Description

by Michael Hittman (Author)

Meet the Grand Dame of popular culture.

In 1928, the Brooklyn Paramount became the world's first motion picture theatre built expressly for the "Talkies." For more than three decades, this cinematic palace presented four genres of entertainment: film, Vaudeville, Rock and Roll, and Jazz-and many other unusual events.

In The Brooklyn Paramount Theatre, Professor Michael Hittman, historian for the revival of the Brooklyn Paramount by Live Nation, presents the comprehensive history of this storied theatre.

From the first screening of Manhattan Cocktail through Rudy Vallee and Ethel Waters in vaudeville, from all the early rock stars, Duke Ellington and other Jazz legends, to the last showing of Hatari in 1962, the Theatre's opulent past saturates every page.

Richly illustrated with vintage Brooklyn newspaper lithographs and never-before-seen photographs, The Brooklyn Paramount Theatre invites you to explore the vital stories of the people and events enshrining the Brooklyn Paramount Theatre's continuing legacy and legend.
