What reading level is The New Movement in the Theatre book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the fall of the curtain they have sat silent for a moment in that peculiarly satisfying mood of serious spiritual contemplation which is felt elsewhere only after an inspiring service in the church. To the lover of the theatre it seems curious, and certainly very pitiable, that these artist- architects so seldom have struck this note of repose, and of detachment from the vulgarities of life, in the designing of theatre buildings.
One who cares for the art of the theatre gains from a rapid su...rvey of the "best" American play- houses the inescapable impression that the architects have considered the theatre a dumping-ground for every form and every ornament that was too gaudy or too meaningless for other buildings. The indict- ment may be summed up in two general propositions : first, that they have servilely copied a general form 207 2o8 THE NEW MOVEMENT and a traditional style of playhouse — more particu- larly that most ornate of buildings, the Paris Opera House; and second, that In the decoration of facade and Interior they have allowed their fancies to run riot, giving free play to every wild Impulse to add extravagant ornament, and to cover every Inch of surface with tinsel and gilt.
