since
1901
,

in

endowed

contribution
to mankind.

Passage 2:
Up to
about
1915,
movies
were
short
and
programs
were
made up
of several
works. The,
D.W.
Griffith

and
others began
to make
longer
films which
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
1
920's
as a
result of
two
new
elements.
In 1927 sound
was added
to
the
previously
silent films,
and thus one
of
the
theaters'
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 costs to see aplay,
theatergoing became
a luxury
which
few could
afford,
especially as the depression
deepened. By the
end
of
World
War
II,

itself
