What you’re looking at

This page contains theatrical reviews rather than political cartoons. The main illustration shows a profile portrait of **Mr. A. Ellinghouse**, identified as the Business Manager of Stockwell's theatre, a prominent amusement house of the era. The text reviews various theatrical productions and performers appearing in San Francisco venues that week, including: - Frank Daniels in "Dr. Cupid" - "The Crust of Society" at the California Theatre - Opera productions and concerts The reviews are lighthearted, praising performers like Bill Nye (a celebrated humorist) and Signor Martinez (pianist). The satire is gentle—typical of entertainment journalism—poking fun at theatrical quality and artistic choices rather than engaging in sharp political critique. This represents The Wasp's arts and entertainment coverage rather than its satirical editorial content.
