On January 24, 1897, the Frenchman Gabriel Veyre brought the cinematograph to Havana from Mexico City. The residents of the capital saw movies for the first time in 126 Paseo del Prado, next to the Tac\u00f3n Theater, today the Alicia Alonso Grand Theater. The visitor exhibited four short films: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Letters<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Train<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The irrigator and the boy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Funny Hat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Shortly after, Veyre himself would make the first film made in Cuba: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simulacro de incendio<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a short about Havana\u2019s firefighters, the same ones who seven years before, on May 17, 1890, had lost 25 of their troops in an explosion that occurred at the Isasi hardware store, on Mercaderes and Lamparilla.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-video fb_iframe_widget fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/OnCuba\/videos\/916831138412837\/\" data-width=\"500\" data-show-text=\"false\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"\" title=\"fb:video Facebook Social Plugin\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/v10.0\/plugins\/video.php?app_id=&amp;channel=https%3A%2F%2Fstaticxx.facebook.com%2Fx%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter%2F%3Fversion%3D46%23cb%3Df1707d4aeb92d1%26domain%3Doncubanews.com%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Foncubanews.com%252Ff7af2fc947c81c%26relation%3Dparent.parent&amp;container_width=840&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FOnCuba%2Fvideos%2F916831138412837%2F&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500\" name=\"fcef43f45b3854\" width=\"500px\" height=\"1000px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-testid=\"fb:video Facebook Social Plugin\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second step was the open-air movie theaters. In July 1909, the Miramar Garden was inaugurated, on Prado and Malec\u00f3n, near the famous Glorieta, the first venue of its kind in Havana, a modality that would become quite popular for some time. But with an obvious drawback: the public had to be out in the open in a country with a regime of May rains and downpours, as reflected in a well-known popular tune. Or having to get up from watching a film by the cowboy Tom Mix during the cold fronts coming from the North, which usually bring rain. Near the Garden, on Prado between \u00c1nimas and Virtudes, the Royal was built, also outdoors, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The third was the private houses set up as movie theaters, a reminder in time of the role of self-employment in Cuban life, although they did not cancel the work of theaters such as the current Mart\u00ed and the Payret, which were there practically from the beginning showing movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/scielo.sld.cu\/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&amp;pid=S1815-58982014000200004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">researchers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mar\u00eda Victoria Zardoya and Marisol Marrero,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on January 1, 1900, the premises used for the Niza movie theater, next to the Payret Theater, were opened, the first to place the program at the door of the premises, which was quite an event. In some cases, signs were also placed perpendicular to the second line of the fa\u00e7ade, which could be seen by whoever was passing by. In the portal, there were also the box offices for the sale of tickets, and in the oldest movie theaters, it was usual to find a commercial establishment or annexed confectionery for the sale of light food. In this way, the avenues\u2019 public portals became leisure corridors in which the movie theater coexisted with shops and recreational activities of a different nature.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And they later wrote:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the movie theaters born from the remodeling of a home, the Esmeralda, located on the Calzada de Monte, stands out, which conditioned the mandatory nature of the portal for public use with its adjoining buildings.

Parallel to the previous modalities, buildings designed specifically as movie theaters were emerging. Among historians, there is usually a consensus in recognizing that the first theater built as a movie theater in Havana was the Actualidades, in Monserrate between Neptuno and \u00c1nimas. Inaugurated on April 18, 1906, it is perhaps the oldest in Latin America and one of the few that are still standing. Certain specialists, however, give that condition to the Floredora movie theater, on Calzada del Cerro and Palatino, where the Maravillas movie theater stands, today in dire condition just like the rest of its neighborhood counterparts.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_236815\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-236815\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Actualidades-1024x683-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-236815\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Actualidades-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Actualidades (1906).

Between 1915 and 1920, the Fausto movie theater was built on Prado and Col\u00f3n, the most luxurious of its time. Nearby were the Maxim (Prado and Virtudes) and the Galatea (Prado and San Jos\u00e9), two of the highest category. Also famous was the Prado movie theater (Prado and Trocadero), renamed Margot in 1918.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redalyc.org\/pdf\/3768\/376834398004.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alejo Carpentier <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">attests that then\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the great movie theater boom began\u2026. And the screening rooms began to multiply in Havana, in such a way that just on Prado there was the Margot, the Fausto, the Prado, the Montecarlo, the Niza and one more whose name I don\u2019t remember; on San Rafael there was the Norma, there was the Inglaterra. And in short, there was already a movie theater in every neighborhood, there was a movie theater everywhere. Some for premieres, others of fashion days like the Fausto.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was like a kind of epidemic: movie theaters were even built inside the Sevilla and Miramar hotels, there in two places quite close to the Prado.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around that same time, there would be a change in the nationality of the movies that Havanans saw, as the Americans dominated over the European ones.

