The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Showgirl in Hollywood is a 1930 American pre-Code musical film with Technicolor sequences, produced and distributed by First National Pictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Pictures. The film stars Alice White, Jack Mulhall, and Blanche Sweet. It was adapted from the 1929 novel Hollywood Girl by J.P. McEvoy. Al Jolson, Ruby Keeler, Noah Beery, Walter Pidgeon, and Loretta Young make cameo appearances in the final reel, which was photographed in Technicolor. Showgirl in Hollywood is a sequel to the 1928 Warner Bros. silent film Show Girl, which starred Alice White as Dixie Dugan. A French version of the film, titled Le masque d'Hollywood, was directed by Clarence G. Badger and John Daumery. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
