What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **theatrical advertising and reviews**, not political cartooning. It consists of: **Left side:** Theater advertisements for Broadway productions (Business Before Pleasure, Parlor Bedroom and Bath, etc.) with a small decorative illustration of a dancing figure at the top. **Right side:** "Broadway and Thereabouts"—a theatrical column reviewing current New York stage productions with brief, dismissive summaries of each show's plot. The tone is gossipy and sardonic; for example, *Lombardi Ltd.* gets praise for its set designer but the jab: "he can't make money." **Context for modern readers:** This page documents early 1920s Broadway entertainment. The reviews assume readers recognize the actors (Ethel Barrymore, Al Jolson, etc.). Terms like "monocle" and "zeppelin-shaped dowager" reflect period fashion and social satire. The page shows how Judge mixed highbrow humor with popular entertainment coverage.
