streaming like Netflix as well. But it didn’t seem like they wanted to adapt to change or innovation. That was their main downfall. So I would have pushed innovation on them to try new businesses and ideas for blockbuster
