CINEMA, LOVE MY
HOW WAS BORN A BARI
On March 1, 1895, the Lumière brothers introduced "Arroseur arrosé er ' during their first screening: short scenes of a boy who made fun of a garden, trampled the cane with which he was watering. Jokes of this type accounted for cinema. Most of the film was composed by a single shot, the camera was always kept in the same position, and the action took place in a time of one shot.
In 1899, manufacturers began to make films with different views. A Eugene promo attributes the invention of the camera movement: the cameras were supported by fixed tripod which did not allow the machine to rotate or panning. At the cinema, you could see a white sheet over the image of person walk, jump and do many other moves svelte or slow, funny or silly. They were no longer the puppet, but a dark room and improvised that aroused the most attention.

TEN MINUTES WITH PIANO - A Bari, Via Sparano, the photographer Fiorese opened the first room, giving a performance that lasted just ten minutes and he did see a dip, jump, going forward and back of a person or an animal and some joke. But those ten minutes but were not a century. But the first cinema film was "Argiro", located on a street corner Argiro Piccinni. Opened in 1907, its managers were Giacinto De Rosa and Mario Sortino. Seated are paid peanuts and walk in two separate places in addition to its price of sixpence. A piano accompanied the representation for the duration, and was often the poor teacher who spent the trouble when the film broke several times while it was dark (the electricity was not widespread and was replaced by gas).
Max Linder was the actor who was more fun, along with Oscar Polidoro and to end the farce. The first film of the cashiers were Joseph Montone and Nicola Fiore. Collaborated with conductors drivers Martyr Cincinnatus, and Chillin Arciuli, very proud of their work. The result of that Bari was simple, naive, docile and noisy. For these reasons, the great lords of that time in the evening, before or after their detention at the cafe or pub Stoppani Civadda went to stay at the cinema.
The first agency to distribute the film, was given by Commander Richard The Eltore, with headquarters at Calefati, and was the first Italian manufacturer Cives of Rome. Around 1911, Piccinni on the same street, corner of Via Cavour opened a cinema and variety called "The Parisian," the origin of the owner who came from France, but that seemed a Neapolitan dialect nellka or Bari. This cinema had to close the tightness of the premises soon. In Corso Vittorio Emanuele opened another film that was named "World." The importance of film footage was provided by more than the subject .. Around 1909 a committee of well-off, on the side of the sea that lies in front of Corso Vittorio Emanuele, closed at one end from the seat of firefighters and the other from the garden Margherita, built on stilts, a large cinema which lasted for three years, for unspecified reasons, one evening in 1912 completely burned.
the evening before the fire the famous soubrette Tecla Scarano gave a show to celebrate his night of honor, which was a real triumph. At the beginning of 1912 opened several rooms: the 'Trianon' in the middle of the Botanical off, the movie "Cavour" in the corner of Via Cavour Via Principe Amedeo, the "Savoy" Via Cavour Putignani street corner and the "Lux" Calefati on the road, between via and via Argiro Melo. The latter two run by Giacinto De Rosa and his partner Fiorese resisted little. The "Cavour" by Gaetano Carbone lasted longer until a cinema was built in wood, the 'East', with the entrance on Via De Giosa.
the Allied occupation - At the beginning of 1919 was created the film "Umberto" between street Crisanzio Ark and Nicholas. Around 1929 it was opened a cinema and variety under the name "Eden." In the cinema of the 'Margherita', Sunday at 10 were the Matinèe that filled film students, especially secondary schools. The most popular was the film "Umberto. The tickets cost a pound, half pound for the military and children. All the films were projected by Tom Mix, sometimes giants such as "Ramona." The chairs were made of metal and wood with movable seat. With the Allied occupation that was the first cinema to reopen with American movies still in the original language captions related to language or dubbed into Italian-American. For the spectacle of the evening at the cinema we used to dress with elegance.
All that happened is worthy of remembrance, for good or for ill. However, the myth of the atmosphere of a big-screen movie theater is in no way comparable to that of a TV. Modern DVD than the old "pizza" only modern but not the charm.
