Thanks for sharing!

It seems logical to me for the entertainment industry and others to pursue teenagers after child-labor laws were passed. Thereafter, the teens had money from their parents AND more time on their hands.

Work in a hot factory all day. Then see if you feel like seeing a movie after your shift is over.
