GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
Flappers were a subculture of young Western women in the 1920s who wore short skirts (knee height was considered short during that period), bobbed their hair, listened to jazz, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behavior.

101 Years Ago
The September 14, 1922 Colorado Transcript announced that the Golden Gem theatre was hosting a Flapper Night, with a special program produced by Paramount Studio.
I’m not quite sure they knew what the term “flapper” meant:
Flappers to the right of ’em, flappers to the left of ’em, flappers behind and flappers in front of’ em, flapping and flapping! Oh what an array they’ll make, Golden’s flappers one hundred!
And they’ll all be on parade Friday night at the Gem theatre! Paramount fun festival and flapper show promises to bring out the largest crowd that has attended a theatre performance in Golden in years.
The plan was to encourage Golden women to attend by offering prizes to every woman who entered their contest.
Golden’s Paramount Girl – Silk Lingerie
Golden’s best all-around flapper – A silk parasol
Golden’s niftiest flapper – silk hosiery
Golden’s prize blonde – A bathing suit
Golden’s tallest flapper – A tennis racquet
Golden’s fattest flapper – A 2 pound box of candy
The consolation prize was an autographed photo of a Paramount star.
They also had prizes for married couples and men, including “Oldest married couple,” “Golden’s baldest man,” and “Golden’s biggest footed man.”
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
