What you’re looking at

This page contains celebrity gossip rather than political cartoons. It discusses three Hollywood scandals: 1. **Mille Andree Lafayette** — A French actress hired to play "Trilby" in a film. The columnist critiques her appearance (straight blonde hair, needing curls) and personality (cold and silent rather than vivacious). 2. **Jack Holt** — His children caught chickenpox, preventing him from playing polo at an exclusive country club, disrupting his social life. 3. **Charlie** and **Poli** — An engagement announcement became tabloid fodder. The scandal involved jealousy (someone named "Sharlee"), a refused nightie scene, and a one-day broken engagement blamed on wealth disparity ("Sharlee is rich and I am poor"). The satire mocks Hollywood's manufactured publicity and dramatic personal conflicts.
