28 December 1895 - AUDIENCE PAYS ADMISSION TO SEE A MOVIE: At the Grand
Cafe in Paris, brothers Louis and Auguste Lumière charge admission to
see short films they made about ordinary French life. It marks the first
time an audience has paid money to see a movie. The films are shown on
a hand-cranked camera-projector the brothers invented: the Cinematographe.
