How It All Began

Cinema is much younger than theatre. It was born at the end of the 19th century. The first people who showed the first movies to the public ['pʌblɪk] were the Lumier ['lu:miɛə] Brothers of France. They did it at the Grand Café, Boulevard des Capucines¹, Paris, on the 20th February 1896. This was the first cinema show. Very quickly cinema appeared in many other places in all parts of the world. The first films showed moving people and transport, then people were able to see short comedies on the screen. In 1901 France was the first country to produce a dramatic film, The Story of a Crime, then The Great Train Robbery² appeared in the United States in 1903. At first, people could see films anywhere: in music halls, clubs and shops. By 1908 special film theatres began to give regular programmes. At this time cinema rapidly developed in both the New and the Old World. Charlie Chaplin made his first film, Making a Living, in 1914 in the USA. The Russian film industry was now going on its own way. It produced such great films as Protazanov's The Queen of Spades (1916) and Father Sergius ['sɜ:dʒiəs] (1918). A little later

The Battleship "Potemkin" came to the screen. That was Russia's great achievement in cinema. The film director was Sergey Eisenstein ['aɪzənstaɪn]. In 1927, Warner Brothers¹ in Hollywood made the first film in which an actor sang and spoke. The film's title was Jazz [dʒæz] Singer. It had three songs and a short dialogue. That opened a new era [ɪərə] in films — the era of the "talkies", or sound films. The silent film was dead within a year. The first one hundred percent² sound film, Lights of New York, appeared in 1928, and the first colour films — in the 1930s.
