Прочитайте и переведите текст на русский язык. Cinemas in London London is full of cinemas and cinema clubs, some of them showing a large number of continental films. Cinema-going is a regular habit for a considerable number of people in London; the number of cinema-goers is much larger than that of theatre-goers. Unfortunately, the cinema in Britain is looked upon as rather an entertainment than «the arts». As a result, comparatively few films of international standard of quality are shot in Britain, and if they are, they are often a commercial failure. If you want to know which films are on, there are many publications to help you. Any daily newspaper will have a short list of films and shows; some newspapers on sale in the middle of the day give the full list of films supplied with the hour when they begin. Some cinemas show films in the afternoon, early evening and late evening; others have continuous programmes from about two o’clock in the afternoon till late at night. In case you want to watch a film which is a hit of the season, with a popular actor or actress starring, and can’t get to the cinema early enough to get tickets, you can buy them in advance in most large stores and hotels.
