What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising**, dominated by hotel promotions for the Statler Hotels chain and the Ritz-Carlton in Atlantic City—typical luxury travel ads targeting wealthy readers. The small cartoon in the upper right appears to be a humorous illustration about **acrobatic or physical comedy in film**—showing a figure performing contorted poses. The accompanying caption jokes that what appears to be someone balancing a crossbar on his head while jumping is actually "just a man standing on his head," with the makeup department having printed the picture upside down. This mocks early film technical errors or trick photography mishaps. The "Judging the Movies" column discusses Russian revolutionary films like "The Red Dancer" and "The End of St. Petersburg," comparing them to American war dramas. The writer expresses satirical exhaustion with the glut of Russian peasant-themed cinema, planning to avoid seeing another such film that summer. Overall, this page reflects 1920s concerns: luxury hospitality marketing and commentary on the Soviet film trend then popular in American cinema.
