The story of movies began in an other continent: It was in Europe, in Paris that Auguste and Louis Lumiére--- after several years of experimenting--- showed a film on the screen for the first time (on 28th of Dec. 1895.), for a paying audience. However the first film- making companies were founded in America and the new industry soon took wings in Hollywood.

One of the first companies, the United Artists, was founded by Douglas Fairbanks ---the fearless hero of silent films--- and his wife Mary Pickford and in a short time they were said to be the uncrowned king and queen of Hollywood.
