What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** for Johnson's Shaving Cream Soap and Evans' Ale, interspersed with a satirical article about Theodore Roosevelt. The main cartoon content mocks **Colonel Theodore Roosevelt** by showing him dressed in various exaggerated facial hair styles—as Kaiser Wilhelm II, as a Wild West outlaw from "Bitter Creek," and as a magician (Professor Herrmann). The satire's point: Roosevelt's public persona is so forceful and protean that he could convincingly adopt *any* style, no matter how incongruous. The article's tone is playful mockery of Roosevelt's famous vigor and international prominence. References to his African safari and his reputation for "strenuous" action support this. The comparison to Kaiser Wilhelm suggests Roosevelt shared that ruler's imperial ambitions—a dig at his expansionist foreign policy. The humor relies on Roosevelt's recognizability to Judge's contemporary audience and his larger-than-life public image as America's energetic, adventurous leader.

We might imag- ine, I say, but let us not do so. We come next to this heroic rep- resentation (Cut 9).

Our next of Colo- nel Roosevelt (Cut 10) brings him be- fore us in the guise e of one of those des- perate brothers of chance or one of those bad men from Bitter Creek which we see oftentimes the stage in Broadway melo- drama. Colonel R. but he takes a good many chances, and as a terror in the old Bitter Creek days he was the hot wallop, and no mistake. Hence this style, I may say, is remin’ cential. But it would not do for daily wear either in Washington or New York, for obvious reasons. Neither would it be comme il faut—pardon my French !—among the wild ones of Afric's jungly glades. I feel convinced, as, no doubt, many of you do, that if a lion, or a rhinoceros, or a dikdik, or a nignig, or any of those faunal ferocities of that dark land should have seen the colonel in whiskers like that coming at them, they would have broke for the tall tim- ber, and he never would have got a single specimen to send home for scientific purposes. The picture now before us (Cut 11) must surely please the ladies. See what an air—debonair, I might say—it lends to his otherwise stern countenance. He is no imperialiet, but this imperial on (Cut 10) is not a brother, whisker inakes him look like a crown! was an absolute ne- cessity to complete the picture. Insome respects it reminds us forcibly of the late Professor Herrmann, the cel- ebrated sleight-of- hand performer. But Colonel Roose- velt isnot that kind of aperformer. No sleight-of-hand for him. He goes in withhisfists, But aren't those whiskers a perfect dream, ladies? (Cut) We come ladies and gentle- men, to our closing scenes and present a whiskerless pic- ture of Colonel Roosevelt (Cut 12). How do you like him bereft of his beard? It is too smooth, I am sure you must say, knowing, as you all do, that the colonel is not of the smooth type. He never could get anything on his face if he kept it looking like that. So why show him in the impossible? now, (Cut 12) | Now, if this were a Taft picture show— However, it is not, and I shall therefore refrain from comparisons which are what you have frequently heard they were. The next picture is still further a departure (Cut 13). Here we have him in his usual form of facial hirsuteness, genuine - bare, did I not fear the nature fakers. (Cat 13) But ain't heasight for gods and men, not to mention the ladies? There is no indication yet of anything like this happening, but you never can tell what will happen to T. Roosevelt. There are several able states- men and politicians in this broad land of p, freedom right now who would give a bonus to know the answer, To judge from this picture, the absence of h: does not enhance his manly beauty; but tastesdiffer. His dome of thought lacks rotundity, so to speak, and yet there have been times and occasions when he was not as level-headed as the most exacting could wish. However, every- body to their liking, as the old lady said when she kissed her cow. In answering advertisements please mention JUDGE. It will be appreciated. Our last and final , Picture, ladies and | gentlemen (Cut 14), shows Colonel Roosevelt as I in- troduced him at the beginning of my lecture. I present this again, after the others, in order that you may take home with you only memories of what you are used to. Some of you may have thought that a moving- picture show was the only correct way to present Culonel Roosevelt properly and naturally, but the colonel has got acopyright on that, and all other ex- hibitors are shut out. This concludes the entertainment, and I thark you one and all for your atten- tion. Ihope you are sufficiently pleased to come again to the next exhibition, of which announcement will be made later. Copies of ** The Simple Life "’ cannot be purchased at the door as you pass out. Colonel Roosevelt may have believed what he said about that book, but nobody else ever did who tried to read it.
