In the 1930s, big bands and swing music were popular, with Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller popular bandleaders. In the 1940s, the bands started to break up, and band singers like Frank Sinatra and Sarah Vaughan went out on their own. War songs became popular.

Tickets on average cost under a quarter for the whole of the 1930s, down from 35 cents in 1929, so spending time in the cinema was an affordable form of escapism for many.
The era's films were revolutionary, too: Those were the years in which the film industry fully transitioned from “silent films” to “talkies.” Hollywood began investing in new soundstages and movie concepts that could make the most of new sound technology, and this ushered in big-budget musicals with original songs like 42nd Street (1933) and The Wizard of Oz (1939). It was also the decade when Walt Disney released the first-ever full-length animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).

Soap Box Derbys started in the 1930s as a competition for kids that didn’t require a lot of money. In 1933, a journalist named Myron Scott noticed some kids in Dayton, Ohio, were racing in soap box cars they’d made themselves. He took some pictures of them and started helping them organize bigger races. By the end of the summer that year, these races were drawing up to 40,000 spectators.

Today people can watch movies from the bedrooms, on flat screen TVs or even their phones. There are several video and entertainment watching platforms that we can download and watch at anytime on our phones or laptops.

Today we also have modernized music and movies, that we can watch/listen at anytime on our phones.

Murljashka [212]

The reason why the indulgences paid to the Catholic Church sparked the Protestant Reformation was that many religious scholars felt that indulgences went against the Words of the Bible.

<h3>How did indulgences lead to the Protestant Reformation?</h3>

Indulgences annoyed several Christian scholars such as Martin Luther who argued that paying for sins to be forgiven was against the word of the Gospel.

As a result, new denominations in Christianity broke out and this led to the period known as the Protestant Reformation.
