The Wasp — 1896 — page 228: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **theatrical advertising and entertainment listings** for San Francisco venues, with only a small illustrated masthead labeled "Glimpses of the Stage" at top left. The masthead cartoon depicts what appears to be **theatrical performers or personalities** in a comedic style typical of The Wasp's satirical approach, though specific individuals aren't clearly identified in the visible image. The bulk of the page contains advertisements for local theaters (Baldwin, California, Tivoli Opera House, Orpheum) and entertainment venues, along with gossip-style column text about performers like Anna Eva Fay and various productions. This is **not primarily a political cartoon page** but rather an entertainment section showcasing San Francisco's robust early-1900s theater scene.
