What you’re looking at
This page is primarily a **theater listings and reviews section** from Judge magazine, not political satire. The main content includes: **"What to See"** advertises Broadway shows playing in New York, including productions featuring Al Jolson in "Sinbad," Clifton Crawford in "Fancy Free," and others—typical 1918 entertainment. **"Broadway and Thereabouts"** provides brief, often witty plot summaries of current theatrical productions, using clever wordplay (e.g., "Business Before Pleasure" is set "Behind the screen in filmdom"). **"Exigencies of War"** is a single comic dialogue: a mother asks why pillows disappeared from the house; her son Willie replies the home guard boys need them for bayonet practice. This is a **WWI-era joke** mocking civilian "home guard" military drills as absurdly enthusiastic. The page reflects American theater culture and homefront attitudes during World War I, not political commentary or character caricature.
