What you’re looking at

This page contains "The Reel Stuff" film column by Carroll Carroll, reviewing current movies. The three cartoon illustrations are humorous commentary on contemporary films: 1. **Top cartoon**: Shows two figures in a speeding car with loose tires, captioned "Why not put those spare balloon tires where they will do some good?" — satirizing a film's implausible action sequences. 2. **Middle cartoon**: Depicts rural characters discussing laziness versus worthlessness, illustrating social stereotypes from a movie's portrayal of working-class life. 3. **Bottom cartoon**: Shows a woman adjusting car headlights in darkness, likely mocking a film's technical inaccuracies or unrealistic scenarios. The column discusses Douglas Fairbanks films and "The Mark of Zorro," suggesting these illustrations parody the exaggerated or absurd situations common in silent-era adventure movies.
