What you’re looking at

This page presents four satirical cartoons critiquing American political and social figures circa the early 20th century: 1. **Top left**: A figure labeled "America First" on a ship, with text "He will put up 'bout / He will not shut up"—likely mocking isolationist or nationalist rhetoric. 2. **Center**: "Idealism" depicted as a figure with angel wings hovering above clouds, suggesting criticism of impractical idealism in politics or governance. 3. **Bottom left**: "The Striker"—a caricatured figure with a hammer, representing labor activism or union organizing. 4. **Bottom right**: "He still roosts aloft"—a figure on stilts above ground level, unclear reference without additional context. The title frames these as familiar "vaudeville turns" (theatrical acts), suggesting these political phenomena are repetitive entertainments rather than substantive issues.
