Answer 1

Wow! That period in US history was known as the Roaring Twenties. It was a time of jazz, flappers, dances like the Charleston and the Lindy Hop. It was also a time of silent movies (in black and white) of radio sets that were little more than crystal sets, of gramaphone records and wind-up victrolas.
Vaudeville was popular and at home, people viewed scenic wonders through a stereopticon (it was a viewing device that used two slides and gave the impression of three dimensional viewing). People played parlour games -- charades were popular, and bridge and whist were popular games as well.
Life was much simpler in those days.
