What you’re looking at
This page showcases actresses from the theatrical production **"Ladies' Night in a Turkish Bath,"** a farce produced by Al Woods. The images feature performers including Eleanor Dawn, Evelyn Gosnell, Adele Row, Allyn King (a former Follies dancer), and Suzon (a maid character). The accompanying text is essentially **promotional content**, celebrating the show's appeal by emphasizing both the actresses' attractiveness and their comedic performances in related productions like "Up in Mabel's Room." The humor relies on the premise of the farce—men mistakenly entering a women's Turkish bath—and suggests the combination of beautiful actresses and slapstick comedy makes it irresistible entertainment. Rather than political satire, this represents how **Judge magazine blended entertainment coverage with advertising**, using photographs of stage actresses to promote Broadway productions to its readers.

“ Ladies’ Night’ in a Turkish bath would be crowded with land as Suzon, the maid, seen on the lower right, allures almost thrills e.en without this quartette of Al Woods beauties. Fleanor as much as the statuesque charm of delectable Allyn King, the for Dawn in the upper left-hand corner, with Evelyn Gosnell, her vis- mer Follies magnet. Add to these attractions, Jimmy, Fred and 2.vis on the right, cooed their way into popular favor in “Upin Cort, inthe pool * by mistake ” on" Ladies’ Night "—and you have Mabel’s Room,” you will remember. While the smile of Adele Row: _ the ingredients for a farce no T. B. M. in his right mind could resist.
