The cinema has learned a great deal from the theater about presentation. Gone are the
days when crowds were packed on wooden benches
in tumble-down buildings to gape the 【M1】______
antics of silent, jerking figures on the screen,
where some poor pianist made frantic efforts 【M2】______
to translate the dramas into music.
These days it is quite easier to find a cinema that 【M3】______
surpasses a theater in luxury. Even in small villages, cinemas are spacious, well-lit and well
ventilated places where one can sit for comfort.
The projectionist has been trained to give 【M4】______
the audience time to prepare themselves for the film they are to see. Talk drops to a whisper
and then fades out together. As soon ad the cinema is in darkness,
spotlights are focused on 【M5】______
the curtains which are drawn slowly apart,
often to the accompany of music, to reveal the 【M6】______
title of the film. Everything has carefully
contrived so that the spectator will never actually 【M7】______
see the naked screen which will remind him all too sharply that what he is about to see is
nothing merely shadows flickering on a white board.
However much the cinema tries to 【M8】______
simulate the conditions in a theater,
it never fully succeeds. Nothing can equal to the awe and 【M9】______
sense of hushed expectation which is felt by
a theater audience as the curtain is slowly risen. 【M10】______
【M1】

A.
However
