What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and entertainment reviews**, not political satire. The main content includes: **Advertisements:** Jason Weiler & Sons (diamond importer) dominates the left side with product images and pricing for engagement rings and jewelry, emphasizing mail-order purchasing and guarantees. **"Table Luxury" section:** A lighthearted four-stanza poem by C.B.E. celebrating the delicatessen man—praising his cleanliness, good food, and polished appearance with a humorous cannibal-themed punchline. **"The Silent Drama" section:** Film reviews of contemporary movies (Paramount, Metro, First National productions), critiquing recent silent films with brief, sardonic commentary. Notable: negative review of Pola Negri's transition to Hollywood. **Small cartoon:** Two boys discussing French lessons as an alternative to music practice—a simple joke with no political content. The page reflects 1920s consumer culture and entertainment interests rather than political commentary.

The Bright Shawl. First National —A feeble story of the Cuban revo- lution, with Richard Barthelmess do- ing what he can in a thankless réle. Souls for Sale. Goldwyn—An orgy of sentiment, in which Rupert Hughes attempts to prove that Hollywood isn’t as red as it is painted. Safety Last. Pathé—Another sure- fire comedy with Harold Lloyd as the center of excitement. You Can’t Fool Paramount—One of those ty things, with costly clothes, marital infidelity and frolics on the beach at Miami. The plot is unspeakably fool- ish, but it is partially redeemed by the fine work of Lewis Stone and Leatrice Joy. Where the Pavement Ends. Metro —A slow but sure romance of the South Seas, directed by Rex Ingram. The Nth Commandment. Par mount—More propaganda for Califor- nia and against New York. Suzanna. First National—Mabel Normand is delightful, even if the story in which she appears is not. Jazzmania. Mctro—Mae Murra continues to advertise her physique in a silly, crude, boring picture.
