Television did not exist in 1915

Television as we know it did not exist in 1915. Home entertainment in this period came from newspapers, books, gramophone records, live theatre and music hall, and — later in the era — cinema and radio. Television was still laboratory work: regular experimental broadcasts began in the late 1920s, a public service followed in the 1930s, and television only reached ordinary homes in large numbers after the Second World War.
