This page combines entertainment reviews with satirical cartoons about 1920s consumer culture and marriage. **Top cartoon**: A man waits for a train wearing fashionable clothing (Nick Hat, Sparrow Collar, Max overcoat). The joke satirizes male materialism and shallow priorities—he remains cheerful despite his wife being trapped in a burning building because he's preserved her cosmetics collection and learned to "save the surface," a likely reference to a beauty product advertisement. The humor targets both consumer culture obsession and marital indifference. **Left text**: A theater critic (likely the magazine's author) reviews current films: "The Dressmaker from Paris" (featuring Ernest Torrence and fourteen women), Madge Kennedy in "Bad Company," and "Contraband" with Lois Wilson. The critic emphasizes the films' visual spectacle and female performers rather than plot substance. The page essentially mocks 1920s priorities: commercial entertainment, beauty product consumerism, and material comfort over genuine human concern.
