Seeds of my addiction!

I saw some of those Lumiere Brothers movies in film school.  |

My great-grandfather was the first person to be thrown out of the cinema during the first showing of those films!
I understand it was for talking during the film. He was reported to have said such things as
"Ooo girl don't go in there: he gonna kill you!",
"He behind da door!" and
"Don't go up them stairs! Don't go up them stairs, now!"
Of course, he demanded a return of the admission price (though, I understand, he had initially sneaked into the show).  |
