This is a theatrical showcase page featuring four prominent performers of the era. The text presents "histrionic and sightly contrast"—comparing different acting styles and performance types. **Identified figures:** - **Madge Kennedy** (upper left): actress in the dual role production "Cornered" at the Astor Theatre, posed to emphasize charm - **Lucille Watson** (upper right): in George Bernard Shaw's "Heartbreak House," produced by the Theatre Guild - **Serge Oukrainsky** (lower left): premier dancer of the Chicago Opera Company, now leading his own ballet - **Mitzi** (lower right, circular frame): star of the musical comedy "Lady Billy" at the Liberty Theatre The page contrasts dramatic/serious theatrical work (Shaw's play, dramatic roles) with musical comedy entertainment, illustrating the range of Broadway performance available to audiences. This appears to be promotional/review content typical of Judge magazine's coverage of popular entertainment.
