What did people do for entertainment in 1911?

Answer 1

They probably danced and listened to music, played Board Games and cards, which some people, in lieu of the Xbox and Playstation, still do today.

Not "probably": many did indeed dance or listen to music; and many played or sang too. It was still socially advantageous to be able to play a musical instrument, usually the piano, or sing reasonably well, to help dinner-parties and the like go well.

Many people play board games today - electronic games are not a substitute because most are purely solitary activities whereas board games and most card games are for at least 2 players so are more sociable.

Outside the home, the theatres, concert-halls and music-halls were very popular (& of course, the first two still are, though the music-hall style shows were fading away by then).

There were also sports to watch or play; or more homely games like tennis and croquet (if you could afford the house with large enough garden).

For a quieter time, public town gardens offered the chance for a pleasant stroll in the sunshine, meeting friends by chance, perhaps listening to a brass band. (1916 - I imagine many town bands were by then heavily depleted by members having gone to the War, from which many would never return.)

By 1916 the seaside resorts were well established, in the UK at least, catering for large influxes of visitors during the Summer's one-week fixed holidays in industrial cities. The demand was so great that the railway companies had to run extra trains.

So they didn't "probably" just have music and dancing: their choices were not as wide as ours are now, but they still thoroughly enjoyed the entertainments and pursuits that were available, and which fostered their social lives.

Answer 2

In 1927, the first talking movie came out. So before that, it was stage plays and vaudeville. But, besides that, people talked, and socialized. They fished and hunted, and walked, just like we do now. times were simpler then. They didn't know what they were missing, because tv and movie entertainment wasn't invented.
