"The Last Remaining Seats is a photographical tour-de-force of classic motion picture theatres from the golden age of Hollywood and the silver screen, when going to the movies was an esthetic experience long before the lights went down and the screen lit up. " - Midwest Book Review
"When I was young movie palaces were the rule rather than the exception, and I can't help but think that young people today who see films either on video or in those cramped little cinder-block spaces in the multiplexes are missing a magical experience. The splendor of the great old theaters was a big part of what once made movie going such a communal experience. These photographs at least allow a glimpse of what was a splendid moment in American culture that is now sadly over." - Martin Scorsese, Director
