Youth in the
Roaring Twenties
The decade known as the Roaring Twenties was a celebration of
youth and its culture. Crazy and frenetic dances, silly songs, and
radically new styles of clothing captured the public’s fancy.
During this period of relative prosperity, many people ques-
tioned the values of the past and were willing to experiment
with new values and behavior as well as with new fashions. This
was an especially liberating period for women, who received the
right to vote in 1920. Many women also opted for a liberating
change of fashion—short skirts and short hair—as well as the
freedom to smoke and drink in public.

FLAGPOLE SITTING
One of the more bizarre fads of the 1920s
began in 1924 as a publicity stunt to attract
viewers to movie theaters. The most famous
flagpole sitter was “Shipwreck” Kelly
(right, waving from high above a
movie theater in Union City,
New Jersey). In 1929, for a total
of 145 days, Kelly took up residence
atop various flagpoles throughout
the country. Imitators, of course,
followed. At one point that year,
Baltimore had at least 17 boys and
3 girls sitting atop 18-foot hickory
poles, with their friends and families
cheering them on.
BESSIE SMITH
Bessie Smith was
“Empress of the
Blues.” In 1923,
she sold a million
recordings of
“Down Hearted
Blues.”

DANCE FADS
The Charleston was the
dance craze of the 1920s.
An energetic dance that
involved wild, flailing move-
ments of the arms and legs,
it demanded an appropriate
costume for the woman
dancer—a short, straight
dress without a waistline.
Another craze was the
dance marathon, a contest
in which couples would
dance continuously for
days—taking a 15-minute
break every hour—with each
alternately holding up the
other as he or she slept.
Needless to say, dancers
dropped from exhaustion.
GENTLEMEN’S FASHIONS
Gentlemen enjoyed some outrageous fashions of their own.
This young man, with the aid of two flappers, displays the
latest fashion in trousers, sometimes called Oxford bags.
He also sports “patent-leather hair,” parted on the side or
in the middle and slicked down close to the head.

BOBBED HAIR
In keeping with the liberating
influence of their new clothing,
women bobbed their hair—that
is, they had it cut much short-
er—freeing themselves of the
long tresses that had been
fashionable for years. The
woman shown is having her
hair cut at a barber shop.
