What you’re looking at

This page features a photograph (rather than a cartoon) of **Corinne Griffith**, a silent film actress, captured mid-leap in an elaborate costume with a fan-like prop, against a dark theatrical backdrop. The accompanying text explains that despite Griffith's name being associated with "pictorial action," she doesn't find it difficult to become a "literal motion picture figure"—suggesting wordplay on her surname and her physical expressiveness on stage. The reference to her as an "aerial jazz queen" indicates this depicts a dance performance, likely from a theatrical revue. The humor appears to derive from the pun on her name combined with her athletic performance style, which was apparently notable enough for *Judge* magazine's satirical commentary on entertainment personalities of the era.
