Random Facts About The 1920s

[@ruthm.6071]

Great topic! Yes, by all means keep the trivia and anecdotes coming. Here's a little known fact. In "Speedy" Harold Lloyd's last silent film there is a segment filmed on location at Coney Island. Harold's new suit keeps getting soiled. As he walks past a fun house mirror, Harold flips the bird at his distorted reflection.

Absolutely would love a part 2! Thank you for this .

“Reading a book for fun .” This makes you the interesting person your subscribers know and love .

[@opaljk4835]

Haha, I feel like that isn’t such a remarkable hobby

[@shawntaylor5468]

This was so fantastic. The Grand Ole Opry radio show debuted in November 28, 1925 and remains the longest running program, still broadcast. It’s origins are interesting. I could watch this all day.

[@glennso47]

The predecessor of the Grand Old Opry was the WLS National Barn dance from Chicago . George Haye was the organizer of both shows. He was at WLS for a few years and he then moved to Nashville and started the Grand Old Opry.

Grave yards are an equal opportunity piece of ground for both smoking men and smoking women.

The pledge of allegiance was made in its present form in 1955 when the phrase “under God” was added.

[@lorrainem8234]

The book and jockey incidents were the most interesting to me. Thanks for the video!

[@sugarplum5824]

I'm the one in my family who has a head full of useless but interesting facts rolling around upstairs. My family frequently asks me, "How do you know that?!?" so I completely understand your fascination with trivia. This video gives me more interesting information. I love the birds named Nip and Tuck 🤣 You often pique my interest enough for me to continue to delve further into subjects you cover for more information. You do a marvelous job. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@73dmonty]

Same here , *How do you know that !?! " & I often end up doing further research. Glad I'm not alone. 😁

[@earlt.7573]

Great stuff. My father was a kid during the 20s, and when I was a kid during the 60s - 70s, I loved hearing his stories about growing up during the era. Keep up the good work here on your channel, cheers !!!

[@davidcovington901]

Frank Hayes was seen to slump as Sweet Kiss crossed the finish line, or just after, depending on which June 1923 newspaper you choose. The one in this video says "after."

[@lisarakic9285]

Bradford, who killed himself to prove there was an afterlife, was the most interesting to me. I also had no idea Coolidge kept so many pets. And Bessie Smith running after some 'hoods' and scaring them off was also amusing. Believe it or not, I knew about the dead man who won the horse race. Poor guy. He was so dedicated.

[@patrickryan1515]

Your introduction describes a man after my own heart. I’m remarkably dull, rarely invited to parties held by interesting people, or even those less interesting.

[@CrystalHogan-c7y]

I love the fashion from that era especially the evening gowns and the wedding dresses they all had huge bouquet of flowers

[@raymondpeterson952]

the 1920s has always interested me and i love your channel, and have sub'd. thanks for your effort...

[@Biden2024_]

I became A huge fan of your channel during covid, when things opened up I stopped watching your vids but I’m back! Back when I was in high school my old teacher was born and raised in the 20’s he had so much knowledge about the time period I would come in during lunch and bug him for information

[@suzp2265]

Fascinating thank you! My favourite part was that on the promotion of smoking outdoors for women but it was all great. Love your channel.

[@mhunt7843]

I have only made it through the into so far, but I already know this will be another favorite. Ha, ha. Random facts with which to drive others crazy!!!

[@sheilaabrahams1322]

This was great. More videos, please!

[@Cookiepartyyy]

Brilliant channel. Bravo.

[@Mr.H-YT42]

Thanks so much for this video! I'm currently wrapping up work on a novel set in the 1920s that leans heavily on the Egyptomania in general and Tutankhamun specifically. Love to see a piece on "the curse"! Thanks for all the hard work.

[@CottonO]

What great fun! Do more, please.

