Chapter 9: The path to the Nickleloden

My opinion about this quote is that individual entrepreneurs during the 1880's had to provide the public with movie theaters so that people could watch short movies. This quote also states that wealthy class had to obtain buildings that didn't belong to social groups during this period. It also means that they had to make movies that wasn't disrepectful to people. They had to make movies that appealed to the poor.
