What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **theatrical advertising**, not political satire. It showcases New York Broadway theaters and current productions circa 1918-1920 (based on play titles and venues). The large illustrated header features a caricatured Santa Claus figure promoting "Cheating Cheaters," a melodrama playing at the Eltinge Theatre—the advertisement's visual anchor. The left column lists detailed theater advertisements for productions including Jane Cowl in "Lilac Time," Maude Adams in "A Kiss for Cinderella," and "The Willow Tree" (a Japan-set fantasy). The right side contains an unrelated essay titled "The Ocean," discussing maritime geography and marine life—standard editorial filler. **The satirical element** is modest: the headline "You Are Cheating Yourself If You Don't See Cheating Cheaters" uses the play's title as wordplay to mock readers missing this entertainment. This is essentially a **theater listings page with promotional artwork**, not a political cartoon or commentary.

A short time before an eccentric subscriber came in and paid for his paper for five years in advance and remarked that it did not make the slightest durn’ difference if the editor had, in a personal mention of said eccentric subscriber, acci- dentally omitted the final “e” from his name, which was “Browne.” Thereupon, as was entirely appropriate, the scribe fell from the tripod and began kicking and convulsing, as hereinbefore mentioned. When No Longer Young Patrick Francis Murphy says: . “Old men give young men good advice when they are no longer able to set abad example.” THE OCEAN HE OCEAN is a large, restless agglom- eration of dampness which covers a considerable portion of the — earth's surface. The ocean is so wide and so deep that it is safe to asseverate there is more ocean on earth than any other one thing, with the possible exception of useless conversation. A brief examination will show that there is much similarity between useless conversation and the ocean. They both roll in huge bil- lows, cause many wrecks, make a meaningless noise, are disagreeable to the taste, are treach- erous in many places, separate friends and relatives, are connected with countless storms, and cannot be blotted out of existence. There is, however, one point of variance. Desultory conversation is made up of all kinds of sounding , but if a sounding line is used in the ocean it will show a depth which conversation rarely posse: The ocean is inhabited by fishes, serpents, submarines, and mermaids. There are two kinds of mermaids. modern and mythical. The modern are not exactly the same as the mythical. Some of the modern variety are not comely to look upon. Those who are not comely are apt to stay in deeper water than those who seemed especially designed for scant bathing suits. Those who are comely generally satisfy their natatorial cravings by merely standing where the shallow ripples of the ocean lave the beach, hoping that shallow ripples of admiration will lave their ears. Cover a mer- maid with a panoply of favorable glances and she feels perfectly protected. Fiction is replete with the ocean. There seem to be but three kinds of popular storjes: love stories, detective stories and sea stories. Life on the bounding main has been described by all sorts of writers, and each one of them knows that the sea has a salty taste. The tides of the ocean are regulated by the moon. It is not clearly understood just why the ocean should go so far out of its way to be regulated when Congress is so much nearer at hand. It is, of course, an excellent thing to have tides regulated, for if they went out and came in with the perfect freedom of an unmar- ried man, it would frequently be very embar- rassing to proprictors of seaside hotels and clam diggers. The ocean is a wonderful institution. Few are they who can gaze out upon the mighty expanse of waters without an awed fecling, and still fewer are they who can sail across its heaving bosom without an odd feeling— Stuart W. Knight.