[@theodorenovak3363]

Loved it all. Kerp, it coming this 1920s vintage lifestylers aka time warper loves your chanel

[@robertgrace8399]

always love your series, but would love to see your take on one of the most famous literary critics of the 1920s, HL Mencken. I find it odd that he has never been mentioned in your posts despite being famous for, among other things, the Hatrack case involving the publication of Hatrack, a short story by Gangs of New York author Herbert Asbury

[@Shelton1967]

I absolutely love your channel. Keep it up!❤

[@oliversmith9200]

Good to hear the coverage of Edward Bernays. His legacy and it's continuing influence deserves every civic minded citizen's critical examination, and, tells much of the origins of some of today's socio-economic dilemma.

[@davidpildner8261]

This was fantastic!! Well done!

[@nerdygoat2386]

I think that Calvin Coolidge's dog was named after the title character from the comic strip "The Adventures of Prudence Prim" by Nell Brinkley. It would be awesome if you made a video about Nell Brinkley!

[@quite1enough]

that cigarette thing isn't conspiracy at all, Adam Curtis explained that very well in "The century of the self"

[@JesusLopez-pg4wj]

[@jonwashburn7999]

The book one was the most surprising.

[@graphosxp]

Since most movies from that era are lost we will never truly know when the first toilet was shown in a film!😭

2:21 I want to point out that South Africa and Panama prohibited alcohol during covid-19

[@BoMwarriorVlog]

That last one was definitely interesting! 😯 ...sadly though, it's not easily identifiable as being in the 1920s. 🤷

[@lisascenic]

Prudence Prim!!!! Have you made a video about the 1920s illustrator Nell Brinkley, who drew Prudence Prim comics (among many, many others)?

[@VintageVera]

The guy who won the Belmont race even though he was dead was the tops for me.

[@philbooth4384]

[@frostypop934]

Go Bessie! Great fact.

[@glennso47]

Was Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie a sound movie before The Jazz Singer or vice versa?

[@Clearskysahead]

Frank Hayes incident was the most interesting to me.

[@3frenchhens818]

The prohibition against women smoking in public -- or at least a good try at that -- was still strong in the mid-1960s. We got a booklet of standards to follow when we pledged to join a sorority. It said that "ladies are never seen smoking outdoors." And we had lessons in the ladylike way to let a man light your cigarette. You looked down at the cigarette, never up at the man because that made you look like a goldfish. It had another rule that was straight out of prohibition: If you were drinking or anywhere alcohol was served you had to take your pin off. Just in case it was raided.

[@jahlaune]

Fascinating

[@canuckprogressive.3435]

I for one prefer videos like this where you read your own script. I get bored with the ones where you read an old article from the time, for some reason.

[@T._Matthew_Phillips]

@The 1920sChannel -- what is the THEME SONG you play at the beginning of the videos? :)

[@The1920sChannel]

"Sweet Mama" by Duke Ellington

[@T._Matthew_Phillips]

@@The1920sChannel Thank you!! LOVE your channel!!

[@zyzyking]

Aloha and great channel. I would like to know about inventions, maybe crazy inventions. Interesting that cigarettes were used to promote all sorts of ways of being that have shaped our society and now 100 years later we know how harmful they are. We live in epicurean and stoic times and the push pull of both distorts our existence because of those who seeming know better and have money. Maybe its because we are told what to like and do.

[@Oakhart76]

[@rjwh67220]

Random useless facts to bore other people at parties! You got that right, Brother! May I make a humble suggestion? Put a pause between the stories. Maybe even fade to black for a second or two. I was maybe a minute into the cigarette story before I realized that it wasn’t part of the prohibition segment.

[@cordiscoscorner]

Nice job...

[@Mrcodewarrior77006]

Hi, I think you got your facts a bit mixed up. Miriam 'Ma' Furguson was in fact Texas' first female governor. After her departure in 1935, Texas did not have another female governor until Ann Richards in 1991. The governor of Texas in 1967 was John B. Connally, who was with JFK in Dealey Plaza.

[@The1920sChannel]

I meant that there was not another female governor nationwide until 1967 (when Lurleen Wallace became the governor of Alabama). Sorry if that wasn't clear in the video.

[@wheelieblind]

@@The1920sChannel Maybe you can help me... I am looking for information about the 1950's in the UK but keep getting American stuff showing up for the most part.
