In the 1910s, musical theater provided Americans with many of their most popular songs. Written by the denizens of Tin Pan Alley - a district associated with musicians, composers, and publishers of popular music - such music usually premiered on the stage. Later, traveling theater and vaudeville troupes spread the songs throughout the land. Sheridan's Orpheum, Gem and Lotus theaters had weekly programs where comedic skits and tumbling acts were interspersed with "the Newest Musical Selections." The musical forms that most impacted the 1910s and 20s - ragtime, blues and jazz - rose from the African-American community and are recognized as distinctly original American art forms. Originally played in saloons and bawdy houses, ragtime was a worldwide craze for years. Blues Music, much of it from the southern United States, was slower and more introspective. Both were immensely popular, but the music that accompanied the age of the Flapper and the Flaming Youth was jazz, Jazz, JAZZ! Source: http://www.trailend.org/dow-jazzage.htm

∙ 9y agoYou'll have to a more specific. "Entertainment" encompasses film, TV, music, sports, books, art, theater & then all the subcategories of those. Your question cannot be answered in the way you phrased it. But entertainment in general came around probably when cavemen, or whatever the first people were, came around.
ANSWER:The above answer is incorrect. You can look at the history of entertainment and while it encompasses a wide field, a simple definition of entertainment can start you off. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, entertainment the action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment. Entertainment therefore can be traced as far back as when our ancestors were living in caves. We have a great deal of evidence of storytelling (which is a form of entertainment) through paintings on the walls of the caves. From there all you need to do is look at verbal storytelling - which also goes as far back as language and well before the written word. Once words were written, these stories were then able to be read aloud, performed as plays or read to oneself. These are the beginnings of reading for fun or enlightenment and going to plays. This is all just a small sample of the history of entertainment. I hope others pick it up from here and continue on.Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIf by past you mean middle ages, the typical forms of entertainment included music, troubadour shows, social gatherings, and feast days. Times before that typically followed the same rules. Only recently has entertainment entered the forefront of every person's mind, with entertainment becoming the largest industry in the world.
