Kunz examines the emergence of the modern secular influences (or 'flapper culture') of the 1920s, in relation to Provo, Utah, and concludes that these influences were as prevalent there as anywhere. He cites evidence of prohibition violations, immoral dancing, and a variety of other behaviors commonly associated with the Jazz Age. All of these things were common in Provo, along with economic boosterism, talking motion pictures ('talkies'), and well-attended sporting events.
