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 a paying public were the Lumiere Btothers of France. They did this on the 20th February 1896 at the Grand Cafe, Boulevard des Capucines, Paris. This was the first cinema show and it was quickly followed by many others in all parts of the world. All the 1996 we celebrated the hundredth anniversary of cinematography.
The first films showed moving people and transport or newsreels of processions and wars, and short comedies. In 1901 France was the first country to produce a dramatic film, The Story of a Crime, which was followed by The Great Train Robbery in the United States in 1903.
At first, films were shown anywhere: in music halls, clubs and shops. By 1908, special film theatres were being built 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. At that time the world was crazy about Charlie, that was created by Charlie Spencer Chaplin. His Charlie, small and clumsy yet kind-hearted, generous and brave, has attracted the hearts of simple people in different countries. Sometimes they would stand in long queues to see a film with their favourite actor. The first films in the West were mainly melodramas or comedies.
Then, in 1927, Warner Brothers in Hollywood made the first film in which an actor sang and spoke. The film was called Jazz Singer. It opened a new era in films - the era of the “talkies”. The film mostly told its story with titles, but it had three songs and a short dialogue. There were long lines of people in front of the Warner Theatre in New York. The silent film was dead within a year. The first one hundred percent sound film. Lights of New York, appeared in 1928.
The first colour films were made in the 1930s, but the black-and-white films are made even today.

ПЕРЕКЛАД
Кіно набагато молодше театру. Воно народилося в кінці 19 століття. Перші людьми, які показали перші фільми за плату стали брати Люм'єр з Франції. Вони зробили це 20 лютого 1896 у Гранд-Кафе, Бульвар Капуцинів в Парижі. Це був перший кіносеанс, і за ним швидко пішли багато інших у всіх частинах світу. У 1996 році всі ми відзначали 100-річчя кінематографа.
Перші фільми показували переміщення людей і транспорту або кінохроніки воєн, а також короткі комедії. У 1901 році Франція стала першою країною, яка справила драматичне кіно "Історія одного злочину", за яким послідувало "Велике пограбування поїзда" в Сполучених Штатах в 1903 році.
Спочатку, фільми показувалися в будь-якому місці: в концертних залах, клубах і магазинах. До 1908 року були побудовані спеціальні театри фільмів, які давали регулярні програми. В даний час спостерігається стрімкий розвиток кіно Нового і Старого Світу. Чарлі Чаплін зробив свій перший фільм, "Заробляючи на життя", в 1914 році в США. У той час світ був у захваті від Чарлі, який був створений Чарльзом Спенсером Чапліном. Його "Чарлі", маленький і незграбний, але в той же час ще й добрий, щедрий і сміливий, привернув серця простих людей в різних країнах. Іноді люди стояли в довгих чергах, щоб подивитися фільм з улюбленим актором. Першими фільмами на Заході були, в основному, мелодрами і комедії.
Потім, в 1927, Ворнер Бразерс в Голлівуді зробили перший фільм, в якому актор співав і говорив. Фільм був названий "Співак джазу". Він відкрив нову еру в кіно - еру "говорять". Фільм основному розповідав свою історію титрами, але в ньому було 3 пісні і короткий діалог. Були довгі черги людей перед Уорнер театром в Нью-Йорку. Німі фільми померли протягом року. Перший стовідсотково звуковий фільм "Вогні Нью-Йорка", з'явився в 1928 році.
Перші кольорові фільми були зроблені в 1930-і роки, але чорно-білі фільми продовжують робити і сьогодні.
