VII. Reading
The White House, the official home of the United States president, was not built in time for George
Washington to live in it. It was begun in 1792 and was ready for its first inhabitants, President and Mrs. John
Adams, who moved in on November 1, 1800. When the Adamses moved in, the White House was not yet
complete, and the Adamses suffered many inconveniences; for example, the main staircase was incomplete,
which hindered movement from floor to floor, and the future laundry yard was merely a pool of mud, so wet
laundry was hung in the unfinished East Room to dry. Thomas Jefferson, the third president, improved the
comfort of the White House in many respects and added new architectural features such as the terraces on the
east and west ends.
When the British forces burned the White House on August 24, 1814, President Madison was forced to
leave. All that remained after the fire was tile exterior walls; the interior was completely destroyed. It was not
until December of 1817 that the following president, James Monroe, was able to move into a rebuilt residence.
Since then, the White House has continued to be modified but has been continuously occupied by each
succeeding U.S. president.

Up to about 1915, movies were short and programmes were made up to 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 theatre could offer. Consequently, after World War I increasing
numbers of spectators deserted the theatre 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 theatre'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, theatre-going became a luxury which few could afford, especially as the depression deepened.
By the end of World War II, the American theatre had been reduced to about thirty theatres in New York
City and a small number of touring companies originated there.

A. World War I B. the fact that films were less expensive

B. theatre-going was no longer considered a luxury
C. professional theatrical performances were confined mainly to New York City
