Shop girls and factory hands paying a nickel to watch silent Westerns in a variety bill at the Music Hall; the "sophisticated" clientele of New York's modernist art-house cinemas; the sold-out opening weekends at shopping-mall megaplexes; FilmAid screenings of Charlie Chaplin in refugee camps in Afghanistan... the ways in which American and global audiences have viewed movies are as rich and varied a part of cinematic history as anything shown on the silver screen.
