What you’re looking at

This appears to be an illustration showing a theatrical or architectural scene rather than a political cartoon. The image depicts a medieval castle or fortified structure with towers and flags, viewed from a distance along a winding path. Silhouetted figures appear in the foreground on the right side. The caption "Stage Struck" suggests this is theatrical scenery or a stage set design, possibly for a production involving a castle setting. The signature visible on the image appears to be "Orson Ross" or similar. Without additional context about which Life magazine issue this appears in or what theatrical production it references, the specific satirical point remains unclear. It could be commentary on elaborate theatrical productions or stagecraft, but the exact target of the satire cannot be determined from the image and text alone.
