What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **theater advertising and reviews**, not political satire. It consists of: **Left side:** Broadway theater advertisements listing current productions (Business Before Pleasure, Parlor Bedroom and Bath, A Tailor-Made Man, etc.) with venues and showtimes. **Center:** "Broadway and Thereabouts" — brief capsule reviews of New York theatrical productions, written by L.M. These are lighthearted synopses: Ethel Barrymore in a romantic drama, comedies about film producers and Kentucky con men, musical shows, etc. **Right side:** A short anecdote titled "Remembered" about Boston society entertaining soldier boys in World War I military cantonments. A soldier, impressed by a young woman at a fancy dinner, later sends an illiterate note saying he's "the guy what winked at you." **The satire:** Gentle mockery of social class — contrasting the "high brow" pretensions of an exclusive "Back Bay" family with the soldier's crude, misspelled admiration. The joke targets both upper-class affectation and working-class manners.

Boston has not been slow in opening her homes to the soldier boys with results that have sometimes been a little dazing. One of the exclusive “Back Bay” families entertained four khaki- clad youths at dinner in the most elegant fashion. The conversation was of the “high brow” variety but that it did not sink in very deep was evidenced when, a day or two later, the pretty dining-room girl in the family received the following note from one of the boys: “Cutey: You won't reckomember me, but I am the guy what winked at you two or three times during the dessert.” but it We d Kaiser ' + the last.
