Theatre owners in small towns and big cities alike built new showplaces in this style or renovated older buildings to catch the mood of the moment. Streamlined with flowing curves in gleaming metal, replete with geometric patterns and a wealth of frosted and mirrored glass, these "moderne" theatres were the height of fashion through the 1930s and 1940s, and they remain cherished landmarks.".

Glittery & colorful movie theatre facades & marquees have tempted Americans to step inside & see films for 100 years. In the late 1920s, the old exotic style of huge theatres gave way to smaller buildings in a version of the Art Deco style. Streamlined with flowing curves in gleaming metal, replete with geometric patterns & a wealth of frosted & mirrored glass, these moderneÓ theatres were the height of fashion through the 1930s & 1940s, & they remain cherished landmarks. Noted realist painter Cone has made these classic movie theatres the subject of all of his paintings, 80 of which are reproduced here in stunning color. Also, relates the changing economics of the movie bus., tells how films were dist., & describes the new architectural design.

Enter Valentino, a mild-mannered UCLA film archivist. In the surreal world of Hollywood filmdom, truth is often stranger than celluloid fiction. When Valentino buys a decrepit movie palace and uncovers a skeleton in the secret Prohibition basement, he's not really surprised. But he's staggered by a second discovery: long-lost, priceless reels of film: Erich von Stroheim's infamous Greed. The LAPD wants to take the reels as evidence, jeopardizing the precious old film. If Valentino wants to save his find, he has only one choice: solve the murder within 72 hours with the help of his mentor, the noted film scholar Broadhead, and Fanta, a feisty if slightly flaky young law student. Between a budding romance with a beautiful forensics investigator and visions of Von Stroheim's ghost, Valentino's madcap race to save the flick is as fast and frenetic as a classic screwball comedy. A quirky cast of characters, smart dialogue and a touch of romance make Frames Estleman's most engaging and accessible novel to date. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

By the end of the Second World War, a growing segment of the American filmgoing public was wearying of mainstream Hollywood films and began to seek out something different. In major cities and college towns across the country, art film theaters provided a venue for alternatives to the films playing in main-street movie palaces: British, foreign-language, and independent American films, as well as documentaries and revivals of Hollywood classics. A skeptical film industry dubbed such cinemas "sure seaters," convinced that patrons would have no trouble finding seats there. However, with the success of art films like Rossellini's Open City and Mackendrick's Tight Little Island, the meaning of the term "sure seater" changed and, by the end of the 1940s, reflected the frequency with which art house cinemas filled all their seats. Wilinsky examines the development of the theaters that introduced such challenging, personal, and artistic films as The Bicycle Thief and The Red Shoes to American audiences, and offers a more complete understanding of postwar popular culture and the often complicated relationship between art cinema and the commercial film industry that ultimately shaped both and resulted in today's vibrant film culture. -- from back cover.

Out of his years of experience in working with children, Zingher identifies some of the powerful and evocative themes of childhood, and explores why these touch children so deeply. He encourages professionals who work with children in school, camp, club and library settings to consider using these themes to develop thoughtful and creative programs and units of study. Included are recommended books and videos that illustrate each theme, questions for discussion, possible starting points (readalouds, stories to be told, sensory experiences, interesting objects etc), follow-up activities, and examples of fully described and developed thematic journeys. In this time of standards and accountability, this book reminds us of the joy of teaching and learning, and the power of the imagination.

This novel is the story of a European immigrant woman, very charming and attractive to men, attempting to become a rich American. It is also the story of Rick Stevens search, despite his sexual hang-ups, for the ideal wife. Kert von Fielding was in her mid thirties when she made her first voyage aboard the MS Gripsholm, sailing from Helsinki, Finland, to New York City. Kert had majored in languages at Helsinki University where she earned both a B.A. and an M.A., and had later worked as a translator. She knew five langagesFinish, Swedish, English, French, and German. She hoped someday to obtain translating work in New York City. But this first time in the states, she visited her cousins in Salem on the Lake, a small town in Ohio on the banks of Lake Erie. While there, she made the acquaintance of Mart Appleby, ten years her junior, and the son of the highly esteemed and supposedly wealthy Municipal Court Judge of the townCalvin W. Appleby II. Their friendship, during the summer of 1957, ripened into an intense love affair, involving a lot of sex. She fell madly in love with Mart Appleby and thought he loved her in return. She was mistaken, but she kept sending him love letters after he went to the West Virginia Institute of Technology where he was employed as a psychology/sociology assistant professor. Mart did not answer any of Kerts letters. Then, failing at this affair, she turned to his older half- brother,Rick Stevens, who was closer to her age, five years her junior. Rick was interested but wary. She discussed with him her plan to become an American citizen by marrying an American. Rick, a new high school science teacher, was conservative and not nearly as daring as his younger half-brother Mart. Kert definitely preferred Mart as a mate instead of Rick. But shed marry Rick as a means to an endobtaining her citizenshipand then leave. She figured she could hide in New York City. When her VISA expired she returned to Helsinki, Finland. While there she wrote numerous letters to Rick, finally writing lovey-dovey type letters. She told him she would return to visit. She returned to New York City the next year aboard the MS Gripsholm. During the seven-day passage she had a shipboard romance with a handsome and congenial man in his mid thirties, Chad Power, an assistant professor of English at Hunter College in NYC and the son of a multimillionaire. Without giving away any more of the story, suffice it to say that Kert, using sex and her feminine wiles and machinations, managed to be married to two handsome virile men at the same time, without either of them being aware of her duplicity, and to obtain her citizenship twice. Did Kert ever become rich? You will need to read the book to find out. And, please dont skip around.

The Oldest Story in the World is a brooding, daring, idiosyncratic exploration of the secret strength of storytelling, in which Phil Cousineau addresses the central theme that runs through all his work, the transportive power of words. Written as a mosaic of meditations, this lyrical book ranges from a twelve-thousand-year-old Aboriginal tale, to a mystical Viking story, a venerable myth from the Seneca, and a modern parable from the world of house painters in San Francisco. Wrapped around the marvels he has collected from around the world are Cousineau's own edgy ruminations, which illuminate the irrepressible impulse for storytelling.
