READING: Read and choose the correct answer
Up to about 1915, movies were short and programs were made up of several works. Then,
D. W. Griffith and others began to make longer films that provided the same powerful emotional
appeal, as did melodrama and presented spectacles far beyond what the theater could offer.
Consequently, after World War I increasing numbers of spectators deserted the theater for the

movies. This trend was accelerated in the late 1920s as a result: of two new elements. In 1927
sound was added to the previously silent film, and thus one of the theater's principal claims to
superiority vanished. In 1929 a serious economic depression began. Since audiences could go to
the movies for a fraction of what it cost to see a play, theater going became a luxury that few could
afford, especially as the depression deepened.
By the end of World War II, the American theater had been reduced to about thirty theaters
in New York City and a small umber of touring, companies originating there.
7. One thing that movies could do better than the theater was to
a. provide longer programs. b. provide emotional appeal.
c. provide more melodrama. d. provide greater spectacle.
8.

a. they were too short. b. they were silent.
c. they were too expensive. d. they did not tell a complete
9. One thing that made people choose the movies over the theater was
a. World War I.
b. the fact that films were less expo
c. the fact that films were silent.
d. the fact that films were shorter.
10. By the end of the World War II,
a. theater had become entertainment for the masses.
b
.
. the theater was no longer considered a luxury.
c. professional theatrical performances were confined mainly to New York
d. There were no theatrical performances outside of New York City.
11. When the author of this paragraph says 'this trend was accelerated in late 1920s% he means
that
a. many more people went to the theater than to the movies.

b. the shift away from the movies to the theater was slowed down.
