Abstract

In 1926, the new, luxurious movie theatres at Rio de Janeiro’s Cinelândia, owned

by Francisco Serrador, import a new attraction from United States: prologues performed on

stage, before film screenings. The film magazines Selecta and Cinearte fought against prologues,

which represented a peculiar intersection between cinema and theatre, making use of elements

and strategies that will be found in film comedies and “chanchadas” produced from the 1930’s

on.
