Title
Le cinéma des premiers temps à Montréal et l’institution du théâtre
Abstract
The author presents a portrait of the relationships between early cinema and theatrical institutions in turn of the twentieth-century Montreal. Early cinema played a key role in the strategies of emergence of the city's Francophone theatre, then in the process of distinguishing itself from Montreal's Anglophone theatre, with its strong New York-based connection, as well as acting as an attraction in a context of fierce competition. This led not only to mixed houses, where theatre and cinema shared the stage, but also to a deeper interpenetration of the two art forms, resulting in the first appearance of a dramatic cinema in Quebec. Although the focus of the author's article is on Montreal's Francophone theatre, he does give information on the city's Anglophone theatrical entrepreneurs.
