What you’re looking at

This page from *Whiz-Bang* (April 1, 1924) contains theatrical gossip rather than political cartoons. The content consists of three celebrity gossip items: 1. **Richard Barthelmess and Mary Hay**: Reports suggest marital tension—Barthelmess danced with chorus girls (Kay Carlin, Louise Groody) instead of his wife at a party. 2. **Irving Berlin and Connie Talmadge**: References Berlin's romance being approved by the wealthy Schenck family, who lent him their yacht. 3. **Bernarr Macfadden**: A physical culturist (fitness promoter) receives criticism for "pestiferousness" in a Broadway magazine. The satire targets entertainment-world romantic scandals and social climbing among celebrities of the era.
