Well, I think I remember that I read that long ago as well, but later on I read that the typical shutter discs rotate three times as fast as the film moves nowadays. I guess they couldn't make the film transport mechanism fast enough back then. Today they are using low air pressure devices to suck the individual frames into place... :-P
Low air... whatever? I'm outdated. Sigh.

blocking the light source two times per frame. But in order to do that they have to compensate the dark periods with higher brightness, ie,
They still do. Though the black period is typically shorter now than the lit period.
And, returning a bit to "topic". I wonder if sometime in the future we will see digital cinema, kind of super-high-definition-dvd. The definition in film is tremendous, more so with the 70mm film; coupled with the brightness and size of the screen is something the digital world can not reach yet, AFAIK.
?!? Since we have 3 movie theaters with digital projectors here in Nuremberg now, I don't like going to the regular projektor cinemas any longer. Well, have to, as not all films are shown in digital quality... Digital projection gets rid of all jiddering, the colors are much more vivid, resolution is really good enough for me, even typically better than with film - so for me the digital world is already there.
So I guess it's save to assume this improved a bit :) 48Hz is barely enough to have a steady image...
The slight headache is part of going to the movies experience :-)
