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, which was created by Charlie Spencer Chaplin. His Charlie, small and clumsy yet kind-hearted, generous and brave, hae attracted the hearts of simple peaple in different countries. Sometimes they stood 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 e 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. 1. When was the cinema born? 2. Who showed the first movies? 3.
