Toronto Theaters and the Golden Age of the Silver Screen

Divided into sections that parallel the eras of Toronto's ongoing love affair with film, this book chronicles the early days of cinema in Toronto, the end of Nickelodeon, what the theater meant to social life in Toronto through the depression, the war years, the fifties and sixties, and what is happening on the current film scene in "Hollywood North." Taylor is a retired college and high school instructor who has published widely on the history of Toronto. Annotation 2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
