This page is primarily **advertising and literary review**, not political satire. The main content includes: **Literary Review Section ("Life and Letters"):** Baird Leonard reviews "Susan Shane" by Roger Burlingame, a novel about an ambitious woman who rises from rural poverty to open a successful Fifth Avenue restaurant, ultimately marrying a millionaire. Leonard praises her determination while critiquing the author's heavy-handed character development. **Advertisements:** Multiple product ads dominate the page—The Broadmoor resort, Barbasol shaving cream, Forhan's toothpaste for gum disease, and Resinol soap. **Humor:** A brief joke at bottom ("Stacks It Up") plays on the double meaning of "piles of money"—the punchline reveals the man is a bank teller, literally stacking money. The page reflects 1920s consumer culture and literary tastes rather than political commentary.

What a lavish reciprocal gesture could be made if a French doctor with write: itch caught sight of “Arrowsmith”! E,” by Roger Bur- lingame (Scribner), is the story of a girl who could have doubled (and let us say “in brass” for the sheer literal worth of the term) for the lad who bore through snow and ice a banner with the strange dev ete. The minute the heroine saw her first cherry ‘art in its professional making, she also saw her name in gilt against a white background over an eating-place on Fifth Avenue. Then and there she took a vow that nothing should stop her in her march to her goal. And from sordid and beggarly rural surround- ings she fought her way up along those lines, tripling her prices when the summer people struck town. tempering them later to suit tl trade-winds, sparing no man a smile en se. On the altar of commercialism she sacrificed the one weakness of her life, young David Cord, but in the end she mar- ried a millionaire, and who amongst the hardboiled element will deny, in spite of her occasional swoopings in David's direction, that Susan knew what she wanted? I must confess kly that Mr. Burlingame, tempting to harden his heroine's character, seemed to be stirring in the cement with a shovel, and if he hadn’t allowed her to relent and give poor May Billings her full we wages on page 211, I should have dropped his novel into Lake Otsego then and there. Having a distinct personal terror of lighting a gas stove, I cannot un- derstand an ambition to be in the first flight of caterers. But I am able to grasp the success of a young woman whose banner bears her own name in gilt longhand against a white background, because I have eaten once or twice in Fifth Avenue estab- lishments with such legends over their doors wherein the portions look like samples and the prices read like a garage invoice.
