What you’re looking at
This page features theatrical reviews rather than political satire. It showcases three actresses and their current Broadway roles circa the 1920s: **Margaret Loomis** appears in "Fool's Paradise," noted as a former Ruth St. Denis student and Cecil de Mille film actress. **Peggy Wood** stars in "Mariolaine," playing an old-fashioned girl. The commentary humorously laments that modern audiences wish they could return to times of "quaintness and modesty"—a gentle jab at contemporary (1920s) fashion and behavior becoming more daring. **Pauline Lord** receives praise for her performance in Eugene O'Neill's "Anna Christie," with the reviewer noting surprise that this O'Neill play has a happy ending (unusual for the famously dark playwright). The page is primarily entertainment coverage celebrating current Broadway productions and their stars, reflecting Judge's broader cultural commentary beyond politics.
