This is a film-review column by Carroll Carroll critiquing recent movies. The main cartoon depicts a big-game hunter showing off mounted animal heads to a guest, joking about whether they were mounted that way or "got that way afterwards"—satirizing exaggerated hunting tales. The "Reel Stuff" section reviews current films (1913-era, based on the date visible), including pictures starring Thomas Meighan and Alice Joyce. The "No Bathing Here!" segment mocks The Rivoli cinema's policy of checking coonskin coats—the writer humorously complains about the cold and jokes about Eskimo diet as compensation. The column also notes Mary Brian's performance in "The Little French Girl" as saving an otherwise mediocre film, and criticizes the movie's loose adaptation of Douglas Sedgwick's source novel. The humor relies on contemporary film references, silent-era star recognition, and early-1920s cinema culture that modern readers would need context to fully appreciate.
