What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising** rather than political satire. It contains three distinct ads: 1. **Squibb's Dental Cream** ("Make It Snappy"): A 1929 dental hygiene ad targeting smokers, claiming the product's Milk of Magnesia particles keep breath fresh and smoking taste "keen and crisp." The illustration shows a well-dressed man—likely meant to represent a sophisticated businessman or gentleman. 2. **"Guard the Danger Line"**: An incomplete ad below, apparently also dental/hygiene-related. 3. **Cunard Line cruise ship advertisement**: Promoting leisure travel to English manor houses and France. The movie review section discusses films including "At The South Pole," which documents Robert Falcon Scott's Antarctic expedition (1912), noting the tragic historical fact that Norwegian Roald Amundsen reached the pole first. The page reflects 1920s consumer culture and leisure advertising rather than political commentary.

MAKE IT SNAPPY YES, you'd better hurry. You don’t know what you’ve been missing, if you smoke without having Squibb’s Dental Cream to brace up your taste. Squibb’s not only protects, it snaps up and livens. The tiny particles of Milk of Magnesia, left in the crevices of the mouth, tend to keep your smoking taste al- ways keen and crisp. Sweeten the breath, too, and tone up the whole oral cavity. Make it a point tonight to start) using Squibb’s Dental Cream. You'll find it at any drug store. 40c a generous tube. © 1929 by E. R.

A technicolor sequence called “The Wedding of the Painted Doll” is made effective by the use of trick stage scenery familiar to New York theatre | goers. By all means see “Broadway Mel- ody.” “At The South Pole” “At The South Pole” is the first motion picture ever taken of condi- tions and animal life in the Antarctic. Reduced to two or three reels it would be very entertaining, but the film has been unmercifully padded to provide a feature-length attraction and the in- terest suffers from this treatment. It is a partial record of the heroic expedition of Robert Falcon Scott, the famous British explorer who reached the South Pole in 1912, only to find records which proved that Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian, had beaten him to the goal by several hours. The final tragic touch was added when Scott and his companions perished from starvation and exposure on the return journey when almost within sight of their base of supplies. “At The South Pole” will give you a graphic idea of the obstacles which are being faced by Commander Rich- their present Antarctic explorations. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the noted polar explorer, delivered a short lecture as a prologue to the picture when it was shown in New York. If Mr. Stefansson accompanies the film to your city, I can assure you that his talk will be worth the price of ad- mission.
