NG相关拓展The cinema did not emerge as a form of mass consumption until its technology evolved from the initial peepshowformat to the point where images were projected on a screen in a darkened theater. In the peepshow format, a film wasviewed through a small opening in a machine that was created for that purpose. Thomas Edisons peepshow device, theKinetoscope, was introduced to the public in 1894. It was designed for use in Kinetoscope parlors, or arcades, whichcontained only a few individual machines and permitted only one customer to view a short, 50-foot film at any one time.The first Kinetoscope parlors contained five machines. For the price of 25 cents (or 5 cents per machine), customersmoved from machine to machine to watch five different films (or, in the case of famous prizefights, successive rounds ofa single fight).These Kinetoscope arcades were modeled on phonograph parlors, which had proven successful for Edison severalyears earlier. In the phonograph parlors, customers listened to recordings through individual ear tubes, moving from onemachine to the next to hear different recorded speeches or pieces of music. The Kinetoscope parlors functioned in asimilar way.
