"During the short span of the nickelodeon
craze (from 1905 to 1909) moviegoers were less than affluent folks.
But theatre owneres who desired to make more money wanted a higher class
of patrons (in terms of income). By 1910 movie theatre owners had taken
direct aim on the emerging American middle class and with them would
create the most profitable mass entertainment industry in the history
of the United States to that time ... Years later the movies' first
home would be recalled with a nostalgic innocence celebrating a populist
shrine."
-- Douglas Gomery,
"The Nickelodeon Era,"
in Shared Pleasures: A History of Movie Presentation in the United
States,
(Madison, WI: Univ. of Wisconsin Press) 1992,
p. 29-30
