What you’re looking at
This is a theatrical feature, not satire—a straightforward celebrity showcase from Judge magazine. It presents three prominent Broadway performers of the era: 1. **Mrs. Arthur Hammerstein** (Claire Nagle), returning to stage in "Tickle Me" 2. **Miss Nancy Gibbs**, a London actress performing in "Monsieur Beaucaire" 3. **Miss Patti Harrold**, star of "Irene," described as New York's most successful musical The page celebrates these women as theatrical celebrities, using the term "graces" to denote their elegance and accomplishment. The mascot reference (Flannigan) appears to be a stage prop or in-joke. This represents how Judge covered Broadway's social and entertainment world—promotional coverage of popular actresses performing in current productions.

Mrs. Arthur Hammerstein, who, as Claire Nagle, has returned to the stage as prima donna in “Tickle Me.” Miss Nancy Gibbs, a popu- lar figure in London, who was first seen in New York in Booth Tarkington and Andre Messager’s operetta, “Monsieur Beaucaire,” and is rehearsing in a new pro- duction. The mascot’s name is Flannigan, Miss Patti Harrold, prima donna of “Irene,” the most successful musical show in New York, which is filling the Vanderbilt Theatre and adding laurels to Miss Harrold’s histrionic crown.
