Summary: Nickleodeon Theatres and Their Music - A short Review
Review: "Nickleodeon Theatres and Their Music" is a compreensive book about the first years of the art of film making. It has a historical aproach full of documentation, including several transcriptions of original texts from the period of the silent movies. The book also presents a good collection of printed material, like photographs and fac-similes, that gives the reader a lot of visual information and an extremely pleasant time. Another interesting thing is the information about the production of the music in the Nickleodeons. In this subject the book contains the most detailed information about the automatic instruments I've ever seen. For all above, I recomend "Nickleodeon Theatres and Their Music" for all specialists and all the lovers of the silent film era. This is a book that should appear in any bibliography about the film art and, particularly, of film music.
