Chapter 24, Section 3 “The Jazz Age” ENTERTAINMENT

Jump in Entertainment More leisure time for Americans as working hours shortened (8 hour days) and labor-saving appliances for homes became available 1929 Americans spent 4 billion on entertainment. 100% jump in ten years! How were they “entertaining” themselves?

Radio First commercial radio station was KDKA in Pittsburgh in 1920 which broadcast the presidential election result (Harding won) 1921 World Series broadcast nationwide By 1930 60% of families had a radio First shows included news, weather, sports, music, and political speeches Later broadcasts included dramas, soap operas, comedies, and children’s shows (just like the shows that eventually would be on TV)

Early Movies 1891 Thomas Edison files for a patent on his motion-picture projector In 1907 there were about 4,000 small “nickelodeon” cinemas with films accompanied by a pianist First blockbuster full-length movie was “Birth of a Nation” in 1915 (contained racism and depictions of the KKK after the Civil War)

Hollywood Became a boomtown in the 1910s and 1920s for the movie business The sleepy village outside of Los Angeles grew to be the largest film-producing location in the world Shops, restaurants, hotels, and neighborhoods grew to support the rich and famous residents and visitors to the town

Silent Movie Stars Comedy – Charlie Chaplin as “the Tramp” “America’s Sweetheart” – Mary Pickford “The King of Hollywood” – Douglas Fairbanks The three along with director D.W. Griffiths (“Birth of a Nation”) combined to create United Artists production company to make their own films

Movies in the 1920s Movies were silent until 1927 In “The Jazz Singer” in 1927 Al Jolson famously looks into the camera and thrills audiences by saying “You ain’t heard nothin’ yet.” 1910: 5,000 Theatres in US 1930: 22,500 Theaters in US 1929: 125 Million Americans, 80 million movie tickets sold a week!

Impact of Radio and Movies on 1920s Society They brought images and ideas to them that they would not get at home (could dream of doing different things with their lives) This created a national popular culture: They copied language from movies and radio (slang) They copied hairstyles and fashions from movies They became more informed in national and international news
