decade in which fashion entered the modern era. It was the decade in which <a href="/wiki/Women%27s_Suffrage_and_Western_Women%27s_Fashion_through_the_early_1900s" class="mw-redirect" title="Women's Suffrage and Western Women's Fashion through the early 1900s">women first abandoned the more restricting fashions</a> of past years and began to wear more comfortable clothes (such as short skirts or trousers). Men also abandoned highly formal daily attire and even began to wear athletic clothing for the first time. The suits men wear today are still based, for the most part, on those worn in the late 1920s. The 1920s are characterized by two distinct periods of fashion. In the early part of the decade, change was slow, as many were reluctant to adopt new styles. From 1925, the public passionately embraced the styles associated with the Roaring Twenties. These styles continued to characterize fashion until the worldwide depression worsened in 1931. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Music">Music</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1920s&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Music"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Jazzing_orchestra_1921.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Jazzing_orchestra_1921.png/245px-Jazzing_orchestra_1921.png" decoding="async" width="245" height="166" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Jazzing_orchestra_1921.png/368px-Jazzing_orchestra_1921.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Jazzing_orchestra_1921.png/490px-Jazzing_orchestra_1921.png 2x" data-file-width="780" data-file-height="529" /></a><figcaption>The period from the end of the First World War until the start of the Depression in 1929 is known as the "<a href="/wiki/Jazz_Age" title="Jazz Age">Jazz Age</a>".</figcaption></figure> <ul><li>The "<a href="/wiki/Jazz_Age" title="Jazz Age">Jazz Age</a>" – <a href="/wiki/Jazz" title="Jazz">jazz</a> and jazz-influenced dance music became widely popular throughout the decade.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/George_Gershwin" title="George Gershwin">George Gershwin</a> wrote <i><a href="/wiki/Rhapsody_in_Blue" title="Rhapsody in Blue">Rhapsody in Blue</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/An_American_in_Paris" title="An American in Paris">An American in Paris</a></i>.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Eddie_Lang" title="Eddie Lang">Eddie Lang</a> and <a href="/wiki/Joe_Venuti" title="Joe Venuti">Joe Venuti</a> were the first musicians to incorporate the <a href="/wiki/Jazz_guitar" title="Jazz guitar">guitar</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jazz_violin" title="Jazz violin">violin</a> into jazz.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Radio">Radio</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1920s&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Radio"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Radio_in_1920s_elections" title="Radio in 1920s elections">Radio in 1920s elections</a></div> <ul><li>First commercial radio stations in the U.S., 8MK (WWJ) in <a href="/wiki/Detroit" title="Detroit">Detroit</a> and (<a href="/wiki/KDKA_(AM)" title="KDKA (AM)">KDKA 1020 AM</a>) in <a href="/wiki/Pittsburgh" title="Pittsburgh">Pittsburgh</a>, Pennsylvania, go on the air on August 27, 1920.</li> <li>Both stations broadcast the election results between Harding and Cox in early November.

"D.W. Griffith's <i>Way Down East</i> (1920) was projected to return rentals of $4,000,000 on an $800,000 negative. This figure was based on the amounts earned from its roadshow run, coupled with its playoff in the rest of the country's theaters. Griffith had originally placed the potential film rental at $3,000,000 but, because of the success of the various roadshows that were running the $4,000,000 total was expected. The film showed a profit of $615,736 after just 23 weeks of release on a gross of $2,179,613."</li> <li><i>What Price Glory?</i>: p. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=zospQ7o5u0oC&q=What%20Price%20Glory%20hit%20the%20jackpot%20with%20massive%20world%20rentals%20of%20%242%2C429%2C000%2C%20the%20highest%20figure%20in%20the%20history%20of%20the%20company.%20Since%20it%20was%20also%20the%20most%20expensive%20production%20of%20the%20year%20at%20%24817%2C000%20the%20profit%20was%20still%20a%20healthy%20%24796%2C000&pg=PA122">112</a>. "What Price Glory hit the jackpot with massive world rentals of $2,429,000, the highest figure in the history of the company. Since it was also the most expensive production of the year at $817,000 the profit was still a healthy $796,000..."</li> <li><i>Cavalcade</i>: p. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=zospQ7o5u0oC&pg=PA170">170</a>. "The actual cost of <i>Cavalcade</i> was $1,116,000 and it was most definitely not guaranteed a success. In fact, if its foreign grosses followed the usual 40 percent of domestic returns, the film would have lost money. In a turnaround, the foreign gross was almost double the $1,000,000 domestic take to reach total world rentals of $3,000,000 and Fox's largest profit of the year at $664,000."</li> <li><i>State Fair</i>: p. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=zospQ7o5u0oC&pg=PA170">170</a>. "<i>State Fair</i> did turn out to be a substantial hit with the help of Janet Gaynor boosting Will Rogers back to the level of money-making star. Its prestige engagements helped raked in a total $1,208,000 in domestic rentals. Surprisingly, in foreign countries unfamiliar with state fairs, it still earned a respectable $429,000. With its total rentals, the film ended up showing a $398,000 profit."</li></ul> </span></li> <li id="cite_note-19"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-19">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="#CITEREFHallNeale2010">Hall & Neale 2010</a>, p. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=Ro0hASPfC68C&pg=PA53">53</a>.
