【 摘 要 】

Since the late nineteenth century, new forms of entertainment have become popular in cities. New entertainments (such as cinema), which were conceived for the population of urban centers, assumed a different form of participation, where the spectator's place was emphasized. Agains this background, order and discipline became a priority for the elites, which were afraid to lose old privileges resulting from different ways of life and cultures. This paper aims to analyze: the influence of cinema in social life in the city of Recife (Pernambuco, Brazil) in the 1920s; the impact and transformations it caused; the practices and behaviors of Recife’s inhabitants in cinemas and the methods used by the authorities to control this new entertainment.
