What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and editorial content**, not political satire. The main feature is a **Hinds Cream shaving product advertisement** that opens with a mild social jab: "Eve ate the apple; / And now woman pays," suggesting women bear consequences of men's actions. The ad then pivots to humor about men's daily shaving struggle, positioning Hinds Cream as relief. The page also includes **humorous short items**: Dorothy Parker's sardonic poem about life's futility (reflecting 1920s literary cynicism), and a joke about a professor asking students to note what they've forgotten—classic absurdist humor. A brief note mentions **George Bernard Shaw receiving the Order of Merit**, predicting his characteristically dismissive response. The remaining space contains **legal ownership statements** required by Congress, listing Life's publishers and editors (Charles Dana Gibson prominent among them). There is **no political cartoon**—the page represents typical 1920s magazine content: advertising, light verse, and bureaucratic notices.

36 Before Shaving HINDS CREAM Eve ate the apple; And now woman pays. But why don’t They shed some tears For poor man Whose crop of whiskers Is ready for fight Each morning? Men! We’ve found a way To take the fight Clean out of beards Before you lather. Try Hinds Cream. Before you lather, rub in Hinds Cream vigor- ously for two or three seconds. You'll be sur- prised how it softens the beard! Then lather right over the Hinds Cream while itis still wet. Boy! what a clean, smooth, easy shave! z After shaving, rub in a little more Hinds Cream until your fin- gers cling. Your skin will feel soft and ree laxed all day.

Oh, hard is the struggle, and sparse is The gain of the one at the top, For art is a form of catharsis, And love is a permanent flop, And work is the province of cattle, And rest’s for a clam in a shell, So I'm thinking of throwing the battle— Would you kindly direct me to hell? —Dorothy Parker, in New York World. Memo. “Now,” said the professor when he had finished his lecture on the functioning of the memory, “I want to ask each mem- ber of the class to make a note of every point he has remembered.
