The Wasp — 1878 — page 115: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and announcements**, not satirical content. The visible cartoon shows the "Grand Opera House" logo—a theatrical emblem featuring a figure in period costume. The text discusses **theater reviews**: performances at various San Francisco venues including the Opera Bouffe Company's "Girdle-Girodia," the Female Minstrels at the Théâtre, and productions at the California Theatre. Reviews mention specific actors and performances, some critically. The remainder consists of **financial notices**: dividend announcements from savings and loan societies (French Savings and Loan Society, San Francisco Savings Union, Hibernia institutions), railroad schedule changes, and brewery business reports. There is **no evident political satire** on this particular page—it represents The Wasp's advertising and business announcement sections rather than its satirical editorial content.
