What you’re looking at

This page is **primarily advertising and entertainment reviews**, not political satire. The main editorial content concerns **Marshal Foch's visit to America**. The piece praises the French military leader as a dignified statesman and peacemaker—not merely a militarist—during a period when international conferences (likely post-WWI peace negotiations) were underway. The tone suggests Foch's visit reassured Americans of France's commitment to peaceful resolution rather than military aggression. The bulk of the page consists of **silent film reviews** (typical for Life magazine of this era) and advertisements for consumer products: Pears' Soap, Piso's cough syrup, Bell-Ans indigestion relief, and poker chips. There is **no identifiable political cartoon** on this page. The Marshal Foch section is straightforward editorial commentary celebrating a foreign dignitary's character and diplomatic value, not satire or caricature.

Good morning! Have you used Soak oh The Anstocrat of Sine Joilet Soaps Marshal Foch HE American Legion did every- one a good turn by bringing Mar- shal Foch here on a visit. He gave en- | tire satisfaction. He came, he saw, he | was exhibited ‘and entertained, and he got away alive, and apparently without detriment to his health. France has been lucky in having such a man here while the conference was sitting and everyone’s eye was on her. Her Mar-| shal is not only a great general, but a first-class citizen of the world. He seemed to have nothing in his mind that needed to be concealed. The most famous soldier of his day, he is no militarist, but a sound and faithful worker for peace and good-will in the world. One saw in him in all situations simplicity, sincerity and intelligence. Insist / Insist! _ Insist! on it by name PISOS for Coughs a and Cel Colds This syrup is diferent from all others.

It is not well produced nor well acted, but it has a vivid story which is skilfully carried to a smashing climax. GET-RICH-QUICK WALLINGFORD (Para- mount)—George Randolph Chester’s gentle graft- ers are reproduced with all their straightforward crookedness in a picture that is not quite as good as it ought to be. THE BELL-HOP (Vitegraph)—Larry Semon spills a bottle of ink on the shiny summit of a bald-headed man, and does other tricks equally ludicrous. THE LOTUS EATER (First National)—John Sure Relief (25 CENTS Nees 6 BeLcans LNwes] Hot water | Sure Relief BELL-ANS FOR INDIGESTION Barrymore in a pleasant fantasy, directed by the inspired Mr. Neilan. It combines humor, drama and romance in almost equal doses. THE CALL OF THE NORTH (Paramount) —The usual amount of mackinaws, half-breeds, strong men, and gun play—without the usual amount of snow. For which, let us give thanks! MOLLY O (First National)—Mabel Nor- mand and Mack Sennett collaborate on a pro- duction that displays a great deal of hokum and splurge, but which is only intermittently effective. A PRINCE THERE WAS (Paramount)— Thomas Meighan in a whimsical little story about an affluent young rounder who enters a poverty-stricken boarding house, and there finds the perfect love that he has searched for in vain. THE SILENT CALL (First National)—A German police dog enlivens a conventional melo- drama. THE SHEIK (Paramount)—A swift-moving tale of torrid love. Rudolph Valentino as the handsome Arab who conducts his amours on a catch-as-catch-can basis. OUR MUTUAL FRIEND (Wid Gunning)— Dickens’s novel is reproduced on the screen by a cast of excellent Swedish actors. It is a delight- ful picture, weak only in its continuity. THE BONNIE BRIER BUSH (Paramount) —Pleasant production, staged in a Scottish set- ting, with some good acting by Mary Glynne and Donald Crisp. THE ACE OF HEARTS (Goldwyn)—An in- tense melodrama of the “gripping” order, that maintains a strangle-hold on the spectator’s at- tention from start to finish. THE BOAT (First National)—Buster Keaton, in a shipwreck, is not quite so funny as usual. THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCA- LYPSE (Metro)—Unquestionably the greatest motion picture ever made. THE FLOWER OF THE NORTH (Vita- graph)—Pauline Starke is sufficient in herself to atone for a large number of shortcomings in this melodrama of the big woods, and she has her hands full. FOR REVIEW NEXT WEEK—“Fool’s Para- dise,” “Vendetta,” “Miss Lulu Bett,” “A Man's and “Boomerang Bill.” (This, by the way, is the third time we have announced “Boomerang Bill” for review next week. We shall make good now, if we have to run the re- view on the cover.) PROHIBITION will work great injury to the cause of temper- ance. It is a species of intemper- ance within itself, for it goes be- yond the bounds Of reason, in that it attempts to control a man’s appe- tite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles on . which our government was founded.
