The years between 1870 and 1895 brought enormous changes to the theater in the United States as the resident company was undermined by touring groups, as New York became the only major center of production, and as the long run superseded the repertory (准备表演的戏剧、节 目等) system. By 1870, the resident stock company was at the peak of its development in the United States. The 50 permanent companies of 1870, however, had dwindled to 20 by 1878, to 8 by 1880, to 4 by 1887, and had almost disappeared by 1900.
While the causes of this change were numerous, probably the most important one was the rise of the "combination" company (that is, one that travels with star and full company). Sending out a complete production was merely a logical extension of touring by stars. By the 1840’s, many major actors were already taking along a small group of lesser players, for they could not be sure that local companies could supply adequate support in secondary roles.
There is much disagreement about the origin of the combination company. Boucicault claims to have initiated it around 1860 when he sent out a troupe with Colleen Bawn, but a book published in 1859 speaks of combination companies has already established. Joseph Jefferson M also declared that he was a pioneer in the movement. In actuality, the practice probably began tentatively during the 1850’s, only to be interrupted by the Civil War. It mushroomed in the 1870’s, as the rapid expansion of the railway system made it increasingly feasible to transport full productions, in 1872, Lawrence Barrett took his company, but no scenery, on tour; in 1876, Rose Mi-chei was sent out with full company, scenery, and properties. By the season of 1876—1877 there were nearly 100 combination companies on the road, and by 1886 there were 282. [br] What is the best title for the passage?
选项
A、The Development of the Combination Company.
B、Boucicault’s Contribution to the Theater.
C、How the Repertory System Affected Dramatic Productions.
D、The Importance of the Theater in the United States.
答案
A
解析
本题是一道关于文章题目的主旨题,应从文章的中心思想和内容结构进行分析。文中第一段讲述了美国剧团在1870年至1895年间发生的巨大变化,即固定剧团的衰落和流动剧团的兴起;第二段对这种变化的原因进行了分析,即是由于“混合剧团”的出现及发展造成的;第三段讲述了对混合剧团起源时间的争论及其繁荣情况。由此我们可以看出,本文主要讲述的就是混合剧团在美国的兴起与繁荣。故选项A符合文章的中心思想。
