What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **theatrical advertising and reviews** rather than political satire. It lists Broadway shows currently running, with brief critical descriptions by "L.M." The top section, "The Best New Plays of the Season," features a decorative woodcut illustration (unrelated to specific content) and reviews approximately 30 theatrical productions. Notable context: Many titles reference **World War I themes**—"The Man Who Stayed at Home" (addressing "slackers"), "Her Country" (patriotic sentiment), and "Going Up" suggest this page dates to the WWI era, when such themes dominated American entertainment. The reviews use casual, gossipy language typical of the period ("Assorted tinkles and sparkles," "spice by the shovelful") and focus on star power and plot summary rather than critical analysis. The bottom half contains standard Broadway theater advertisements listing venues, times, and cast names—essentially a theatrical listing service for readers planning evening entertainment.

Double exposure Philosophy By Hepa Baker HERE'S seldom a smart of the head or the heart That Time won't eventually cure; There's seldom a pain of the body or brain, But that one can somehow endure: There’s seldom a grief so deep but relief Comes at last to one’s suffering sense; And there’s never a thrill of great joy or ill, That can matter one hundred years hence. Parlors and Parlors “Listen—this is a parlor story.”” “Tonsorial or domestic?” A Valuable Tip 'UDGE was one of the three most popular publications in the camps in a list including all the leading magazines. “The happy medium,” Judge, furnishes welcome relaxation for war-strung nerves. Stick a t¢ stamp on the cover of this issue, according to postmaster Burleson’s advice,and drop in the mail; the Government will send it to soldiers or sailors at the front. Do this every week, and you'll make life that much cheerier for the men in camp and “over there.” Or send us a dollar and a soldier’s or sailor’s name and address —either at camp or at the front—and we'll send him the next 13 issues.
