This page is primarily **advertising and theater reviews**, not political satire. The main content includes: **Theater Reviews Section:** The "Judge at the Theatre" column reviews three productions: "Judge" (a royal-family comedy starring Miss Russell), "Caleb West" (a dramatized novel about lighthouse building), and mentions of Metropolitan Opera's English-language season and a Chinese musical comedy at Daly's Theatre. **Advertisements:** - Chicago & North-Western Railway promoting California travel - The Travelers Insurance Company of Hartford - "The Pretty Girl" illustration (price 25¢) - Prosperity Dinner-Pail Badge - Cascaret candy laxative - Linene Collar Cuffs **Illustration:** A sketch captioned "Borrowed a Balloon" showing three men at a dinner table, with dialogue about borrowing and returning balloons—appears to be a domestic comedy scenario. The page reflects early 20th-century consumer culture and entertainment rather than political commentary.

“JUDOE” AT THE THEATRE, | (Continued from page 1.) be in the way the members of the royal family are impersonated, notably by Miss Russell as the princess, Mr. Charles Richman as her lover, Mr. d'Orsay as the gentle monarch, and dear old Mrs. Giloert az the dowager queen. The supposed doings of these personages are as idvilic as a modern fairy-tale‘can make them, and yet their actual, visible traits are so delig! fully human that it is impessible to think they are not real. When the princess and her ardent wooer climb a tree and hide among the leaves and blossoms, spooning together and eating stolen cake, all recollection of Miss Russell and Mr. Richman ceases, and the limit of pictur- esque stage illusion is reached. “Caleb West," at the Manhattan theatre, is one of the numerous dramatized rovels. The dramatist is Michael Morton, and he hasn't done at all badly. The novel, by F. Hopkin- son Smith, has been so generally read that al- most everybody knows it is about the building of a light-house and the matrimonial misfit of Caleb West, the ancient and fish-like master diver. ut the real protagonist and best char- acter in the whole business is another bifurcated old sea dog called Captain Jor—said to be a life-like portrait of Captain Tom Scott of New London, Connecticut, where Mr. Smith actually built the Race-rock light-house and got the ma- terials for his story. Captain Joe, as played by George Fawcett, might well inspire the tribute paid him in the course of the drama by Ars. Lerey, who exclaims, “Thank God there are such men!"
