JAZZ
Advertisements for jazz concerts:

Now that's what's called loving your work!
Early jazz band.
Improvising.
In early jazz you played what you wanted when you wanted
Jazz flourished in gangster run nightclubs,
because gangsters were the only ones who would hire black musicians
and the only ones serving alcohol.
New dances came with jazz.
FASHION
Dresses were looser and shorter.
Cloche hats were popular.
MOVIES
Greta Garbo in her first starring role in 1924.
The first full-length talking movie was "The Jazz Singer" in 1927.
"The Jazz Singer" opens in Times Square, NYC.
AL CAPONE
Born in New York where he joined a gang and murdered some people.
He was never tried because of lack of evidence.
He went to Chicago in 1919 and lived here:
He became the head of Chicago's organized crime by 1925
and arranged many murders of rival gang members.
He was finally arrested and convicted on tax charges.
INKLINGS
In the 1920s, J.R.R. Tolkein had three children and met C.S. Lewis.
The Hobbit hadn't been written yet and no, Faramir hadn't been created.
Faramir, as he appears in The Lord of the Rings movies
This has absolutely nothing to do with the 1920s or American history.
