Title
The Fellows Who Dress the Pictures: Montreal Film Exhibitors in the Days of Vertical Integration (1912-1952)
Abstract
The author argues that, partly as a result of the difficult conditions prevailing in the city, where sizeable Francophone, Anglophone, and immigrant populations mingled, and where cinema had many powerful opponents, Montreal movie exhibitors in the first half of the twentieth century were granted a significant degree of control over their bookings by the heads of the Toronto and New York-based theatre chains.
