From Life, July-December 1922:
***[from a spoof horoscope]A slight shimmying motion of Venus and Mercury has the effect of doubling Barnum's law of one sucker per minute.***the Drivoli Theatre***a woman at odds with the Sphinx-riddle of education***At first we thought that the title ["Millions"] referred to the number of times the author was going to say the same obvious thing.***Mr. Hooker...confuses rhyming long words ending in "-ation" and names of cities ending in "-tucket" with uplift in lyric writing. [Benchley]***[Bonus: A film-review column reminded me that when Felix the Cat is startled or perplexed, his tail turns into a question mark.]Notes on some of the attachments:1. As you will gather, these slightly bizarre "Intimate Glimpses" cartoons are a series (we had one earlier, labeled by me simply as "what is going on here?" or the like).2. As you will probably also gather, the "Hubbard" bits are from a piece retelling the Old Mother H. tale à la various playwrights.3. The bonus Pep-O-Mint ad is actually not from Life 1922, but from Cosmopolitan 1920, but I decided to pair it up with its cousin.
