What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and theater listings** rather than political satire. The dominant content includes: **Advertisements:** - Hotel Walton (Philadelphia) promoting budget lodging - Romeike's Press Clipping Bureau (a media monitoring service) - Red Cross subscription appeal **Theater Section:** Extensive New York theater reviews of contemporary Broadway productions (with titles like "Business Before Pleasure," "Peter Ibbetson," "Polly with a Past"). These appear to be standard entertainment listings. **Book Reviews:** Brief notes on recent publications by Maurice Switzer, Samuel Ellsworth Kiser, and John T. McCutcheon—praising their humor and illustrations. **Small Illustrations:** Include what appears to be a vintage advertisement for "Wall Nuts" and "Remoh Gems" (jewelry/diamonds). The page lacks obvious political cartooning or satirical commentary. It functions primarily as a **period advertising and entertainment guide**, typical of Judge magazine's commercial content alongside its better-known satirical features.

Readers of Jupcr will find some things in the volume that orig- inally appeared in His Honor’s pages, but there isn’t one of them that will not repay a second reading. And there is much other verse in ‘Satire and Song” that will promote delight and good digestion while the illustra- tions are handsome. Mr. Switzer has a happy fancy and an etching satire. AMUEL ELLSWORTH KISER, known intimately by the humorists of the land as “Sam,” has put forth an enlarged volume of his “Love Sonnets of An Office Boy” (published by Forbes & Co., Chicago), and this will highly amuse persons who may be fortunate enough to get it. Mr. Kiser has several other volumes to his credit, all of them worthy and entertaining, but here is a story in verse that is richly humorous and intensely human as office boys are human. John T. McCutcheon has furnished a dozen illustrations which graphically depict the incidents which Mr. Kiser evolves. It is a small volume, but a joyous one. CRITERION ern ate Ee 2 A. H.
