What you’re looking at
This page combines advertisements with satirical humor typical of Life magazine's format. **Main Cartoon ("He Got the Point"):** A prominent educator arrives at the afterlife's gates, expecting rigorous testing—intelligence exams, memory problems, moral character assessments. The gatekeeper denies all such requirements. When the educator expresses surprise at this "queer sort of heaven," the gatekeeper reveals he's actually in *hell*, not heaven. The satire mocks educational institutions and their obsession with testing and evaluation, suggesting that rigorous assessment is more characteristic of damnation than paradise. **Supporting Items:** - A brief joke about Former King Ferdinand of Bulgaria arriving in Rome "incognito"—mocking that a deposed monarch needs disguise when movie stars and boxers travel openly without concern. **Advertisements dominate the page:** cigarettes, dandruff remedy, cruise lines, malted milk, and shaving cream—typical early 1920s products. The cigarette ad features a dramatic noir-style illustration claiming "the most skillful blend in cigarette history."
