What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **theatrical advertising** for New York Broadway productions (circa 1917-1918, based on play titles and war references). The only substantive comic content is the small "Truth at Last" joke at bottom right: A perplexed city niece asks her Uncle Hyperbole why European war raises U.S. crop prices. His response is cut off, but the satire targets urban ignorance about agriculture and wartime economics. The joke reflects early-20th-century city-versus-country stereotypes—city dwellers portrayed as disconnected from how global conflict affects food supply chains and farm economics. The "Uncle" figure (a stock character for dispensing wisdom) is positioned to educate the naive urban relative. The page's main content—extensive theater listings—indicates Judge's audience: educated, urban, theater-going Americans with disposable income during the WWI era.

THE MODERN WOMAN Suffrage Facts and Fancies By ANNA CADOGAN ETZ Is the Maternal Instinct Strictly Female? B ECAUSE Harvard boys could tell seve ways in which a baby creeps and Rad. cliffe girls could tell only two, the professor inferred that boys were more observing tha girls. One notices the things one is interested ix Why not infer that boys are more interested i: babies than girls are? It is just as logical as, conclusion, but it would work the very deve with our favorite theory to the effect that th: maternal instinct is strictly female. Another Popular Idea Busted. WOMAN ALDERMAN, according to th popular idea of the female in_ politic ought to be a stern and gruesome personality But this idea got a body blow the other day when a small, pink-cheeked and very feminite person blew into New York from the Far Wes and announced to the reporters that the trinity of her adorations lay in her husband, her ca! and her ability as a poet. She proved to be none other than the pioneer woman alderman of Los Angeles and to have chalked up to her credit politically the putting of loan sharks out of business in her home tows. The Hand That Can Make Munitions T RELIEVES the monotony of the story of woman's success in taking over mascu- line occupations to read in the press that as} postmen in a Paris suburb women failed en- tirely to make good. | Ill-natured persons have suggested that they wasted time reading the postcards—a joke that should have been canned long ago and which) shows just how hard up for ammunition the! anti-feminists are. Why? HE spectacle of the Governor of Indiana alone with his conscience, his God, wife, and the to-be-signed suffrage bill stands out with singular distinctness in a country is which custom has decreed that a governor shall put the final touch on a woman suffrage law ia the midst of a bevy of admiring, sweet, and gracious suffragists, to whom with a grand flourish he duly presents the gold pen with which he wrote the epoch-making signature, said} pen functioning at the ceremony much as 3} bride’s bouquet at a wedding. The lucky one | gets it. | Many are the unborn babies in thi country | who will open their eyes for the first time ina home decorated by a gold pen won by their doughty female ancestors in a suffrage bout— but not in Indiana. No Indiana grandmothet can ever hope tu take a little Indianay on be knee and, while she dangles the shiny pen befor his eyes, tell him the story of how she helpet win the vote in that state. We rise to a poi of information. Why? , Does Indiana’s chief, executive so adore 1 life partner that at great moments he woul! be with her alone?
