[02:00.74]Early Films

[02:02.28]The earliest films were short,lasting only one minute or less.

[02:10.72]Soon 20-minutes pictures of news items were being shown in theaters.

[02:45.17]A short time later,theaters showed one hour's short films only for five cents.

[03:18.35]Soon"movie star"won fame wherever films were shown.By 1915 the more popular stars were earning as much as $2,000 a week,and large theaters were being built downtown in all the larger cities to show films alone.
