What you’re looking at

This page contains three short satirical items typical of 1920s humor magazines: 1. **Art school debate**: Students mock a supposedly serious artistic endeavor, with the moral that you cannot replicate the Moulin Rouge (the famous Parisian cabaret) in "Saintly Chi[cago]"—mocking both art pretension and Chicago's reputation for vice. 2. **"They're More Than Willing"**: A moralistic piece from a religious publication criticizing Chicago authorities' warnings to women about wearing revealing bathing suits at public beaches. The satire targets the contradiction between enforcement and actual public behavior. 3. **"Berkeley Girls Curious"**: Female students at UC Berkeley are frustrated that a gym director announced 25 "physically perfect" male freshmen but refused to publish their names—satirizing both youthful curiosity and paternalistic gatekeeping.
