Movies
At this time movies were a big hit. Unlike writing movies were just stating to be big. people loved to go to the theaters to have some fun for a while before being brought back to reality. It was a way to escape the bad times. "The Moving Picture" was a big part in documenting and learning , although there was no noise it was still great to enjoy.
