American cinema

There are three main varieties of movie theaters in the USA:

• the "first-run" movie houses, which show new films;
• "art theaters", which specialize in showing foreign films and revivals;
• "neighborhood theaters", which run films — sometimes two at a time — after the "first-run" houses .

. The cinematograph based on Edison’s kinetoscope was invented by two Frenchmen, Louis and Auguste Lumiere.
