Random Facts About The 1920s (Part 3)

When it comes to organ theater music, you can still hear Dennis Scott play organ for silent films at least once a month at the Music Box Theater in Chicago, and once a year in October he travels to Muskegon, Michigan to play organ for Buster Keaton silent films at the annual convention of the International Buster Keaton Society (The Damfinos).

Thanks for sharing 1920s historical knowledge to us. This was a pivotal era, the first in different aspects.

[@HDCTimes-720]

The 1920s truly was a transformative decade! The Jazz Age brought in such a vibrant cultural shift, especially in music and fashion. It’s amazing how much influence the Roaring Twenties still has on our society today!

[@binkydonna]

The 20's were more radical than the 60's. The 20's took us from Victorian/Edwardian straight into Art Deco.

[@HDCTimes-720]

@@binkydonna Definitely! The 1920s shattered conventions in a way that the 1960s built upon but didn't originate. The sudden embrace of modernism, both in design and culture, was truly radical,leaving behind Victorian restraint for the glitz, glamour, and geometric elegance of Art Deco was a cultural leap!

Eugene Debs was a great man who was imprisoned for his political beliefs. The 1920s were not tolerant of opposing political views.

[@orbyfan]

He was sentenced to 10 years in prison in September 1918, and President Woodrow Wilson refused to pardon or release him. Mr. Debs received 914,191 votes for President in 1920, and his sentence was commuted by President Warren G. Harding on December 23, 1921, who thought Mr. Debs should be home with his family for Christmas. On his way home to Terre Haute, Mr. Debs was received at the White House by President Harding.

[@carijanice6949]

Wilson was an intolerant, racist SOB. Harding, on the other hand, was an easy-going, tolerant man. Why haven’t we made progress for over 100 years?

[@anncorsaro224]

In reference to your last sentence: Do you think it’s different 100 years later?

[@carijanice6949]

@@anncorsaro224 In some ways, certainly! But there has recently been and will soon be an intolerant racist in the White House.

[@HDCTimes-720]

Eugene Debs was a true hero who stood up for what he believed in despite being persecuted by the government. His imprisonment for speaking out against war and social injustice was a clear manifestation of the repression of the 1920s. It was a testament to the lack of respect for freedom of speech and different ideas.

9:57 I spy, a youngish British actor, Gordon Harker who worked for Hitchcock on 4 of his films. The Ring (1927) - cast: Jack's Trainer The Farmer's Wife (1928) - cast: Churdles Ash: his Handyman Champagne (1928) - cast: The Father Elstree Calling (1930) - cast I'm lucky to have them all. I must have close to 500 silent films dating all the way back to the 19th century from various countries. I'm a great fan of the Weimar Republic in Germany till 1933, which gave birth to 'Expressionism'. Denmark and Sweden were also involved in the new art form. Some people today just don't realise how mesmerising silent film can be. Conrad Veidt is a favourite, as are the utterly debauched pair of Anita Berber and Valeska Gert!! Just google Valeska. She was one wild woman! Alas, those 3 famous actors are long forgotten, frozen in time in sepia tones on volatile nitrate. Many are now considered lost. London After Midnight (1927) is the Holy Grail. Jeanne Eagels is another favourite, but some of her films are now lost too. We do have her 2nd last Talkie film, 'The Letter' (1929). She was in the running for best actress Oscar at the very first Academy Awards. She died before the film's release, and it was the first time an actor had been 'nominated' posthumously. I think that rather dull/comatose Norma Shearer won, but the critics gave it to Eagels. The last 5 minutes, you can see her slowly unravelling on a path to destruction and oblivion. I was speechless the first time I watched her. Her last talkie, Jealousy (also 1929) is now considered lost. She was robbed of that Oscar. In the remake with Bette Davis, she had to pay for her crime thanks to the Hayes code. But not for Jeanne, her character got away with it but at an enormous personal cost, much worse than any prison.
