During the Depression of the 1930s, that meant listening to the radio and playing parlor and board games, sometimes in lieu of a glamorous night on the town.
Would anyone please kindly analyse the clause elements? and which of it is the subject?

Thank you.
Subject: that (Refers to something in the previous sentence.)
Verb: meant
Object: listening (A gerund.)
Everything before meant is a separate dependent clause that answers the question: When? (During is the clue.)
Everything after listening answers the question: Listening to what? (To is the clue.)
Clause analysation 
Incidentally, it's an analysis.
