Question

Why did movie theaters become an important source of entertainment during the Depression?

Answer 1

The second alternative is correct (B).

During the Great Depression the film industry became the great highlight of the arts.

The 1930s and 1940s were considered the Golden Age of Cinema. The technologies developed at the time made the films more realistic and cinema was replacing the Theater in the position of main source of entertainment.
