Maltin writes of the book:
“If you love movie theaters and their history, you’ll want to explore this well-illustrated volume with a regional point of view To quote its cover blurb, ‘This book provides a highly readable and richly detailed account of the origins of American film in Central New York, the colorful history of neighborhood theaters in Syracuse and the famous film personalities who got their start in the unlikely snow belt of New York State.’ Appendices include a listing of drive-ins and theater organs in central New York State, and biographical sketches of movie people who were either born in the area or attended school there, ranging from Pearl White and Jackie Coogan to Gil Cates.”
