III. Read the following passage, then choose the
correct answer to questions.
Up to about 1915, movies were short and
programs were made up of several works. Then,
D. W. Griffith and others began making 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 1920's 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 which few could afford, especially as the
depression deepened.
By the end of Word War II, the American theater
had been reduced to about thirty theaters in New
York City and a small number of touring companies
originating there.

A. they were too short B. they were too

over the theater was
