FIRST COMMERCIAL MOVIE SCREENING

The History of The Discovery of Cinematography - 1895 - 1900


On December 28, 1895, the world’s first commercial movie
screening
took place at the Grand Cafe in Paris. The film
was made by
Louis and Auguste Lumière, two French
brothers who developed a camera-projector called the
Cinematographe.

The Lumière brothers unveiled their invention to the public
in March 1895 with a brief film showing workers leaving the
Lumière factory.

On December 28, the entrepreneurial siblings screened a 
series of short scenes from everyday French life and they
charged admission for the first time.

Originating at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, United
Airlines Flight 173 stopped in Denver, and continued to
Portland on Thursday, December 28, 1978.

The pilot reported a problem with the plane’s nose landing
gear to the Portland tower, and, according to the
National
Transportation Safety Board report, 
failed to monitor properly
the aircraft’s fuel state and to properly respond to the low
fuel state
. The Board blamed pilot error for the crash

After circling Portland International Airport the DC-8 ran out
of fuel and crashed into two vacant houses and a grove of
trees at East Burnside Street, five miles southeast of the
airport and about 200 feet east of 157th Avenue  at around
6:15 P.M.

The jetliner, reportedly was carrying 172 adult passengers,
five infants and eight crew members.