That year [1914] 12 Italian films had been released, one \u201cAmerican\u201d and three from other nationalities, in addition to a Cuban (<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La manigua o la mujer cubana<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). However, in 1919 the vast majority of those exhibited were \u201cAmerican\u201d&#8230;. Cuban screens showed actors and actresses such as Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Priscila Dean, Gloria Swanson and Lionel Barrymore, soon to be joined by Rodolfo Valentino. Although the Cuban movie <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los matrimonios salvavidas<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was also released, which recreated the wave of marriages that was unleashed to evade compulsory military service.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On October 20, 1921, the businessmen Santos and Artigas, the owners of the famous circus by the same name, inaugurated the Campoamor theater, on Industria and San Jos\u00e9, built at a cost of 300,000 pesos. The Campoamor would transcend, among other things, for having premiered in Cuba <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Jazz Singer<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, by Al Johnson, as is known, the first sound movie in history. This happened on February 15, 1928, a few weeks after it was exhibited in the United States on October 6, 1927.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1938, Havana had a double movie theater on San Rafael Street: Duplex and Rex, as there were in the United States. Then the Am\u00e9rica came to Galiano and Concordia, a true Art Deco fiesta. Designed by the architects Fernando Mart\u00ednez Campos and Pascual de Rojas, its capacity for 1,750 spectators made it a colossus. Its owner, Antonio Helder Rodr\u00edguez Cintra, operated it through the It\u00e1lica S.A. real estate company, to which another movie theater-theater also belonged, the Rodi in Vedado (the current Mella, L\u00ednea and A). The Am\u00e9rica opened its doors as a theater on March 29, 1941; eight years later it would begin to function as a movie theater. Also at that time the Fausto movie theater was demolished and rebuilt using that new style that pays tribute to the eclecticism of Havana, in this case, thanks to the work of the architect Saturnino Paraj\u00f3n y Amaro. And the Reina movie theater was also built, on the street of the same name, with identical aesthetics. It was one of the most significant buildings on that avenue and one of the most important movie theaters in the capital, with a capacity for 1,570 motion picture fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_236816\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-236816\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Campoamor_otm_1-2-1024x683-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-236816\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Campoamor_otm_1-2-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Campoamor_otm_1-2-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Campoamor_otm_1-2-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Campoamor_otm_1-2-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Campoamor_otm_1-2-1024x683-1-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-236816\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Campoamor.

There would be shown the first Cinerama movie, technology released in the United States in 1952.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before arriving at Infanta and L, another movie theater was built, designed by the Cuban architect Gustavo Botet, initially for the Tony Bowling Alley, but readjusted for use as such. In 1957, the Todd-AO system, made to compete with Cinerama, was unveiled there, with the exhibition of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around the World in 80 Days<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1956) and the performances of David Niven and Mario Moreno (Cantinflas).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A little further from La Rampa, on 23 and G, the Riviera movie theater was built on the same spot occupied by an old 1927 theater. Moving up a bit was the ultra-modern Atlantic movie theater, at 23 between 10 and 12, renamed as Charles Chaplin in July 1983. That \u201crow\u201d of movie theaters from P to 12 streets would close with the 23 y 12, inaugurated in 1941 but with another name: Astor. In 1952 it was modernized and given its current name.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_236818\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-236818\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Trianon_otm_1_otm_1-1024x683-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-236818\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Trianon_otm_1_otm_1-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Trianon_otm_1_otm_1-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Trianon_otm_1_otm_1-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Trianon_otm_1_otm_1-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Cine-Trianon_otm_1_otm_1-1024x683-1-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-236818\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Trian\u00f3n.

The Trian\u00f3n movie theater stood on L\u00ednea between A and B since 1920, designed by the architect Joaqu\u00edn Emilio Weiss y S\u00e1nchez, remodeled in 1955 and destined for the premiere of 20th Century Fox movies. Nearby, practically crossing the street, was the Rodi, built three years earlier, in November 1952. Undoubtedly one of the most luxurious in the capital, with a capacity for 1,887 spectators and built following the patterns of modern architecture. The trilogy of neighboring movie theaters was closed by the Olimpic, inaugurated in 1920 and turned into the Raquel Revuelta Theater in 2010 after many years of neglect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The panorama would be completed with an absolute novelty: car movie theaters, once again following the American model. In Havana there were three: the Novia del Mediod\u00eda, the Autocine de Tarar\u00e1 and the Autocine Vento, the first two with a capacity for 500 vehicles and the last for 866.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a whole, it is stated that in 1919 there were 42 movie theaters in Havana. And around 300 throughout the country. Forty years later, at the turn of the 1950s, according to the 19th annual edition of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anuario cinematogr\u00e1fico y radial cubano<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1959), there were 100 movie theaters in the capital. Undoubtedly, an important sociocultural fact. However, this figure has often been magnified in different articles that circulate on the Internet and social networks, a result of \u201cCuban exceptionalism\u201d and ultimately the discourse of nostalgia. The same perspective has led to spreading the idea that Cuba was the first country in Latin America to have television, which is not true: Mexico and Brazil were first, on August 31 and September 19, 1950, respectively. On October 24 of that year, Gaspar Pumarejo managed to launch Uni\u00f3n Radio TV Channel 4 on the air.
