What you’re looking at

This page is primarily a theater review column discussing San Francisco performances. The main content critiques various stage productions, including Tom Craven's "The White Star" at the Grand Opera House and Wilson and Hirschbach's "Little Robinson Crusoe." The photographs show performers associated with these productions, including what appears to be Dan'l T. Frawley (identified in the text as an actor-manager opening the new Columbia Theatre on Monday, May 13th). Rather than political satire, this represents *The Wasp's* entertainment journalism—offering commentary on local theatrical quality, casting choices, and audience reception. The column discusses both praised and criticized aspects of productions, reflecting period theater criticism standards.
