内容説明

The 1920s was a decade of great economic prosperity, coming to be known as the Roaring Twenties. With greater incomes, people and families enjoyed leisure activities, listening to the new jazz music in clubs and on their phonographs at home. In the 1930s, prosperity yielded to the economic hardships of the Great Depression. Teens often sacrificed their educations to support their families. The movie theater emerged as an escape from the strains of daily living.
