History of Memphis Movie Theaters.By MareIt was perfect! My boyfriend is in film production and not from Memphis so he thought it was super neat!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. The history of Memphis cinema palaces comes aliveBy Skip HowardAs a lifelong Memphian and history buff; I was very pleased to see this included in Arcadia Publishing Companys Images of America Series. While Memphis history has been well represented among the titles; I always thought a history of Memphis theaters since the turn of the last century would be a wonderful addition to books about our local history. Fortunately; fellow Memphian Vincent Astor believed this as well; and spent the last two years combing through local archives for information and photos to supplant his already tremendous knowledge of local movie theater history and memorabiliamdash;knowledge and memorabilia which he shares with interested audiences from time to time.Memphis was a city that was once defined by movie palace names like Lyceum; Warner; Lowes State; Majestic and many; many more which fell to the wrecking ball in decades past. It is a city which boasts the remnants of Film Row storefronts south of downtown business district; where film companies once did distribution business from the 20s to the 60s; and into which brick and granite facades the chiseled names of "First National Pictures" and "Metro Goldwyn Mayer" can still be clearly seenmdash;not to mention an old color mosaic medallion that once marked the office of Paramount Pictures.Even though many of the grand movie palaces that dotted downtown and were sprinkled in neighborhoods throughout the city were razed to the ground over the last half century; others have been repurposed; beginning with the Orpheum Theatre; a beautiful 1928 movie palace that replaced a previous theater of the same name that was destroyed by fire in 1923. After two multi-million-dollar renovations; the Orpheum; now serves as a full-time venue for presentation of Broadway touring productions; concert productions; opera and ballet productions; and also serves the community with an educational component for hundreds of thousands of Mid-South students. The Majestic has been repurposed into the Majestic Grill; a mid-range fine dining establishment which retains its movie theater exterior. These two theaters are well covered in this volume; along with those that are no longer part of the citys landscape.ldquo;Images of America: Memphis Movie Theatresrdquo; needs to be on your Christmas book list. Lavishly illustrated and painstakingly researched; this book is both a window on the past and a social history of those days long gone.
