description: Front Missouri's Grand Theatres by Mary Bagley 0911891048 Black textured paper boards, gilt lettering, burgundy endpapers. 4to. 176pp. Illus. (color and b/w plates). Index. "Some of the largest, most ornate and most lavish theatres have been built in Missouri. Opera and vaudeville houses, legitimate theatres, movie palaces, showboats and outdoor theatres all have at one time or another flourished in Missouri and left behind not only architectural treasures, but fond memories. There is the old Thespian Hall in Boonville built in 1857, the magnificent Fox in St. Louis, and the beautiful Midland in Kansas City - the large stage at the river-spanning Muny in St. Louis has no peer as well as the fireproof Shepherd of the Hills in Branson."
