What you’re looking at
This page showcases theatrical productions, likely from the 1920s. It features photographs of actors and actresses appearing in current Broadway or touring shows, with brief critiques beneath each image. The content includes: - **"Erminie"** revival with Francis Wilson and Jennie Weathersby - **Carroll McComas** in "Miss Lulu Bett," noted for her natural beauty without makeup - **Jean Scott** praised as a reason for the "Winter Garden Show's" success - **Holbrook Blinn** in "The Bad Man," credited with satirical comedy talent - **Una Fleming and Tom Bryan** in "Her Family Tree," billed as dancers despite performing acrobatic moves The satire appears gentle—mostly complimenting performers while making light observations about theatrical trends (like calling acrobatics "dancing"). This is essentially an entertainment column with photographs, typical of Judge's coverage of popular amusement and stage productions of the era.
