Book Description:

This is the first and only book to position what are called "Soundies" within the broader cultural and technological milieu of the 1940s. Examining the dynamics between Soundies' short musical films, the Panoram's film-jukebox technology, their screening spaces and their popular discourse, Kelley provides an integrative approach to historic media exhibition.
