REMEMBER WHEN 1900-42 Gibson Girl Man Broadway New Deal

Remember When ; a Loving Look at Days Gone By -- 1900-1942 ; Text by Allen Churchill.

From the DJ: Just forty-two years, but what a time! Here are the highlights of America's coming of age-pleasing to recall, and bittersweet, too, because we can't go back again. In affectionate text and glowing pictures Remember When recaptures those bygone days...when the Gibson Girl and the Gibson Man spread style across the land, when doctors came to call in Model A's, when high society scandalized the masses and Broadway still had elegance, when movies cost 10 cents and Vernon Castle was king, when the boys marched home to a Dry America, when stunt fliers, big spenders, flappers, and philanthropists jostled in the headlines, when Pickfair was our Camelot, when the funnies were good for a laugh and songs were made for singing, when the plains turned to dust and Wall Street fell flat, when the New Deal dealt a comeback and time watched from the trylon and the perisphere as Man walked into the atomic age.
