Description
“The Reel Story” catalogues the cinemas built in the Hastings and Napier central business districts during this period. This book also tell the stories of ‘show stoppers’ – when disasters such as the 1931 Hawke’s Bay Earthquake wrecked and closed every cinema in the Hastings and Napier, and the triumphant rebuilding in magnificent Art Deco and Spanish Mission styles. There are also tributes to some managers and projectionists from a bygone era: when the age of the ‘showman’ was truly alive.
Relive the cinema nostalgia of your youth, an be fascinated by this well-loved industry with the pages of this book.
