    The Lumière brothers invented cinema in 1895 in Paris, France. Early films were short, only a few minutes long, and depicted local scenes, activities from foreign lands, and short comedies, often accompanied by piano music. Color was first added through hand-coloring, tinting, and stenciling, and was used mainly for documentary films. Early attempts to add sound used phonographic cylinders or discs, though the sound was later directly printed onto the film itself. Famous actors included Charlie Chaplin, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, and James Dean.
