Signature of the examiner_______________ EXAM CARD XXX I Reading ENTERTAINMENT FOR ALL The United States in its short history has contributed in remarkable variety to the entertainment of humankind. Black-face minstrels, glamorous motion picture stars, hard-riding cowboy heroes, glittering musical comedies, breathtaking circuses, and spectacular television shows — all are exuberant expressions of the innovative genius of American show business. The daytime radio serials, or soap operas (so called because they were often sponsored by soap companies), now adapted to television, were created here and, for better or worse, have captured an audience of millions. Popular entertainment was a latecomer to America because the piety and hardship of colonial days delayed its growth. A few wandering players could be seen among settlers during the Colonies' first century, and throughout the 1700s many Americans regarded playgoing as an indulgence in sinful worldliness. By the 1800s, however, the high spirits of a fast-growing Nation were finding a natural outlet in the theater. America has originated many distinctive variations of show business and has breathed new life into older forms as well. Since the 19th century, US entertainment merchants have excelled at razzle-dazzle. They made turn-of-the-century theater big business, mapped transcontinental vaudeville paths, transformed the movies from a peepshow novelty into a global industry, and, by creating national radio and television networks, brought much of the world into the American living room. Not only have these triumphs been accompanied by unprecedented commercial success, but since 1900 they have won international acclaim for American performers, playwrights, and film-makers.
