The Countryman and the Cinematograph
Robert W. Paul 1901 UK
A man of the country sees films projected for the first time.
A man of the country as in a man not educated in culture or art or the then-new phenomenon of the moving image. Very interesting, then, that he is emphatically distressed by, delighted with, moved and pleasured by the new phenomenon. Remade a year later as Uncle Joe at the Moving Picture Show.
