Abstract

This article analyses the adaptation of Brazilian movie theaters to sound film projection with special attention to the local particularities and its economic and technologic dimensions. It is described how this process took place nationwide, identifying three different phases: the arrival of the talkies in the main Brazilian cities (1929-1930); the slow expansion of sound projection in the secondary circuit (1931-1933); and the difficulties of technology standardization (1934-1935).
