About Music & Film
In Hollywood's Golden Age, a trip to the picture palace was an event in itself. Gilded lobbies, organ music swelling before the curtain rose, and the flicker of a newsreel before the feature — it was an evening of pure, unhurried wonder. Even the popcorn had its own ceremony, scooped high in a striped box from a brightly lit stand near the ticket booth.
