		+	The theatre continued to dominate the world of entertainment in Greece with [[Marika Kotopouli]] and [[Cybele Adrianou]] continuing to dominate the world of theatre.
		+
		+	The cinema, however, is starting to make its presence felt with the first grand commercial success in [[1920]] - "Villar in the women's baths of Faliro" (Ο Βιλλάρ στα γυναικεία λουτρά του Φαλήρου), written, directed and starred by the comedian Villar (Nikolaos Sfakianakis). 1927 was the end of the 'primitive' Greek cinema and the beginning of a serious organisation.
		+
		+	During 1928- 1931 the company Dag-Film saw its more productive days. Its main concern were historical movies, usually adaptions of novels. Most distinct are "Δάφνις και Χλόη" (1931 directed by Orestes Laskos) and "Έρως και κύματα" (1928 directed by D. Gaziadis). Dafnis and Chloe contained the first nude scene in the story of European cinema.

[[Macedonia]], which had a great ethnic admixture in the [[1910s]] became solidly Greek. The Bulgarian-speaking Greeks of that region had to revert to [[Greek language\|Greek]] under the influence of their new neighbours. Further south, in [[Attica]], entire suburbs were built to house the refugees. [[Crete]], which had had a population that was nearly 1/3 Turkish, became solidly Greek. New villages were built carrying the names of the cities of Asia Minor that were abandoned by their former inhabitants: [[Nea Kios]], [[Nea Artaki]], [[Nea Alikarnassos]], [[Nea Moudania]], [[Nea Nikomedia]], etc.

 On the other hand, many sports clubs came into being during the 1920s including [[Olympiakos FC|Olympiakos]], [[AEK FC|AEK]] and [[PAOK FC|PAOK]].

 The "roaring" 20s did not roar so much in Greece largely through the efforts of dictator [[Theodoros Pangalos]] who, through legislation, assured that women wore their skirts long. Policemen were equipped with measuring tape to make sure these laws were adhered to.
