What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **theater advertising** with brief satirical humor sections. The main content consists of Broadway show listings from what appears to be WWI-era (references to "war" plays, soldier songs, absence of regular companies due to war). The two joke items visible are: 1. **"His Predilection"** — A brief dialogue joke about a baby who will become a "house-wrecking" company president, likely satirizing divorce as increasingly common ("house-wrecking" being slang for someone who breaks up marriages). 2. **"High Time"** — A quip mocking diet book trends. A previous book titled "Eat and Grow Thin" was popular; the joke suggests someone should write the opposite, "Starve and Grow Fat," as satire of such fad literature. The magazine promotes itself as providing "welcome relaxation for war-strung nerves," indicating this is wartime publication aimed at soldiers and civilians dealing with WWI stress. The advertisements emphasize theatrical escapism during wartime.
