Magnavox had developed a P.A. system in 1919 but it was something that
was very rarely used and required a roomful of batteries and tubes.

the ballroom crowd gathered around a radio with a horned loudspeaker on
its
top to listen to the Harding-Cox elections, supposedly coming from KDKA.
 
I don't think people were listening in 1920 to a speakered radio;
earphones
were the method of hearing that early time, right?!
