What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a **cigarette advertisement**, not political satire. The left side features an Old Briar Tobacco ad showing a man smoking a pipe, claiming it's "the best pipe smoke ever made." The ad emphasizes quality, expert blending, and positions the product as an ideal Christmas gift. The right column contains **"High Heels,"** a society gossip column documenting a wealthy person's week attending Broadway shows (including *Artists and Models*, Helen Hayes in *Coquette*, and *Trial of Mary Dugan*) and social events at venues like the Mirador and Lido speakeasy—a reference to Prohibition-era illegal bars. The column concludes with "The Six Best Steppers," listing popular Broadway musical numbers of the era. **Context for modern readers:** This represents 1920s entertainment culture and leisure among the affluent, alongside tobacco marketing practices that were entirely legal and considered respectable at the time.
