Mr Soames was so surprised by her confident (充满自信的) manner that he forgot to ask his usual questions. He asked her what kind of cigarettes she wanted. The girl replied quickly and handed him the money. While he was giving her the cigarettes, Mr Soames said laughingly that she was so young and she should hide the packet in her pocket so as not to be found by a policeman. But the little girl did not seem to find this very funny. Without even smiling she took the packet and walked towards the door. Suddenly she stopped, turned round, and looked steadily at Mr Soames.

This proved as unpopular as talking films had done in the late 1920s. It was not until 1938 that a full-length color film was made, and the success of this film made producers everywhere change from black and white to color. This first full-length color film was translated into ten different languages and made Hollywood the main center of film industry。 In the early days of the cinema, other countries also had film industries. Very good films were made in Sweden, Britain, Russia and France. However, because Hollywood had so much money to spend, it kept its position as the worlds most important film center. Film actors went to America because they knew they could get a lot of money for every film they made. In 1918 Charlie Chaplin received $5 each day. However, life was not always easy for the film actors. Newspapermen followed them everywhere, and after Charlie Chaplin married for the fourth time he became so unpopular with the American public that he had to leave the country and live in Europe. 29.
