What you’re looking at

This page contains theatrical satire with five cartoon panels mocking San Francisco stage productions: 1. **Top left**: "The Favorite at Stockwell's"—a horse labeled "Bay District 29 Days Racing," satirizing what appears to be an actual theatrical production. 2. **Top right**: "The Three Guard Men at the California"—mocking guardsmen characters, with a caption suggesting they're intimidating enough to make "any Guardsman stare with envy." 3. **Middle**: A Darwin Box Office scene depicting theatrical personalities (names unclear from image). 4. **Bottom left**: "Shakespeare arrives at the Bush"—parodying a Shakespeare production. 5. **Bottom right**: "Orpheus and the Champion Liar at the Tivoli"—satirizing another local production. The page ridicules contemporary San Francisco theater offerings and their various productions, though specific plays or performers aren't clearly identifiable from the image alone.
