What you’re looking at
This page features a glamour photograph of actress Diana Gordon from the Broadway show "Music Box Revue," credited to photographer Edwin Bower Hesser. The accompanying text makes a mild joke: it references the common summer small-talk question "Is it hot enough for you?" and presents Gordon's posed photograph as a "winter adaptation" with the inverted query "Brrr, where does that draft come from?"—a playful innuendo about her revealing costume and exposed legs. The "Fairest of a Bumper Crop" heading suggests this is part of a series of actress photographs. This appears to be entertainment/celebrity content rather than political satire, typical of 1920s magazine filler celebrating stage performers.
