| book description |

The Cinema Palace: Lost and Found is a fascinating journey through some of the greatest ever structures built for film. Most were built during the film heyday of the 1920s and 1930s, when spectacular picture palaces appeared to provide enticing locations for the then most popular form of entertainment. Important survivors are included, such as the stupendous Detroit Fox and its sister of the same name in St. Louis, together with a number which have been tragically lost, including London's amazing Trocadero, New York's opulent Roxy and the vast Gaumont Palace in Paris. The book will delight many as the author uncovers a vast array of spectacular picture houses in Britain, Europe, the USA, Canada, Australasia and India.
