Films, or "moving pictures" as they were called back then, were shown in vaudeville house as a novelty. Vaudeville was America's main form of entertainment, akin to the comedy and variety shows of the 60's and 70's. It wasn't until after World War I that true movie houses became popular across the U.S.
