What you’re looking at

This page primarily contains theater reviews rather than political cartoons. The main content discusses several Broadway productions: **"Through the Opera Glass"** reviews various plays, including Gunther's comedy-drama with L.R. Stockwell, Bronson Howard's "Aristocracy," and Robert Mantell's romantic productions. The right column, **"Do You Know,"** presents satirical questions about contemporary Washington politics and scandals—referencing figures like Col. Dib, Senators White and Perkins, Controller Eckles, and Judge Levy. These appear to be local/national political figures whose minor scandals or absurdities are mocked through rhetorical questions. The decorative header illustration shows a theatrical cherub, emphasizing the publication's focus on entertainment and social satire rather than hard political commentary.
