What you’re looking at
This page contains theater criticism and comedic illustrations rather than political satire. **"A Critique of To-morrow"** reviews a theatrical production at the Grand Theatre, listing prominent actors and stage personalities of the era (Rose Lafeury, Morris Blake, and others). The critic, C.G.S., admits not remembering the play's plot or name—suggesting it was forgettable. **"Everybody Happy"** presents two jokes: one about a rained-out picnic, and a larger illustration depicting a countryside accident where a horse has apparently malfunctioned, with the caption "'Oh! Jones, is that a sleigh—or is it a horse-laugh?'" The visual pun plays on "horse-laugh" (derisive laughter) and literal horse mishap. This is entertainment criticism and wordplay humor, not political commentary.
