ghidorah5464: What forms of entertainment were available in the 1920s and how much did they cost?
I know radios and films were being created in the 1920s during the economic expansion and depression. Can anyone tell me how much they cost in both those times and if there were any other forms of entertainment available?

I’m afraid I don’t know about the cost of radio and film, but in the 20s most people went to the cinema at least once a week, so I would guess that it probably wasn’t that expensive. They generally had different priced seats in different parts of the movie theatre, you would pay less if you sat close to the front for instance.

People would go out dancing, at dance halls and clubs, jazz music was very popular in the 20s, and the dances that were popular included the Charleston, the foxtrot and the Black Bottom. Going to the theatre was popular, and vaudeville (where a a variety of different acts would perform, singers, dancers, comedians, conjurors, acrobats etc), circuses. Sport was popular of course, both for watching and for participating. Golf, tennis, and swimming were all sports that were very fashionable in the 20s, and people would flock to football and baseball matches just like they do nowadays. One entertainment form that became very popular in the 20s were flying circuses, where pilots would give flying exhibitions, with all sorts of amazing stunts, like girls dancing the Charleston on the wings of aeroplanes etc. And they would give rides to people, flying was an exciting novelty in those days, so people were willing to pay to be taken up in a plane.
