The theatre part made me think it would be really cool to see a video about construction of such lavish places back then in the 20s. Great stuff man! Thanks for making and sharing your videos
This American dream charm of taking photos of fast and luxury cars (I love them), design clothes and big houses came from the 1920s. The world seems to have become more stylish and charming since. then.
If I was born in 1887 instead of 1987 I would have probably been an officer in the first world War and then probably a business man of some kind. Assuming that I survived of course... Instead, now I am an engineer who feels he has an old soul and struggles to feel relevant in the 21st century.
Cool, you mentioned two cars made in my hometown of Kokomo, Indiana. By the 20s the Elwood Haynes Automobile Company had merged with the Apperson Brothers to become the Hanes Apperson Automobile Company. I grew up in one of the company built cottage style bungalows two blocks from the factory building which still faintly had the name of the company on it and stood until around 1986.
2:20 Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle's Pierce Arrow was built in Buffalo, NY. Today, there is a Pierce Arrow museum and it is very worth while to visit. I was also very impressed with Buffalo's water front and their naval and servicemen's museum, which has a cruiser, a destroyer (U.S.S. The Sullivans), a sub, and a lot of other displays. Although I live in NYC, I have to say their waterfront is nicer than ours, albeit a lot smaller. In 1918, Pierce Arrow introduced a six cylinder engine with four valves and three spark plugs per cylinder! They were quite advanced and extremely luxurious.
Love your channel, Its obvious you aren't just putting these up for the likes & subscriptions only. I especially love how you know everyones name in the photos, oh wait, you're reading photo play! hahahahaha I get it now! Ive read all the biographies of the movies stars in Hollywood ( that I could find) & then watched all the movies I could find on them, love love love this video xoxo Have you ever thought about featuring Robert Henri? He wrote one of my favorite books "The Art Spirit" released in 1923
This is one time I wish for color photography. To see the cars in their true colors would be great. I would never guess royal blue, biscuit yellow or fiery red.
Sorry to comment again but I just have ask, especially people who share the same love of old I do…has anyone learned any tricks to keep yourself in the mind frame of “old timey” America? I can’t explain the amazing cozy feeling I get when I watch old movies and watch stuff like what The20sChannel does. It’s like a hyper-nostalgia even though I never experienced the 20s-30s. I got into old stuff because I’m a 39 yo PSW that works with elderly people and I initially dreaded watching the old movies etc but now they’re my favourite entertainment things in life lol. Sorry for rambling but I thought it was worth the embarrassment if I could find any good advice for keeping in that happy go lucky type of vibe all the time if that makes sense
Personally, I think old-time radio shows from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s are a great way to immerse yourself in the past. And the best part is that you can download thousands of them for free online without copyright issues! You can just keep them playing all day.
@@The1920sChannel very cool insight! Thanks. I’m always hoping TCM or other channels play older movies but you’re right, I should just download a bunch and have them playing all the time.

Love your channel! Binged watched your channel already. You are a preserver of history.... Rare history and culture at most.

Jackie's parents spent all his money. Leading to the Coogan Law to protect kids money.
Could you do some random science articles from then?

$25,000 in 1921 is equivalent to $370,000 today... that's an expensive car!
The name Brougham is *NOT* pronounced as "Brogam" It is pronounced "Bro-Ham" as the 'g' is silent.
