What you’re looking at

This page comprises theatre reviews and a single cartoon satirizing American industrial magnates. **The Reviews**: The left columns list Broadway shows with brief, often sarcastic critiques—typical of Life's theatre section from the early 1920s. Titles range from serious drama (*R.U.R.*, *Rose Bernd*) to comedies and musicals (*Abie's Irish Rose*, *Ziegfeld Follies*). **The Cartoon**: Titled "Intimate Glimpses of American Generals of Industry," it depicts Mr. Wrigley (the chewing gum magnate) boarding a train labeled the "Wrigley Special." The satire mocks industrial titans' self-aggrandizing behavior—Wrigley apparently owns a private train bearing his name. The cartoon ridicules the ego and extravagance of wealthy businessmen who name everything after themselves, presenting this as absurdly comical rather than impressive.
